Arturo Vidal and Thomas Muller seal Bayern Munich's progress

Vidal, who last week headed the only goal of the first leg, powerfully volleyed home from the edge of the area 11 first-half minutes after Raul Jimenez bravely nodded the tie level.

Seven minutes after the break Muller steered in a nod-down from a corner, giving the 2013 Champions League winners a second away goal which proved far too much for manager Rui Vitoria’s side to claw back. Substitute Anderson Talisca’s free-kick gave the hosts hope, but it was too little too late as the game finished 2-2.
