Nigeria’s Samuel Chukwueze scored to help Villarreal eliminate Bayern Munich out of the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports Villarreal secured a semi final spot in the Champions League in the process.
Villarreal entered the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final tie with a one goal advantage.
The Spanish side recorded a shock 1-0 win last week. Arnaut Danjuma’s strike was the difference during the first leg.
They maintained discipline to keep the German champions at bay in the second leg tie.
TNG reports it was Bayern Munich that was first to score in the second leg in the 52nd minute of play.
Lewandowski’s first shot of the night found the back of the net, punishing Parejo for a sloppy pass.
The Villarreal midfielder gave possession away, and that allowed Muller to pounce. The German international picked out Lewandowski, and the Pole did the rest, slotting the ball home via the far post.
With the goal, Lewandowski became the fifth player to score against 30 different Champions League teams as he joined Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Raul.
However, Villarreal replied in the 88th minute of play. Parejo’s quick thinking in the middle of the park was vital, as he played a crucial pass before Moreno was picked out.
The Villarreal striker looked across the pitch, and Chukwueze was waiting at the far post. The sub didn’t make a clean connection with the ball, but it was enough to beat Neuer.
Villarreal is now set to face either Benfica or Liverpool in the semi final.
