UCL: Dortmund down PSG in semis first-leg

Niclas Füllkrug fired in a first-half goal to push Borussia Dortmund to a 1-0 victory over visitors Paris St Germain in their Champions League semifinal first leg on Wednesday.

Nico Schlotterbeck floated a pass into Füllkrug's 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.

PSG 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.

With 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 1 June.
