The tournament favourites are crushed in the semi final. Zenit St Petersburg book their place at the City of Manchester Stadium.Bayern were expected to crush Zenit in their home fixture but the tournament favourites conceded a shock equaliser mid way through the 2nd half.  I don’t think anyone would have predicted the thumping they were about to receive in Russia. The scoring was opened on just 4 minutes when Pogrebnyak scored from a perfectly placed free kick.

From then on Bayern attacked hard but were unable to find the end result. Zenit went 2-0 in front just before half time with a goal from Zyrianov.

The second half was much of the same. On 53 minutes Viktor Fayzulin headed the ball in off the underside of the crossbar.

The final goal and final blow was delivered on 73 minutes by Pavel Pogrebnyak. A burst down the flanks from Zenit and Pogrebnyak put through on goal.

 Final score Zenit St Petersburg 4 Bayern Munich 0.
