Joshua Kimmich of Bayern Munich scored a header in the 63rd minute to give the Germans a 1-0 victory against Arsenal on Wednesday in the Champions League. With a 3-2 aggregate victory, the Germans advanced to the semifinals for the first time in four years. After a 2-2 first-leg tie, Germany's international Kimmich timed his run into the box precisely to connect with a cross from Raphael Guerreiro and put Bayern, who had previously missed two double chances, in the lead.
The Bavarians, who have neither won the German Cup or the Bundesliga championship, are having their worst domestic season in almost ten years. They will next play Real Madrid or Manchester City in the round of 16. In a cautious first half, there wasn't much separating the two teams. Harry Kane, the striker for Bayern who had scored in the first leg, threatened initially with two efforts.
