Champions League

Salzburg rivals FC Bayern Munich celebrated a close 2-1 (1-0) win at Lokomotiv Moscow on Tuesday and led Group A after matchday two without losing points. Joshua Kimmich scored the winning goal for the German champions with a challenging volley in the 79th minute.

Leron Goretzka topped the defending CL champion in the 13th minute. But the hosts, who had the support of 7,000 spectators at the NZD-Arena, rewarded themselves for their stamina and a high level of running effort and fighting with the goal from the tie by Anton Mirantschuk (70th).

A week before the match with Salzburg, Bayern appeared strong on offense, but without emphasis, and defensively vulnerable. Already the first minutes brought a great opportunity for the hosts through Fjodor Smolow, who nevertheless went into the hands of Manuel Neuer (3rd). Bayern made it 1-0. Benjamin Pavard passed a long volley pass from Constantin Tolisso to the head of Goretzka, who passed Guilherme at the Lok gate from close range (13th).

Coman awards preliminary decision

After conceding the goal, the carefree introduction of the Muscovites ended. A close copy of the 1-0 ended with a post shot from Kingsley Coman (25). Time and time again, the Bavarians broke the defense of the locomotive with this pattern, but missed the easily possible preliminary decision.

In the 70th minute the Russians cheered, completing a counterattack against Brazilians Ze Luis and Mirantschuk, who entered the penalty area. Even ÖFB star David Alaba, who played central defense as usual, did not put his legs in the middle.

A foul penalty decision on Robert Lewandowski had previously been withdrawn by VAR for offside. Bayern even wavered afterwards, but then Kimmich proved himself again with a precise volley from the edge of the penalty area.

Inter again only a draw

Inter Milan, meanwhile, did not go beyond a draw with a 0-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk as favorites in the second game. Italians were the most dangerous team in Kiev, Donetsk goalkeeper Anatolij Trubin kept his team in the game against Romelu Lukaku (42nd / free throw at bat) and Co.

Inter had already yielded points in Group B in the 2-2 win against Mönchengladbach, Schachtar had caught Real poorly in the 3-2 away win in Madrid.
