Borussia Dortmund head coach Nuri Sahin was delighted with his side's 3-0 victory away to Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League on Wednesday.

The result was Dortmund's first away victory in seven matches in all competitions and left them fourth in the 36-team Champions League table, three points behind leaders Liverpool.

"To win away from home is something that feels great," Dortmund coach Nuri Sahin told a press conference.

"It is important for the table, for our morale. It was not an easy game but we let the ball roll and after the 1-0 we became even more dominant. Now we need to keep working."

Dortmund dominated the match against Dinamo, registering an xG of 1.75 compared to the hosts' 0.13, while they also had over 70% of the ball and 17 shots compared to five.

Sahin was pleased with the way his side managed to break down stubborn opposition, who sat deep during the game.

“We have played two really good matches now and we remained patient today against a very deep opponent. The players kept their positions, moved the ball well and deserved it," he said.

"Deep defence was not the big problem, rather it was related to the field. If we had been on good grass, we would have had more chances."

Dortmund have now won four of their last five matches in all competitions and will hope to take that form into their match against Bayern Munich on Saturday.

Sahin, though, did not want to shift focus too quickly from what was a pleasing night.

"I look forward to that game [against Bayern] but I want to enjoy the evening tonight with my boys and from Thursday the focus will be on Bayern," he said.
