How It Happened

  1. FT

    Full time: Bayern Munich 2-2 Arsenal. A gripping night in Munich ends level after Eze's early finish, assisted by Ødegaard, was cancelled out by Davies before Kane's penalty put the hosts in front. Rice's smart finish from Gyökeres' pass hauled Arsenal level with eight minutes left, and they pushed hard for a winner through Timber and Merino in the closing stages without finding one. Arsenal edge the shot and corner counts and finish with the greater share of possession, but it's a share of the spoils from a thrilling contest.

  2. Full time · 2-2
  3. 90+2'

    Arsenal have kept pushing for a winner after Rice's leveller, edging further ahead in shots and corners as the added-time minutes tick by. Timber almost completed a remarkable comeback, forcing Neuer into a sprawling save from range, while Bayern's late introductions haven't been able to stem the away side's momentum. It's finely poised deep into stoppage time at the Allianz Arena.

    Arsenal level it up in dramatic fashion! Rice drives in from the right side of the box, finishing through the middle after Gyökeres squares it to him - 2-2 at the Allianz Arena and the away end is bouncing with eight minutes left to find a winner.

    Arsenal have kept pressing for the leveller, with Calafiori seeing a shot blocked after Eze won a free-kick, but Díaz went close at the other end with a Davies cross that forced Raya into a good save. The game remains stretched with fouls creeping up from both sides - Bischof and Timber both pulled up for late challenges - and while Arsenal still lead the shot and corner counts, Bayern are matching them for urgency as the clock ticks down.

    Arsenal have reacted to going behind with a flurry of changes, throwing on Gyökeres and Lewis-Skelly as they chase an equaliser. Havertz went close with a blocked effort from close range before making way, while Bayern have also freshened things up with Díaz and Karl introduced. The numbers remain tight - Arsenal still just ahead on possession, shots and corners - but Bayern have had the better of the ball in behind, with Laimer firing wide on the break.

    Timber's clumsy handball gifts Bayern a penalty, and Kane makes no mistake from the spot to put the hosts back in front. A cruel turn for Arsenal after they'd started the second half the better side - now they'll need to find another response, as they did after Davies' equaliser.

    Both sides have found openings since the restart. Guimarães headed just wide of goal early on before Upamecano forced Raya into a smart save at the other end, and Eze then had a close-range effort kept out by Neuer after good work from Havertz. Arsenal still edge the shots and corners count, with Bayern's fouls tally stuck at nine to Arsenal's two, but neither keeper has been truly beaten since the break.

    Second half under way in Munich, with Bayern making an early change as Tah replaces Kim Min-Jae. The opening minutes have been fairly even, with Gnabry's blocked effort the only notable action, and the overall picture remains much as it was at the break - Arsenal still shading possession, shots and corners, with the scoreline locked at 1-1.

    Half-time round-up
    Bayern2-2Arsenal

    Half time in Munich and honours even after a frantic 45 minutes. Eze's superb finish, following his early introduction for the injured Saka, had Arsenal in front before Davies restored parity from Kane's through ball. Arsenal have shaded the possession, shots and corners count, and will be frustrated not to be ahead given how the half finished, with Bayern's frayed discipline leaving them with nine fouls and a Konsa yellow to match Havertz's.

    Arsenal have responded well to Davies' leveller and finished the half on top again, with Calafiori twice going close - first from a corner, then forcing a save from outside the box. The Gunners lead on shots, corners and possession, while Bayern's discipline has wobbled with nine fouls to Arsenal's one, adding Konsa's yellow to Havertz's earlier booking. It's been a tense, scrappy stretch but Arsenal head into added time looking the sharper side.

    Bayern level it almost immediately through Alphonso Davies, finishing off a Harry Kane through ball from the centre of the box. A real sucker-punch for Arsenal, who had been dominating, and it's now honours even at the Allianz Arena.

    What a moment for Eberechi Eze! The substitute, on for the injured Saka, has fired Arsenal in front in Munich, with the goal confirmed after a VAR check. The Gunners thoroughly deserve their lead on this evidence.

    Arsenal are continuing to boss things in Munich, holding onto 55% of the ball despite enduring an early scare with Saka forced off for Eze and Havertz picking up a needless yellow for a foul on Stanisic. The visitors ended the spell on top, winning a corner from which Calafiori headed... sorry, shot wide from close range - still goalless but Arsenal look the more threatening side.

    A quiet but controlled start for Arsenal in Munich. No shots at either end yet, but Arsenal have dominated the ball early on with 68% possession, forcing Bayern to do the chasing. The only bit of action was Guimarães winning a free kick after a foul from Pavlović, with Bayern yet to really get going.
