Polish striker Robert Lewandowski lead Borussia Dortmind in blanking Olympique Marseille in the second round of the Champion's League group stage.
The opening goal came in the 18th minute as Dortmund launched a lightning counter attack. Marseille's Dmitri Payet free kick was blocked and the rebound went to Nuri Sahin. Shain lobbed the ball to Marco Reus on the left who passed it to Henrik Mkhitaryan at the center. Mkhitaryan passed it back to the left to Erik Durm who switched places with Reus. Marseille goalkeeper Steve Mandanda was lured in the exchange and went to the left, anticipating an attempt from that side. Durm, however passed it to the center which went past the defenses of Mathieu Valbuena and Nicolas N'koulou and into the streaking Robert Lewandowski who made a back heel tap into an empty net. Lewandowski even looked at the linesman to check for an offside flag but there was not and he preceded to celebrate.
Dortmund again scored in the 52nd minute when Marco Reus free kick bounced in front of Mandanda who committed a defensive lapse and allowed the ball to bounce into the net. The play showed defenders Marcel Schmelzer and Matts Hummels on the offside position. As the ball descends, not one of them however touched it. Mandanda, anticipating an offside violation was too late to react and his off balanced block was not enough as the ball instead went inside the net.
Marseille's off night was capped by a penalty shot of Robert Lewandowski on a foul by Nicolas N'koulou. Lewandowski faked it to left, but instead shot straight to the right, sending Mandanda in the wrong direction.
It was Marseille's second setback after it yield to Arsenal in the opening match. Dortmund on the other hand caught up with its tormentor, Napoli which earlier lost to Arsenal 3-1.
