Bayern on the brink of taming the Lyon

LYON against Bayern is a semi-final clash no one expected, and so far it has lived down to expectations.

Arjen Robben’s deflected shot has given the German club an advantage that should have been greater on the balance of play. Lyon seemed intent on survival in Munich, leaving Lisandro Lopez on his own up front to hunt for scraps, even during the period when they had an extra man.

An away goal would surely put Bayern through to their first final since 2001, when they beat Valencia.
