Bayern Munich took on Real Madrid at the Allianz stadium in what was the first leg of the semi final round of matches.

In the opening stages, it was all Bayern as the Bavarians sought an early lead to gain the advantage in the tie.

Harry Kane fed Sane twice in the box, but the German winger failed to convert, one attempt sailing over the bar while Lunin denied another with a foot save.

Later, Kane’s ambitious long-range shot missed the target by a considerable distance with Lunin out of position

Well organized and patient, Madrid got the lead after Vinicius dragged Kim min Jae out of position, to latch onto a threaded through ball in space from Toni Kroos and hitting a side footed finish past veteran, Manuel Neur in goal.

Kane had another attempt through a setpice, but his sent his shot wide of the goal, as Madrid went into the break halftime winners.

Eager to produce a response in front of their fans, Bayern came out raring to go, in the same fashion as they started the first half dominating their opponents in all aspects of the game.

The equalizer finally came, as Sane made a darting run on the wing to hit a ferocious shot, which beat Lunin at his near post post to restore parity in the game.

Musiala, a constant threat on the wing throughout the game, made a mazy run which caused Vazquez to trip him in the box, as the referee pointed to the spot for a Bayern penalty. Kane stepped up and sent Lunin the wrong way for Bayern’s second of the game and his 43rd goal of the season.

Madrid got the equalizer through Vinicius, who just like Kane, sent Neur the wrong way from a penalty after Rodrygo was brought down in the box by Kim min Jae.

2-2 the scoreline ended, as both sides meet at the Bernabeau next week for a place in the Final scheduled for Wembley.
