Bayern in control, beat Sevilla 2-1 away from home

Bayern Munich hold the advantage in their Champions League quarter-final tie with Sevilla after coming from behind to secure a 2-1 victory in the first leg in Seville on Tuesday.

Pablo Sarabia put the hosts in front in the 32nd minute but their lead was short-lived as Jesus Navas diverted Franck Ribery’s cross into his own net (37), Sky Sports reports.

After the break Bayern took control of the match and they were rewarded when Thiago Alcantara’s header (68) found the back of the net after a deflection off Sergio Escudero.

Sevilla, who caused the Bundesliga leaders plenty of problems all evening, eventually ran out of steam as Bayern held on to take a lead back to the Allianz Arena for the second leg.

The Champions League quarter-final second leg between the two sides is at Allianz Arena on Wednesday, April 11 (7.45pm).
