Six-time winners Bayern Munich needed a late Kingsley Coman equaliser to avoid a shock last-16 first-leg defeat at an impressive Red Bull Salzburg.<\/p>\n
Winger Coman ghosted in at the far post in the 90th minute and converted following Thomas Muller\u2019s flick.<\/p>\n
Salzburg substitute Chukwubuike Adamu had netted the opener with a delightful curling finish into the corner.<\/p>\n
The hosts could have nicked a second at 1-0, but Karim Adeyemi\u2019s shot was saved and Adamu\u2019s follow-up was blocked.<\/p>\n
The vibrant home side were appearing in the knockout stage of the Champions League for the first time, but did not look out of place against an often flat Bayern side.<\/p>\n
The Bundesliga champions suffered a stunning 4-2 home loss against Bochum at the weekend and avoided back-to-back defeats for the first time since 2019.<\/p>\n
Julian Nagelsmann\u2019s side cruised through the group stage by winning all six games, but found it difficult to deal with the youthfulness and pace of their opponents.<\/p>\n
Salzburg, fielding the youngest average starting side in the Champions League since Ajax in 2003, took the lead on 21 minutes through Adamu\u2019s lovely effort.<\/p>\n
Brenden Aaronson cut onto his left and forced a smart save from Sven Ulreich, while Germany international Adeyemi\u2019s effort was straight at the Bayern understudy keeper.<\/p>\n
Bayern improved in the second half and Leroy Sane was denied by Philipp Kohn\u2019s sharp save, before Frenchman Coman drew his side level late on.<\/p>\n
