Benfica stunned Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League round of 16 as the hosts won 1-0 in the first leg at the Estadio da Luz on Tuesday.

Konstantinos Mitroglou struck for Benfica shortly after the restart for the second half, with the Eagles scoring against the run of play.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had an awful night in front of goal for BVB, missing several great chances and capping his night off with a missed penalty in the second half—leading to his immediate and acrimonious substitution.

The visitors dominated for large periods of the game but could not find the back of the net as they became more desperate with every passing attack.
