Borussia Dortmund vs. PSG score, Champions League highlights: Haaland makes history as German side gets edge

The 19-year-old Norwegian scored twice for his new team in the round of 16 matchup

Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain saved the excitement for the latter half of their Champions League round of 16 first leg. Recently acquired Erling Haaland was the hero for Dortmund as the German side beat PSG 2-1 at home Tuesday. All three goals -- two by Haaland and one from PSG superstar Neymar -- came in a nine-minute span in the second half.

Haaland, the 19-year-old Norwegian sensation, opened the scoring in the 69th minute after poaching a deflected shot from a teammate and converting into a goal.

Take a look:

The shot also made history. Haaland became the first player ever to score a goal for two different teams in the same Champions League season. Of course, it helps that this is the first year that a player arriving during the winter transfer period was allowed to participate in Champions League matches for their new team. Haaland scored eight goals during Champions League group play this season for his former club, Red Bull Salzburg.

Another bit of history from Dortmund came with subbing on Gio Reyna, who became the youngest American to play in the European competition.

PSG did not stay down for long, however. Poor defending from Dortmund allowed the star duo of Kylian Mbappe and Neymar pick up an equalizer shortly after Haaland's goal.

Neymar's equalizer didn't faze Halaand and Dortmund. A powerful charge towards goal resulted in yet another goal for Haaland, this time from a powerful blast outside of the box for one of the best strikes of the UCL season.

The closest PSG came to a late equalizer was an attempt from Neymar in injury time, but the French side couldn't capitalize. These two teams will meet again on March 11 with a spot in the quarterfinals on the line.

FINAL: Borussia Dortmund 2, Paris Saint-Germain 1

An incredible match that packed all of its action in a convenient span of 21 minutes. Neymar came close to an equalizer late in the second half, but Dortmund's lead held firm.
 

90' Dortmund injury and substitution

Sancho goes off with a slight limp. Marcel Schmeltzer replaces him.

 

89' Another PSG yellow

Verratti booked. This yellow for the Italian means he'll miss the second leg of the duel, along with Meunier.

 

87' PSG yellow card

Thomas Meunier booked for pulling down Reyna.

 

82' Neymar hits the post!

The Brazilian winger does well to break through Dortmund's shaky defending to get a shot only for it to rattle off the outside of the post.

 

78' Goal Dortmund! 2-1

It's Haaland again for the German side who, just moments after conceding, had not let the equalizer break them down. They're back on top with 12 minutes to go.
 

77' Substitution for PSG

Pablo Sarabia has comes in for Di Maria.

 

76' PSG equalize! 1-1

Who else but Neymar? Poor defending from Dortmund allows Mbappe to fire a low cross to the Brazilian winger, who finishes it off as cleanly as possible.
 

69' Goal Dortmund! Haaland pokes it in!

An excellent cross leads to a shot from Guerreiro. The ball deflects right onto the legs of the teenager, who scores. PSG appeal for offside but to no avail.
 

67' Dortmund substitution

Giovanni Reyna comes on, replacing Thorgan Hazard. This is Reyna's Champions League debut. He's 17 years old. What were you doing at that age?

 

66' PSG getting chances??

First, Mbappé shoots from an impossible angle and Burki grabs the second attempt. Mbappé then passes back-and-forth with Neymar and fires a shot on goal. The result is a great Burki save.

 

62' Kurzawa with a magnificent run that ends in a wet fart
 

59' Another PSG yellow

Neymar gets carded for a foul on Witsel. The two players went to ground for the ball and an errant elbow from the Brazilian made contact with his opponent's chin.

 

54' First PSG yellow

Gueye gets carded for tackling Witsel.

 

50' Dortmund pressure continues

Sancho delivers a pass across goal that could have been easily tapped in had any teammate been marginally closer. Moments later, Haaland ran towards goal following a steal. He tries to cut left but is ultimately crowded out.

 

49' Dortmund chance

The offensive momentum has carried over from the first half for the Germans. Hakimi flies past Kurzawa and into space on the right, but dribbles the ball too close to goal. Navas deflects the ball out of play.

 

46' We're back!

PSG starts with the ball.

 

HALF: Dortmund 0, PSG 0

A relatively uneventful first half given the scoring acumen of both sides. Sancho came the closest with his curling shot but that's pretty much it.

 

44' Dortmund yellow card

Witsel gets the first yellow of the day after shoving Di Maria to the ground. Moments later, the Parisians continue to burn any goodwill they might have had with the referee after Thiago Silva takes a light hand to the face and rolls on the ground in agony.
 

36' Dortmund chance!

Bad PSG giveaway to Can starts a break for the home side. Sancho enters the box, crosses it and it bounces off Haaland's outstretched head well wide. Can't help but wonder if the pass was intended for another teammate.
 

35' Dortmund shot

Haaland strikes a powerful shot to the near post on the left side, but it hits the side of the netting. There are shouts for a corner kick but Navas kicks it from goal.

 

27' Incredible PSG save!

Sancho curls one to the far post from the left side of the box, but Navas's outstretched arms knocks it away from its path.

 

25' Di Maria gets in on the action

A light tap from Can sends the Argentinian winger sprawling on the ground. The referee gives Can a firm talking to--for what, I have no clue--but does not produce any cards.

 

21' Penalty shout for Dortmund

Can falls after Verratti pokes the ball away from him in the box. The crowd wanted a call, but no call came.

 

19' Neymar doing Neymar things

We've got our first major roll-around of the match from the Brazilian winger.
 

14' Chance for Dortmund!

Haaland heads a PSG corner clear, giving the home side a chance to counter. Seconds later, with a five-on-three advatage, Sancho carries it to the edge of the box but then misses his shot wide. He had open teammates.

 

11' Neymar misses free kick

Neymar goes down well after a defender attempted a challenge. Nevertheless, the referee awards a free kick, but it curls wide of the near post.

 

6' Frantic energy from both sides

While not exactly the cleanest game so far, both PSG and Dortmund have shown desperate attacks in an attempt to try and strike first early. But each defense has held firm.

 

And we're off!

Dortmund starts off with the ball.

 

Tuchel returns to his former home

Tuchel knows the challenges Signal Iduna Park will present for his club, which has struggled in Europe despite having one of the wealthiest and most talented squads over the last handful of years. 
"It's always difficult to control your emotions, even more so here. I am not sure that it will be possible for 90 minutes. We will therefore need to play with intelligence and not get caught up in the emotion," Tuchel said in his pre-match press conference. "But for a few phases of the game, we will need to have the possibility to adapt and battle. It will be a match of a very high level, so we will need to be calm, attentive and intelligent."
