Mozambican footballer Geny Catamo's Sporting de Portugal suffered a 3-0 defeat against Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 play-off.

In a match in which Catamo was absent due to a right ankle injury, the Lions dominated the first half, with Maxi Araújo shooting against the post and Harder testing the German goalkeeper, but to no avail, according to "Noticias".

The two sides went into the break level on points.

In the second half, Dortmund came out with a new look, keeping control of the game and arriving with more danger in the final third.

The pressure exerted by the Germans resulted in three goals, scored by Guirassy (60'), Pascal Grob (68') and Adeyemi (82'), putting the tie to rest.

Next Wednesday, the team from Alvalade will travel to Germany to try to overturn a 3-0 deficit and secure a place in the knockout stages of the millionaire's league.
