Villarreal 1-0 Bayern Munich: Unexpected goal created an earthquake

The goal came very unexpectedly and created the first “earthquake” of the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Final score: Villarreal 1-0 Bayern Munich (HT: 1-0): Danjuma 8′

Bayern Munich has a trip to Villareal in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. Coach Nagelsmann put Sane and Goretzka on the bench and let Gnabry and Coman assist Lewandowski. Alphonso Davies made his first appearance in the squad after months of injury.

The two teams started fast with quick kicks. In the 8th minute, Villarreal hit the ball on the right-wing and Danjuma was suddenly in the right place to kick, causing goalkeeper Neuer to give up, bringing the goal to open the match.

Having an early goal, Unai Emery directed the students to create an uncomfortable game. Bayern Munich could not find a way into the opponent’s goal and the first 45 minutes passed very quickly. After the break, the away team played better and a dangerous opportunity was created. Unfortunately, the strikers of Bayern Munich proved quite ungrateful.

On the opposite side, Villarreal counter-attack is also extremely sharp. Gerard Moreno was the most notable player with a shot on an empty goal, but failed. Towards the end of the game, Bayern Munich pressed more and more.

However, on the day Lewandowski “disappeared”, the remaining players of the away team could not score. In the end, Villarreal created the first “seismic” of the quarter-finals when they had a one-goal advantage over Bayern Munich.
