\u00a0Borussia\u00a0Dortmund\u2018s Niclas Fuellkrug fired in a first-half goal to seal a 1-0 victory over visitors Paris St Germain in a\u00a0compelling\u00a0Champions League semi-final first leg on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Nico Schlotterbeck floated a pass into Fuellkrug\u2019s path and the Germany forward controlled the ball with a perfect first touch before drilling a low shot past keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma in the 36th minute.
\nPSG, fresh from being crowned Ligue 1 champions and desperate to win their first ever Champions League trophy, found it hard going against a disciplined German defence, especially in the first half with forward Kylian Mbappe largely neutralised.
\nWith the return leg in Paris next Tuesday, the winners of the tie will face either Bayern Munich or Real Madrid, who drew 2-2 in their first leg in Germany, in the final at Wembley on June 1.
\n\u201cIt was a well-deserved win, a good team performance,\u201d said\u00a0Dortmund\u00a0coach Edin Terzic. \u201cWe could have scored more goals, but so could they.\u201d
\n\u201cThat\u2019s why the result is OK from my point of view. We ran a lot, but that\u2019s necessary in a game like this.\u201d
\n\u201cYou have to earn your way to Wembley. All we need now is a draw in the second leg, but we also want to win next week.\u201d
\nThe win also confirmed Germany will get a fifth qualifying spot for next season\u2019s Champions League, with\u00a0Dortmund\u00a0being the main beneficiaries at the moment, sitting in fifth place in the Bundesliga with three games left to play.
\nDortmund\u00a0went close just before halftime with Marcel Sabitzer but his shot was blocked by Donnaruma.\u00a0The French side improved after the break and went agonisingly close to an equaliser in the 52nd\u00a0minute with\u00a0Mbappe curling a shot onto the far post and then Achraf Hakimi also hitting the woodwork on the rebound.
\nFour minutes later Fabian Ruiz saw his stooping header sail wide after being left completely unmarked in the box before\u00a0Dortmund\u00a0keeper Gregor Kobel kept out Ousmane Dembele\u2019s close range effort in the 71st.
\nDortmund, winners in 1997 and looking to reach their first final since 2013, soaked up the pressure as PSG\u2019s Vitinha narrowly missed the target 10 minutes later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
