Bayern conceded first but confidently turned the game around to beat Sporting Lisbon 3-1 in the sixth round of the Champions League main round. Vincent Kompany’s side are back to winning ways after their defeat at Arsenal.

The Portuguese opened the scoring in the 54th minute — Kimmich unsuccessfully cut the ball into his own goal, but the Munich team quickly recovered: Gnabry leveled the situation with a header, and in four minutes, 19-year-old Lennart Karl put the hosts ahead, scoring another goal in the Champions League.

In the 77th minute, Ta finished off the opponent after a cross from Gnabry and secured the victory. Bayern confidently controlled the game, created more chances and logically took the three points.
