Vincent Kompany’s Bavarians discomfited Benfica 1-0 to clinch all crucial three (3) points of the encounter, thanks to a goal from Jamal Musiala in the 67th minute.
According to a statement from Bayern Munich:
FC Bayern in mourning: Death overshadows 1-0 win against Benfica.
In the Champions League league phase match against Benfica, FC Bayern’s 1-0 victory was overshadowed by a sad event. A medical emergency in the stands of the Allianz Arena cast a shadow over the game right from the start. Out of consideration, the Südkurve refrained from its usual vociferous support for their team, and the club also reduced its coverage of the match.
Around an hour after the final whistle, the German record champions received the sad news that the fan had died on the way to hospital. FC Bayern is in mourning side by side with the fan’s relatives.
