Dortmund didn't score, but their opening attack was incredibly threatening, sending a cold sweat down the spines of everyone on the Liverpool side.
Riding the momentum of that opening attack, Dortmund once again began to suppress Liverpool.
The state of the match seemed to revert to the first half, with the Bumblebees completely dominating.
Of course, Liverpool wasn't completely helpless, but they still found it difficult to penetrate Dortmund's penalty area, let alone get a shot off.
One particular play perfectly illustrated Liverpool's predicament.
It happened in the 61st minute.
Götze's shot from the edge of the box was blocked by Mascherano's body.
Gerrard quickly launched a counter-attack, passing the ball to Benayoun.
Benayoun sprinted forward with the ball.
But Sven Bender tracked him all the way back, catching up to Benayoun just before his team's 30-meter area and putting him under pressure.
