Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain saved the excitement for the latter half of their Champions League round of 16 first leg. Recently acquired Erling Haaland was the hero for Dortmund as the German side beat PSG 2-1 at home Tuesday. All three goals -- two by Haaland and one from PSG superstar Neymar -- came in a nine-minute span in the second half.
Haaland, the 19-year-old Norwegian sensation, opened the scoring in the 69th minute after poaching a deflected shot from a teammate and converting into a goal.
Take a look:
The shot also made history. Haaland became the first player ever to score a goal for two different teams in the same Champions League season. Of course, it helps that this is the first year that a player arriving during the winter transfer period was allowed to participate in Champions League matches for their new team. Haaland scored eight goals during Champions League group play this season for his former club, Red Bull Salzburg.
Another bit of history from Dortmund came with subbing on Gio Reyna, who became the youngest American to play in the European competition.
PSG did not stay down for long, however. Poor defending from Dortmund allowed the star duo of Kylian Mbappe and Neymar pick up an equalizer shortly after Haaland's goal.
Neymar's equalizer didn't faze Halaand and Dortmund. A powerful charge towards goal resulted in yet another goal for Haaland, this time from a powerful blast outside of the box for one of the best strikes of the UCL season.
The closest PSG came to a late equalizer was an attempt from Neymar in injury time, but the French side couldn't capitalize. These two teams will meet again on March 11 with a spot in the quarterfinals on the line.
