Bayern woes mount with 1st-leg loss at Lazio

Football

Ciro Immobile scored a 69th-minute penalty to earn hosts Lazio a 1-0 victory over 10-man Bayern Munich on Wednesday 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.
