Bayern Munich turned the match with a quick-fire late double to beat Manchester United 2-1 at home on Wednesday and reach the women’s Champions League semi-finals, winning 5-3 on aggregate.
Melvine Malard’s early goal had the match on track for extra time and United on course to become the first English side to win in Munich.
After peppering the United goal since Malard’s opener, Bayern broke through in emphatic fashion when Glodis Viggosdottir and Linda Dallmann both scored inside the final 10 minutes.
The result ended United’s hopes of a first Champions League semi-final appearance and put Bayern on track for a likely meeting with title favourites Barcelona.
Bayern’s 3-2 win at Old Trafford, headlined by a double for childhood United fan Pernille Harder, gave the German side the advantage before the second leg.
But with 11 minutes gone, Malard made the most of a Bayern defensive mix-up to give United the lead on the night and level up the tie.
Jayde Riviere launched a ball up-field and Bayern ‘keeper Ena Mahmutovic failed to clear, allowing Malard to nab the ball and roll it into an empty net.
