Quick Report: Bayern Munich 2-1 Fiorentina

(GSM) – Bayern Munich beat Fiorentina 2-1 in the first leg of the Champions League Round of Sixteen. The winning goal came from Miroslav Klose in the dying minutes.

The equaliser came five minutes after the interval however, as Per Kroldrup converted a Marco Marchionni corner at the far post, 1-1.

Fiorentina went a man down in the 73rd minute when Massimo Gobbi fouled Robben with a direct red card as result.

Just when the match seemed to be heading for a draw, Bayern’s Miroslav Klose scored the winning goal, heading on an Ivica Olic rebound after Robben had his shot blocked by keeper Frey.
