Champions League 2022: Kingsley Coman nets late equalizer to help Bayern Munich hold RB Salzburg 1-1

By Aman Shukla

Bayern Munich midfielder Kingsley Coman struck in the 90th minute to grab a 1-1 draw at Salzburg in Wednesday’s Champions League last-16 first leg.

Salzburg took the lead midway through the first half with a goal on the counterattack from Chukwubuike Adamu. Adamu, 20, had come on in the 12th minute in the wake of beginning striker Noah Okafor went off injured.

In any case, Frenchman Coman, who struck winning the goal for Bayern in the 2020 Champions League final, guaranteed the six-times victors left with a draw when he showed up at the far post to meet a Thomas Mueller header and tuck the ball into the net from close range.

“We didn’t do quite enough in the first half, we weren’t focused enough, we didn’t win the second balls and that allowed Salzburg to have dangerous opportunities on the counter,” he said. “We controlled the game better in the second half and applied more pressure and got the draw in the end which for me is a good result,” added Kimmich.
