Late show sends Bayern through

Thu 10 Apr, 11:00 PM


Bayern Munich produced a dramatic late comeback to draw 3-3 at 10-man Getafe to advance to the UEFA Cup semi-finals on away goals.Getafe, who had Ruben de la Red sent-off after just six minutes, appeared to be heading towards the last four in both normal time and extra-time.

But Franck Ribery equalised with a minute to go to send the tie into extra-time and Luca Toni then scored twice in the final five minutes after Getafe had gone 3-1 in front.

A virtuoso performance by Adrian Mutu inspired Fiorentina to a 2-0 win over PSV Eindhoven and into the semi-finals.

Mutu struck at either side of half-time, his opener a stuning 30-yard strike, as the Italians dominated at the Philips Stadion to earn a 3-1 aggregate success and book a meeting with Rangers in the last four.

Zenit St Petersburg progressed to the semis despite a 1-0 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen in the second leg of their tie on Thursday.

Dmitri Bulykin made the most of a rare start to score the only goal of the game but it was nowhere near enough to overturn Zenit's 4-1 advantage from the first leg.

Zenit face Bayern Munich in the other semif-final tie.
