How Bayern Munich vs Arsenal unfolded
Eze strikes after Saka injury
Arsenal lost Bukayo Saka early when he had to leave the pitch injured. Eze came on in the 10th minute and made an immediate impact, giving Arsenal the lead in the 25th after a move involving Martin Ødegaard. Bayern responded ten minutes later when Kane played in Alphonso Davies, who finished past David Raya to make it 1–1 at half-time.
Kane puts Bayern ahead from the spot
Bayern went in front in the 61st minute after Jurriën Timber was penalised for handball while blocking a Kane attempt. The England striker converted the resulting penalty, completing Bayern’s turnaround and leaving Arsenal needing a response.
Rice scores the late equaliser
Arsenal kept pushing and found the equaliser in the 82nd minute. Rice combined with Viktor Gyökeres and drove a low finish into the far corner beyond Manuel Neuer. It was the decisive action that turned a potential Bayern victory into a point for each side.
