The second half began with intensity. It was a Youth UEFA League match. Nobody was willing to lose, especially Dortmund, as they had the upper hand and were the favorites. It wouldn't be a good way for them to start the competition.
Dortmund tried to impose their pace from the first few minutes, but Felix was everywhere. He intercepted passes, tackled with surgical precision and still found time to guide his teammates. Lucas, alongside him, complemented the pressure with an impeccable reading of the game, while Denis dictated the pace when possession was regained.
In the 48th minute, Felix disarmed Dahoud once again, prompting the German midfielder to let out a frustrated cry. He quickly played the ball to Denis, who controlled the ball with an elegant touch and raised his head, looking for options.
