Bayern score an own goal to hand the away goal advantage to Zenit.

Bayern Munich  have been favourites for the title for most of this tournament and were hot favourites for the win tonight. The home side began the stronger of the two sides but didn’t offer much threat in front of goal. Fernando Ricksen took out Ze Roberto in the 19th minute awarding Bayern a penalty. Frank Ribery stepped up to take the kick but the poor strike was blocked out by Zenit keeper Viatcheslav Malafeev. The Frenchman did not stop there finished the rebounded ball.

Bayern continued to look strong and held on to their one goal lead until half time. In the second half Bayern were stunned early on when Lucio put the ball passed Oliver Kahn into his own net. Zenit never really looked like pushing for the win in this game but the take the tie back to Russia with the away goal advantage.
