In the Champions League on Wednesday night, Bayern Munich prevailed over Manchester United in a seven-goal thriller to grab the lead in Group A.
A error by Andre Onana in the first half allowed Leroy Sane to score, and Serge Gnabry doubled Bayern’s advantage. Early in the second, Rasmus Hojlund scored his first goal for United, but Harry Kane’s fifth goal for Bayern appeared to have secured the outcome in the home team’s favor.
When he scored a close-range goal to make it 3-2 late on, Casemiro appeared to have ignited a comeback, but Bayern’s replacement Mathys Tel quickly restored Bayern’s two-goal lead. Then, very late in the game, Casemiro scored once more to bring the score back to 4-3, which may have flattered United, but there was no more time.
