A
solo effort from Saul Ñíguez Esclapez in the 11th minute was enough to
give Atletico Madrid a 1:0 lead in the first leg semifinal match against
Bayern Munich on Wednesday night.
The
midfielder went on a probing run, beating three Bayern players before
curling a remarkable finish off the far post to beat Manuel Neuer.
Bayern
had more possession but couldn’t find a way through the very compact
Atletico defence with their goalkeeper; Oblak also on song all night.
The
visitors nearly drew level in the 54th minute when David Alaba picked
up the ball 30 yards out before releasing a strike that has Oblak beaten
but rattled off the underside of the bar.
However,
the hosts almost doubled their lead against the run of play when
Fernando got into the area, stepped inside his marker before rattling a
strike off the inside of the post.
