DORTMUND, Germany -- Borussia Dortmund completed a dramatic comeback Tuesday by scoring twice in stoppage time to defeat Malaga 3-2 and advance to the Champions League semifinals for the first time in 15 years. Trailing 2-1 as three minutes of added time began, Dortmund equalized through Marco Reus but Malaga still held the advantage on the away goals rule. That all changed, however, when Felipe Santana scored from what looked to be an offside position following a goal-mouth scramble in the last minute of play, setting off scenes of delirium among the local players, coaches and crowd. "I think I need to see a doctor. It feels like weve won the trophy," Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp said. "My assistants and me were looking at each other in shock in the dressing room and saying, This is crazy. This is the best Ive ever felt. "The great games live in the memories because they are close. Ill never forget this game. Now its in my memory. And thats good." Dortmund defender Neven Subotic was almost lost for words. "I just cant really believe it," he said. "This is the craziest moment in all of my footballing career." Malaga owner Abdullah Bin Nasser Al-Thani reacted angrily on Twitter, blaming his teams elimination on "racism." The Qatari investor wrote that "this is not football, but racism and clear of all," and that he hopes "a thorough investigation" is held by UEFA regarding the Spanish clubs exit. Malaga coach Manuel Pellegrini didnt echo his boss claims of racism, but the normally cool and collected Chilean was scathing about the referee. "After we went up 2-1, there was no refereeing," Pellegrini said. "They pushed us into our area with shoves and elbows. They had two players who should have been sent off, and two offside violations during the third goal that shouldnt have counted. We are leaving with a very bitter feeling." Following a 0-0 draw in the first leg of the quarterfinals, Malaga led through Joaquin in the 25th minute with its first shot on goal. The Spaniard cut inside a defender and hit a left-footed shot through Subotics legs and inside the corner of the net. Robert Lewandowski pulled one back in the 40th but Dortmund still needed another goal to progress. Instead, Malaga substitute Eliseu thought he had decided it in the 82nd with another goal that looked offside, only for Dortmund to complete its remarkable turnaround. The German side, which surrendered its Bundesliga title to Bayern Munich on Saturday, remains the only unbeaten side left in the competition. Dortmund last reached the semifinals in 1998, the year after it won the title. Under Pellegrini, Malaga was trying to become the first team to reach the semifinals in its first Champions League campaign since Villarreal in 2006, also coached by Pellegrini. "Were still trying to come to terms with what happened," Malaga forward Roque Santa Cruz said. "We were four minutes away from the semis. There is huge disappointment in the dressing room. We had the tie in our hands." Dortmund created numerous half-chances but failed to really threaten, with the impressive Martin Demichelis using all his experience to marshal the visitors back line. "Today we played our worst Champions League game to date. Thats what you have to say," Klopp said. The equalizer when it came was sublime. Mario Goetze dinked the ball over for Reus first-time back-heel into the path of Lewandowski, and the Poland striker lifted the ball over the outrushing goalkeeper before slotting under pressure to the empty net. Joaquin might have scored another before halftime but headed straight at goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller from a promising position. Willy made two outstanding in the final 15 minutes, first to deny Reus from point blank, when the rebound flew just wide of the post, and then to foil Goetze when it seemed the Germany international had to score. TV replays appeared to show Eliseu in front of Baptista when the Brazilian fired past Weidenfeller, but the goal stood after the Malaga substitute knocked in the goal-bound shot. It looked like too little too late when Santana set up Reus to equalize, only for the Brazilian defender to follow up in fairytale fashion. "If you look at the two games you have to say we deserved to progress. We needed luck, but we dont have the feeling that we dont deserve it," Klopp said. "You have to win games too on rainy days. Today it really lashed down on us. You need luck to win. Thats part of it."

Sporting, formerly known as the Kansas City Wizards, re-branded to coincide with the opening of its soccer-specific stadium, Livestrong Sporting Park this year. I think we feel anxious to get things going, Sporting K.C. president Robb Heineman told his clubs website. It is a landmark year for us with lots of different attributes that we are going to need to introduce and lots of different things that we are going to have to pull off well, whether its on the field or off. Just anxious and want to make sure that we deliver a real high quality experience for people. The Wizards will not only be officially unveiling designated player signing Omar Bravo, but facing former defensive stalwart Jimmy Conrad, who is now a part of Chivas USA. The funny thing is I really want [Kansas City] to do well, Conrad told The Kansas City Star. I think the city and the fans would really glom to its success. Obviously, anyone likes to join a front-runner. But I think the team hasnt done as well as it should have the last four, five years, and I think its time, especially with the new stadium and all that good stuff.dddddddddddd I know Im still kind of pushing the K.C. agenda here, but it would really be a big deal for the city to have success. However, not at the hands of my new team, Chivas USA. As long as my new team can do its business against Kansas City, they can go on and do whatever they want with their season, and we can get on our way and hopefully meet down the line when the games mean more in the playoffs. Chivas USA coach Robin Fraser will also be making his MLS debut. He is the third rookie head coach to debut with Chivas USA, joining Preki in 2007 and Martin Vasquez last year. Both teams return strong a solid nucleus from a year ago, including their leading goal scorers, but since neither team made the playoffs in 2010, they will need some help in 2011. Kei Kamara led K.C. with 10 goals last year, while Chivas USAs Justin Braun scored nine. Chivas USA will be without midfielder Paulo Nagamura because of a calf strain, while midfielder Mike Lahoud is doubtful and midfielder Simon Elliott is questionable, both with knee knocks. Sporting will be without midfielder Ryan Smith and defender Korede Aiyegbusi, while defender Michael Harrington and forward Teal Bunbury are questionable and defender C.J. Sapong is probable, all with various injuries.
