Leo's attention was already on the Dortmund half before the whistle had fully faded, reading where the ball was being worked, and he began moving forward in small adjusting steps, keeping level with Max Power, who had pushed out slightly ahead of him.

They moved the ball across their back line with the comfort of a side that was ahead and knew it, and their crowd did too.

After staying in that limbo for a while, Nmecha very briefly received and held the ball before he laid it to Sabitzer.
