Chukwueze’s late goal helps Villarreal seize a semi-finals berth

In a surprising Champions League thriller, Villarreal has thumped Bayern Munich in the Quarterfinals match to book a berth for the semi-finals. In the first half, Villareal kept Bayern players at bay with a stubborn-looking defense.

Later in the second half, Lewandowski forced his way in to level the score on aggregate just seven minutes in. Coman intercepted the ball from Daniel Parejo then the ball found its way into Thomas Muller’s path who set up Lewandowski to score his 16th goal of the tournament. Later Bayern’s Dayot Upamecano and Thomas Muller wasted their chances of getting ahead. The momentum of the match changed when Chukwueze entered the field and four minutes later slammed the winner home that would take Villarreal to the semi-final stage for the first time in 16 years.
