The attacking full-backs
For the best part of the first half, Borussia Dortmund really troubled the home side down the wings. This wasn't the surprising bit, but it was Achraf Hakimi and Raphael Guerreiro who were bombing forward while Sancho and Hazard provided support - a deliberate tactic from Dortmund to expose the advanced wing-backs of Frankfurt as they followed the wingers coming in deep.
Axel Witsel played a key role here as well in terms of quick distribution of the ball out to the space between the centre-backs and the wing-backs. He was able to find Hakimi, in particular constantly free and in space on the right-wing before Frankfurt eventually caught on and adapted to defend better int he situation.
As the game progressed, Dortmund reverted to type a bit more. However, they now have a good method to use against teams that try to mark Sancho and Hazard or Brandt out of the game in an attempt to stifle their wing play.
