Mateo Kovacic found Marcelo with an excellent pass out of midfield and the Brazilian got the ball under control down the left wing.
He got his head up and curled over a peach of a cross to the back post.
Benzema had peeled away from his marker and was left with a free header that he directed goalwards with ease. Ulreich in goal could do nothing about it.
As far as the tie goes, the goal did little to change the complexion as Bayern still needed a second to get level.
