The game restarted quickly after the goal celebration, and there was no let-up. Both teams went at each other like heavyweights trading punches. One attack followed another. Dortmund moved the ball with technical precision, zipping it through the lines with purpose. Liverpool responded in kind with quick passes, diagonal switches, bursts from Salah, relentless movement from the midfield.
And just like that, the momentum shifted back and forth like a pendulum.
Then came the 74th minute.
Dortmund launched a rapid counterattack down the right. A one-two between their winger and fullback left Liverpool's young stand-in left-back scrambling to recover. The winger hit the byline and whipped in a vicious, low cross that skimmed through the heart of the box.
Zachary tracked it with dread, watching it cut between Lovren and Gomez.
