LOSC Lille and Nigerian striker, Chuba Akpom, featured as his side were knocked out of the UEFA Champions League against Borussia Dortmund tonight, Soccernet.ng<\/a> reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n The French Ligue 1 side held a slender advantage heading into the second leg after securing a 1-1 away draw at the Signal Iduna Park last week.<\/p>\n Akpom didn\u2019t feature at all in the first leg in Germany and started the game at home on the bench as Bruno Genesio\u2019s side hoped to qualify for the quarter final of Europe\u2019s biggest club competitions.<\/p>\n Lille took the lead at home inside five minutes. Jonathan David flicked on a brilliant cross from Brazilian full-back, Ismaily. The ball went between the legs of Dortmund\u2019s highly-rated goalkeeper, Gregor Kobel, who knows he should\u2019ve done better.<\/p>\n \u26bd\ufe0f GOAL: Jonathan David \u2014 Goals Xtra (@GoalsXtra) March 12, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The four-time French Champions continued to threaten on the night but couldn\u2019t add to their tally. After the restart, Borussia Dortmund grew into the game.<\/p>\n Nico Kovac\u2019s side levelled the scores nine minutes after the second half after Thomas Meunier fouled Sehrou Guirassy, which led to a spot kick. Emre Can stepped up for Die Schwarzgelben<\/em> and sent Lille goalkeeper, Lucas Chevalier, the wrong way.<\/p>\n GOAL!<\/p>\n Emre Can blasts the ball down the middle and it\u2019s all square!#beINUCL<\/a> #LOSCBVB<\/a> #UCL<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/awzNX6PNGx<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 beIN SPORTS (@beINSPORTS_EN) March 12, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Dortmund took the lead nine minutes after levelling the scores.
