Quick Report: Bayern Munich 2-1 Manchester United

(GSM) – Bayern Munich are a step closer to the semi finals of the Champions League after a 2-1 win over Manchester United in the quarter finals first leg. Ivica Olic scored the decider in added time.

Just a little over a minute had been played in Munich when Manchester United took the lead with Wayne Rooney converting a right-winged free kick from Nani.

In the remainder of the first half, it was mostly Bayern to attack but the Germans had difficulties getting past United’s defense. The Premiership outfit seemed dangerous on the break and forced Bayern to create more space in the back.

But it was Bayern to score the equaliser in the 77th minute. A free kick from Franck Ribery was significantly deflected by the wall and flew into the left corner of the goal with keeper Van der Sar only able to watch.

United almost restored their lead six minutes later when Nemanja Vidic headed onto the crossbar from a corner kick.

And Bayern could have decided the match in the first minute of added time when Mario Gomez forced Van der Sar to make a great save.

But that winning goal did come in the 92nd minute as Ivica Olic collected the ball in the penalty area, dribbled away from the defenders and found space to blast it past the keeper for 2-1.
