Bayern only minimally threatened the goal defended by Rulli in the 22nd minute, when Kimmich caught the leftover of a cross in the area, dominated in the chest and finished on the left of the goal. The Germans managed to stay on the ball for a long time, worked on the offensive field, but had a hard time creating attacking plays.
Until, in the 40th minute, Villarreal’s second goal came out, but it was disallowed by VAR! Coquelin received a pass in the back of the defense and risked the cross. In a moment of inattention by Neuer, the ball ended up going straight to the goal and covering the German goalkeeper.
