Borussia Dortmund beat Legia Warsaw in a pulsating 8-4 victory on Tuesday that broke the record for goals scored in a Champions League match.
The record was set in injury time when Marco Reus, who had earlier scored twice, unleashed a shot that was deflected into the net by Legia captain Jakub Rzezniczak. The 12 goals were one more than the total when Monaco beat Deportivo La Coruna 8-3 on Nov. 5, 2003.
Shinji Kagawa scored twice for Dortmund, while Aleksandar Prijovic also got two for Legia. In the two matches against the Polish side, Dortmund scored a total of 14 goals, having won the first leg 6-0. The scoring bonanza included a four-minute spell in the first half with three Dortmund goals, two of them from Kagawa. Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur crashed out of the Champions League as Monaco qualified from Group E with a 2-1 win at the Stade Louis II.
