Bayern Women fight back to deny Real Madrid in Champions League thriller
Story updated
The story in brief
8-second readBayern Munich Women recovered from a two-goal deficit against Real Madrid, with Edna Imade and Momoko Tanikawa earning a draw before a late push for a winner fell short.
From the source
Bayern Munich had to work their way out of trouble before they could make a game of it. Two goals down inside 22 minutes, they looked vulnerable against a Real Madrid side that punished their slow start.
But Edna Imade and Momoko Tanikawa brought Bayern back, and the hosts finished a breathless night wondering how they had not found a winner. The 2–2 draw at Sportpark Unterhaching kept Bayern unbeaten in their first three UEFA Women’s Champions League league-phase matches.
It also extended their unbeaten home record in the competition’s group and league phases to 17 games. Yet, given how much control they eventually established, this felt like a point gained and two dropped.
