Although Dortmund immediately launched a counterattack after conceding the goal, in fact, during this time, their players were not very clear in their minds, so they were not in good shape, and they were pressed back by Manchester United, whose morale was high.

However, after a few minutes of play, the Dortmund players finally came to their senses and their attack began to threaten.

In the 29th minute of the game, Dortmund organized an attack on the left side. After a few passes, they came to the right side of the penalty area of Manchester United.

Reus broke through with the ball, Herrera had no choice but to bring down Reus, and Dortmund won a free-kick.

The free-kick was in a better position than the one that United had just scored, because it was closer to the middle.

Borussia Dortmund's goalscorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang took the initiative to stand in front of the ball, and he was a little unhappy with Rashford's excellent performance, and as Dortmund's leading goalscorer, he decided to fight back.

Like Marcus Rashford, Aubameyang opted to kick the ball with a lift ball. However, his elevator ball level is still a little short of Rashford, who has already added the elevator ball to level 4. His free-kick couldn't quite get past the wall and was headed over by Marcus Rashford, who was lined up, before the ball went wide of the near post.

Borussia Dortmund continue to get corners. They opted for a tactical corner, but when they chose to hoist the ball into the United penalty area, it was the first time it was cleared by the United defenders.

However, United's counter-attack was not successful, and the two sides fought around the centre circle, and when Mata chose to pass the ball back in an attempt to divert the attack through the backline, the right-back made a big mistake when he slipped on the sole of his foot and failed to catch Mata's return pass.

Borussia Dortmund's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scrambled to get on the ball and break through to get closer to United's penalty area.

However, when he came to the position of the penalty area close to the bottom line and was about to cross, Smalling, who was marked, saw through the intention and broke the ball off the line.

Borussia Dortmund continue to get penalties.

This time, Borussia Dortmund brought on Mkhitaryan to serve a corner, and he chose to go forward and was first nodded away by a Manchester United defender.

However, Mkhitaryan's ball was a little low, and the United player could only clear the ball with a header, a little uncomfortable, and did not clear the ball too far, which was intercepted by the Dortmund player in the top right corner of the penalty area.

Borussia Dortmund again set up the attack, with Mkhitaryan's cross being met by United goalkeeper David De Gea.

………………

The game went into a stalemate, with the battle between the two sides more concentrated in the midfield area.

However, when the game entered the 35th minute, Dortmund had another chance to counter-attack.

Mkhitaryan drove the ball straight through four defenders in a row and drew the attention of United's defensive line to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who had been pulled down the right.

Aubameyang kicked the goal on the line of the penalty area, but De Gea was very focused, and Aubameyang's kick was too positive, and the power was also a little lacking, and De Gea easily saved.

De Gea didn't opt for a wide-footed opener, instead knocking the ball into Marcos Rojo on the left. Rojo then passes the ball to Anthony Martial. Anthony Martial got up and played the ball towards the top of the box and halfway through the centre circle before the opposition could press it.

Fellaini grabbed the ball and headed it back towards the back of the Dortmund defence.

At this point, Marcus Rashford's ghost came out between Borussia Dortmund's two centre-backs, Hummels and Sven Bender, and received the ball.

Still, Hummels and Sven Bender were quick, and they both pestered Rashford to keep him out of the net.

However, Rashford suddenly made a sudden stop, allowing Hummels and Sven Bender, who had rushed to catch up, to rush past him, and then stealthily pushed the ball with his right foot and hit the ball in the opposite direction.

Marcus Rashford's tricky shot, and with Weidenfeller being blocked by Hummels and Sven Bender, it was too late to react when he spotted the ball heading straight for goal.

The ball went past Weidenfeller, who was flying to save, and went straight into the corner.

Marcus Rashford scored twice as United took a 2-0 lead at Borussia Dortmund.

………………

The moment the ball flew into the Dortmund goal, the originally noisy Westfacuen Stadium fell into a dead silence for a short time. Hornets fans could never have imagined that their team would be down 0-2 at home.

Tuchel, who replaced Jurgen Klopp as Dortmund boss this season, has done well, Dortmund are 19 points clear of third place in the Bundesliga table, have already secured the top two six games in advance, and are only five points behind Pep Guardiola's Bayern Munich with six rounds remaining, still maintaining their hopes of winning the league title. In the Europa League, they started in the third round of qualifying and made it all the way to the quarter-finals, and are the favourites to win the Europa League this season.

But now when I met Manchester United, I fell behind 0:2 at home not long after half an hour, which made fans and players confused.

While a 2-0 lead away from home is a good result, the United players are clearly not going to rest on their laurels and want to score more goals on the road, and if they can just take the second leg out of suspense, they are confident they can do it.

When the game resumed, they continued to press consensus towards the Borussia Dortmund goal.

They scored two goals in a row, while the Dortmund players who conceded two goals in a row were demoralized and almost hit rock bottom.

It's a terrible experience to concede two goals in a row at home. There will even be some self-doubt, thinking that I have encountered an unstoppable opponent.

This kind of suspicion and panic are human nature, and few people can maintain their composure under such a blow, so there will be a "crash".

However, although the morale of Dortmund players is low, it is still very early to collapse. It's almost impossible to get them to collapse before the first half is over.

After the initial panic, the Dortmund players regrouped to defend effectively, withstood United's attack, and formed a certain level of counter-attack, creating a number of scoring opportunities.

In the 43rd minute of the game, Durm's shot was saved by De Gea.

In the 44th minute of the game, Mkhitaryan made a direct pass, and Blind fell to the ground before Aubameyang and shoveled the ball out of the bottom line.

However, in first-half stoppage time, Borussia Dortmund suffered another heavy blow. Manchester United tackled Dortmund at the back to form a quick counter-attack.

Juan Mata's through ball went straight through the Dortmund defence and Marcus Rashford was once again on the back of the net and stabbed home from the onrushing Weidenfeller.

Manchester United took a 3-0 lead in the last minute of the first half!
