. This is the first surprise in the knockout phase of an elite competition.
Bayern’s strange box. The goalkeeper’s great reflexes saved Salzburg
In the first half, the players of the Austrian champion enchanted their game, focusing on defense and quick counterattacks. It has been known for a long time that these are their strongest points. It was after Chikwubuike’s quick attack that Adamu scored the first goal of this match in the 21st minute.
For a long time it seemed that Bayern would not be able to break through Salzburg’s defenses. Around 60 minutes, however, the Bavarians took control of the course of the game and began to create 100% situations for themselves. One of them had a bizarre finale. In the 75th minute he made a counter, but Sane’s shot was saved by Koehn. After his defense, the ball was rolling a meter from the goal and Sane and Gnabry were already on their way, but somehow Koehn reached it first.
The fatal box, however, will not be remembered for long. Eventually, Bayern drew 1-1 with a goal in the 90th minute. This is a good result in the face of such a poor game in this match. In Wednesday’s second game, Liverpool won 2-0 with Inter.
The Bayern – Red Bull Salzburg rematch game will take place on Tuesday, March 8 at 21:00 at the Allianz Arena.
