UEFA Champions League: Lazio vs Dortmund

Lazio pulled off a memorable win over Dortmund by a score line of 3-1. This was also their first champions league group stage win in over 13 years. Ciro Immobile scored for Lazio to continue his red hot form. Dortmund did manage to get a goal back through Erling Haaland but it wasn’t enough as they slipped to a tame defeat.

Ciro Immobile started the scoring for Lazio in the 6th minute through a pass from Joaquin. In addition, Lazio scored another in the 23rd minute through Felipe from a corner which touched a defender on the way through and was counted as an own goal.
