Borussia Dortmund 0-0 Sporting CP (3-0 agg): Goalless draw sees BVB ease through

Serhou Guirassy, who is leading the Champions League scoring charts, missed a second-half penalty spot for BVB, but Niko Kovac's side had little trouble in securing a 3-0 aggregate victory.

Indeed, Sporting had just one shot on target and created chances worth just 0.34 expected goals throughout.

Guirassy's miss came just before the hour, after Karim Adeyemi had been felled by Sporting goalkeeper Rui Silva.

However, Silva atoned with a fine save, one of five stops he made on the night.

Emre Can also had a goal disallowed for Dortmund, who will take on Aston Villa or Lille in the last 16.

Guirassy became the first Dortmund player to fail to score a penalty in the Champions League since Marco Reus against Barcelona in September 2019. The Guinean had scored each of his previous five penalties in the competition.

Dortmund, though, hardly had to break sweat against a Sporting side without attacking talisman Viktor Gyokeres.

BVB have now reached the last 16 of the Champions League for a third straight season, having finished as runners-up to Real Madrid last term.
