Bayern inches close to final
Bayern Munich took
a step towards reaching the final of the UEFA Champions League after
managing a 1-0 win in the first leg of their semi final against
Olympique Lyon on Wednesday night at the Allianz Arena. Arjen Robben
blasted home another spectacular strike to give the German side the
edge in a match that saw the two sides ending the tie with 10 men each.
Bayern’s Franck Ribery was given a straight red card in the first half
after he stamped on Lisandro Lopez while Lyon’s Toulalan followed in
the second half after he was booked twice. It was not the kind of
performance expected of the Bundesliga side as they spurned several
scoring opportunities against the French side, but they will be happy
to go into the second leg with an advantage.
