Champions League: Haaland goal helps Man City secure draw at Bayern to advance into semis

Champions League: Erling Haaland`s second-half goal guided English club Manchester City into the next round, as Bayern Munich`s 1-1 draw (4-1 on aggregate) on home turf fell short in the second leg of the quarterfinal.

The Bavarians started with determination on Wednesday and came close in 17 minutes when Jamal Musiala found Leroy Sane, who narrowly missed the target with his left-footed effort from inside the box.

Sane remained a focal point as he tested City goalkeeper Ederson with a free kick five minutes later before Leon Goretzka squandered a promising opportunity from the edge of the box in the 24th minute, reports Xinhua.

Manchester City then had an unexpected chance to break the deadlock when Dayot Upamecano conceded a handball penalty at the half-hour mark. Haaland stepped up but fired the penalty over the target.
