FC Bayern’s 1-0 win over Benfica in the league phase of the Champions League on Wednesday night was overshadowed by sad news as a medical emergency in the crowd at the Allianz Arena clouded the game from the start. Out of respect, the Südkurve refrained from their usual vocal support of the team, and the club also reduced its coverage of the match.

Around an hour after the game ended, the club received the sad news that the fan had passed away en route to the hospital. FC Bayern is in mourning alongside their relatives.

Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala headed home in the second half to give the hosts a 1-0 victory over Benfica in the Champions League on Wednesday as it bounced back from two consecutive defeats. 

Germany midfielder Musiala scored with a bullet header from close range in the 67th minute. Bayern was dominating and missed several chances before breaking the deadlock.

The result lifted the Germans to six points from four matches and into 17th place, with Benfica, which was toothless in attack, also on six in 19th place.
