Dinamo Zagreb Vs Borussia Dortmund, UEFA Champions League 2024-25: Jamie Gittens Shines In Win Against The Blues

Jamie Gittens continued his strong Champions League performance, helping Borussia Dortmund defeat Dinamo Zagreb. The 20-year-old Englishman scored a stunning goal from the edge of the area just before half-time, moving Dortmund back into the round of 16 qualification spots. Gittens has now scored four goals in five Champions League matches this season. Ramy Bensebaini added a second goal with a header shortly after the break, followed by Serhou Guirassy’s late strike. This loss was Zagreb's second to a German team this season, having been previously beaten 9-2 by Bayern Munich. Dortmund dominated the game, with Donyell Malen missing two chances before Gittens' goal. With this defeat, Zagreb has lost their last eight matches against Bundesliga teams, conceding 28 goals in total.
