Defensive Setback and Dortmund’s Exploitation
The second half took an unexpected turn for Milan when defender Malick Thiaw suffered a hamstring injury, leading to a defensive reshuffle.
Dortmund seized the opportunity, with Jamie Bynoe-Gittens restoring their lead through a well-placed shot.
The defensive woes continued for Milan, and substitute Karim Adeyemi sealed Dortmund’s victory with a quick strike from the edge of the area.
Late Attempts and Europa League Threat
Despite late attempts, including a header from Luka Jovic hitting the woodwork, Milan couldn’t overturn the deficit.
This defeat places Milan at the bottom of Group F, putting them at risk of dropping into the Europa League.
