Ryerson started on Dortmund’s left in the away game, and after the yellows had held off PSG’s star attack for one half, it took just a few seconds of the second half for the hosts to be awarded a penalty.
Niklas Süle handballed in his own 16-metre penalty, and Mbappé was safe and scored his 41st Champions League goal. The French super striker was in a conflict with his own club this summer, but it was resolved before the start of the season.
Later, Achraf Hakimi added to make it 2-0, so it is PSG who top the “group of death” after a goalless draw between Milan and Newcastle a few hours earlier.
Combination game
After a positional war in the 1st half, PSG completely took over after the break. First, Mbappé converted the penalty, before Hakimi ended a beautiful attack by putting the ball into the goal ten minutes later. The defender combined with Vitinha and came alone in front of the goal.
He made no mistake there.
The match was characterized by several hard duels, and it was clear that the Dortmund players became more and more frustrated as the half went on.
The PSG stars had several great chances to increase the lead, but the aim was not quite set when the opportunity presented itself. Ryerson played the entire game for the visitors.

Tonali back in Milan
Newcastle player Sandro Tonali (23) received a warm welcome in the Milan return earlier on Tuesday. It was Milan who came closest to scoring in the match and could feel the most cheated when the points were shared.
Before the match, the Milan supporters applauded when Tonali was shown on the big screen. He also received a standing ovation when he was replaced with about 20 minutes remaining.
Newcastle played their first Champions League match in 21 years on Tuesday. Milan reached the semi-finals this spring, where they lost to city rivals Inter.
Milan host Dortmund in the next match, while Newcastle will host PSG.
