Atletico Madrid has moved closer to returning to the Champions League semifinals with a 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of the quarterfinals. Atletico took a first-half lead with goals by Rodrigo De Paul and Samuel Lino and outplayed Dortmund during most of the match.

Atletico hasn’t made it to the last four since 2017, when it lost to city rival Real Madrid. The Spanish club has won three of its last six quarterfinals. Atletico needed only four minutes to open the scoring at the Metropolitano Stadium, with De Paul taking advantage of a mistake by the Dortmund defense to steal possession and find the net from inside the area.
Dortmund improved a bit in the second half and dominated ball possession, but it struggled to create many scoring opportunities against Atletico’s solid defensive system. Dortmund hit the crossbar with a long-range shot by Jamie Bynoe-Gittens in the 87th and a header by Julian Brandt deep into stoppage time.
