Atletico Madrid earned a 2-1 Champions League quarter-final first-leg victory over Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday, surviving a late onslaught from the visitors.

The only negative note from a fine Atletico first half was a booking Lino earned, ruling him out for the second leg.Mats Hummels, on his 500th appearance for Dortmund, badly directed a header into Alvaro Morata’s path and he and Antoine Griezmann combined to feed Lino, who slid a low effort past Kobel.

Kobel made a stunning save to deny Lino his second goal from point-blank range and Dortmund swiftly capitalised on it through substitute Haller.
