Bayern Munich 2–1 Aston Villa
Goals: 1-0 Minjae (37'), 2-0 Díaz (73'), 2-1 Gomes (83')
Vincent Kompany's men dominated the first half, pinning Aston Villa back into their own half and causing problems down either flank thanks to the youthful exuberance of both Maycon Cardozo and Tim Binder. They could have had a healthier lead going into the break than their slender one-goal advantage, but were nevertheless the better side in the first 45 minutes.
In the second half, Aston Villa made things more difficult, enjoying more possession and making Bayern work defensively. Luis Díaz's brilliant individual goal gave Bayern some breathing space, before a late wave of pressure from Aston Villa ended with João Gomes bending a superb strike past Manuel Neuer with just minutes to spare. Bayern held on, however, and return to Germany with another win under their belt.
