One could be forgiven for skipping past Borussia
Dortmund-Legia Warsaw. If you thought it was going to be a routine victory for
Dortmund, you were half right. The hosts won. But it was anything but routine.
It was record-breaking and it was spectacular.
First, they made history by scoring five goals in
the first 25 minutes.They weren't even close to being finished after that
though, as the half ended 5-2, equaling a Champions League record for most
goals in a half.The second half rolled around, and maybe you thought the two
teams would find some chill? Marco Reus scored two second-half goals to
complete his hat-trick, Felix Passlack got himself on the scoresheet, and
Legia's Michał Kucharczyk and Nemanja Nicolic both did their best to make it
respectable for the visitors.
The match ended 8-4, breaking Monaco and Deportivo's
record set when they played out a wild 8-3 match in 2003. That's the highest
goal total in the Champions League era, and the most goals scored in European
Cup/Champions League since Feyenoord beat KR Reykjavik 12–2 in the first round
in 1969–70. Not a bad day if you like goals.
