Sportstar’s classics: Federer’s heartbreak to Ashwin heroics

The Hindu  

The coronavirus pandemic has forced cancellations and postponements of most big-ticket sports tournaments. Following a rare failure in a run-chase for captain M. S. Dhoni, R. Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja played two defining knocks to help India level the scores off the last ball. Henrikh Mkhitaryan converted a rebound off Simon Mignolet to cancel out Liverpool’s away goal and four minutes later Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang connected with a Marco Reus throughball to put Dortmund 2-0 up on the night, 3-1 ahead on aggregate. Divock Origi, signed from Lille the previous summer, halved Dortmund’s lead with a close-range finish three minutes after resumption. Dortmund failed to deal with a corner delivered by the Brazilian and Mamadou Sakho directed his header past Roman Weidenfeller to level the score for Liverpool, now behind only on away goals with 13 minutes left.
