Lazio v Bayern Munich LIVE: Champions League result as Immobile wins it for hosts after Upamecano red card
Lazio 1-0 Bayern Munich: Ciro Immobile penalty sees Italian upset Bayern as Dayot Upamecano sent off
Ciro Immobile scored a 69th-minute penalty to earn hosts Lazio a 1-0 victory over 10-man Bayern Munich in their Champions League round of 16 first-leg clash.
Immobile converted his spot-kick after Bayern defender Dayot Upamecano’s clumsy challenge on Gustav Isaksen for which the France international was sent off with a straight red card.
Disciplined Lazio stifled the German side’s attacks and Bayern were toothless throughout, failing to get a single effort on target in the match.
Bayern, who were desperate to bounce back from Saturday’s defeat by Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen, have now lost their last two matches, piling more pressure on coach Thomas Tuchel. The return leg in Munich is on March 5.
Relive all the action from the last-16 clash below:
PSG v Real Sociedad update
It’s now 2-0 to PSG against Real Sociedad as Bradley Barcola adds a second after Mbappe’s opener.
Lazio 1-0 Bayern Munich
77 mins: Bayern still coming forward looking for an equaliser. Musiala clips a cross-field ball to Mazraoui at the back post but he can’t quite keep it in as he tries to hook a cross to an unmarked Kane in the centre of the area.
WATCH: Immobile slams home penalty
Here’s how Ciro Immobile gave Lazio the lead from the spot.
Lazio 1-0 Bayern Munich
73 mins: Wow - this whole tie has turned in that moment. Can Lazio grab a second goal while Bayern are at a man disadvantage? Kimmich was also yellow-carded for his protestation after that penalty.
Bayern come forward and Musiala wins a corner as his shot is blocked wide but it comes to nothing.
A double Lazio sub as Pedro and Taty Castellanos come on for Isaksen and Immobile.
GOAL! Lazio 1-0 Bayern Munich (Ciro Immobile 69’)
And Ciro Immobile makes no mistake from the spot. He scored his 200th Serie A goal at the weekend and bangs this penalty into the right corner, sending Neuer the wrong way.
Bayern down to 10 men and now 1-0 down. The crowd going wild at the Stadio Olimpico!
PENALTY AND RED CARD! Lazio 0-0 Bayern Munich
68 mins: Anderson sprints forward and Lazio have a three on two on the counter. He should go right to Isaksen but instead goes left to Immobile.
Immobile somehow barrels through about three players, gets into the box and it falls to Isaksen again. His shot deflects wide but IT’S A PENALTY! Upamecano lunges in on Isaksen and is deemed to foul him.
It’s also a RED CARD for Upamecano! Wow! What drama
Lazio 0-0 Bayern Munich
65 mins: Neat work by Bayern as Kane receives the ball to feet and then they find space down the right. A couple of neat touches in the box and Mazraoui looks like he’ll get a shot away at goal but just fouls the defender on the stretch.
Better from Bayern though.
PSG v Real Sociedad update
There’s one other last-16 tie happening this evening and Kylian Mbappe (who else!) has just given PSG a 1-0 lead over Real Sociedad approaching the hour mark.
That game is taking place in Paris, so PSG would like a second goal before they head to San Sebastian for the second leg.
Lazio 0-0 Bayern Munich
60 mins: Lazio left-back Elseid Hysaj has gone down injured after a knee-to-knee collision with Muller and gets some magic spray applied but sill looks in discomfort.
He’s subbed off and on comes Manuel Lazzari.
Lazio 0-0 Bayern Munich
59 mins: Ball lofted into the right channel where Muller chases it down, a looped cross into the box and Kane rises but his header is harmlessly over the top. The England skipper had to generate all the power himself there. Half-chance at best.
