UCL: Borussia scores three times to defeat Dinamo Zagreb
Borussia Dortmund pulled up to the Champions League leaders after an easy away win over Dinamo Zagreb.
Dortmund had to struggle with Dinamo's "parked bus", but Nuri Shahin's team scored their goals.
Bynoe-Gittens put Borussia ahead before the break, sending the ball into the far corner of the goal, and at the start of the second half the Germans doubled their advantage - Bensebaini after a corner kick broke away from the defenders and headed the ball into the net.
Zagreb did not create a single truly dangerous moment until the final whistle, while Dortmund played according to the scoreline and did not rush forward.
As a result, the last goal was scored in the 90th minute after a defensive error by the hosts. Seru Girassi broke away from the Croatian defence and shot past the goalkeeper - three points for Borussia, three goals for Zagreb.
