Borussia Dortmund teenager Erling Haaland scored twice in eight minutes to lead his team to a 2-1 victory over Paris St Germain in their Champions League Round of 16 first leg on Tuesday.

The Norwegian 19-year-old, who has already netted eight times in five Bundesliga matches, stabbed in from close range after a quickfire passing move in the 69th minute and then thundered in an unstoppable shot for his second in the 77th, two minutes after Neymar had levelled for the French champions.

Haaland has now scored 10 Champions League goals in seven games this season -- eight for Salzburg in the group stage.

PSG, who were eliminated at this stage of the competition in the previous three seasons, had fit-again Neymar and Kylian Mbappe back in the starting lineup but were almost completely shut out by an extremely efficient Dortmund backline.

Neymar, who had been out for weeks with a rib injury, hit the post late on. The return leg is in Paris on March 11.

Prediction

Both sides are capable of creativity and calamity and any outcome is possible. PSG go into the Champions League knockout stages with a more balanced midfield than before, and a lot will rest on Idrissa Gueye’s defensive work. Dortmund have looked very vulnerable in defence in recent games and PSG are likely to exploit any weakness.

Marquinhos brings down Guerreiro who falls to the ground dramatically.

Schmelzer is on for Sancho to add a bit of defensive solidity for Lucien Favre's side as we're now in added time.

[18 February 2020 21:48 · Lawrence Ostlere]

Verratti is bemused by a bit of Dortmund paraphernalia near the centre circle when in possession.

[18 February 2020 21:49 · Lawrence Ostlere]

Marquinhos goes for a dramatic finish with the clock running down - it goes out for a corner.

[18 February 2020 21:49 · Lawrence Ostlere]

The corner is headed just over Burki's bar!

Borussia Dortmund 2-1 PSG. A well-deserved win for Dortmund, propelled by their extraordinary teenage stars Sancho, Haaland and Reyna. A despondent PSG applaud their travelling fans. Tuchel's side always carried a threat because of the calibre of player in their team, but in truth it was a disjointed and underwhelming performance by them - even if it did see a vital away goal. In the end Dortmund's relentless energy proved too much to handle.

Those that criticised Tuchel's tactics and personnel before kick-off will be feeling more than a little smug right now. Surely it won't be yet another last-16 exit for PSG? We'll have to wait until March 11 to find out.

Elsewhere Atletico overcame holders Liverpool 1-0, to make it two surprise home wins tonight. The Champions League is well and truly back!
