Lyon started the game brilliantly against Bayern Munich and could have take the lead, but Toko Ekambi hit the post after a great move. At the other end, Serge Gnabry scored and Bayern hit the front.

The first 15 minutes of the Champions League semi-final between Lyon and Bayern Munich were all Lyon. 

Garcia's men had the best chances to go in front. First, Depay could not score when he was one on one, but the Toko Ekambi had the clearest opportunity. 

The Cameroonian striker did brilliantly to get into the box and then cut inside. Davies blocked his first effort, but the ball went straight back to Ekambi

After going past the defender, he tried to beat Neuer at his near post. His effort ended up striking the post and Bayern were let off.

Less than 60 seconds later, Serge Gnabry scored at the other end. He controlled the ball on the right flank and ran inside into the area leaving three opponents in the process.

The German hit a powerful shot from the edge of the D to the far post and Lopes in goal was well beaten. Lyon missed plenty of chances and they were made to pay for it.
