Benfica vs. Bayern Munich: Score, Reaction from 2016 Champions League, Leg 2

Bayern Munich booked their spot in the 2015-16 UEFA Champions League semi-finals with a 2-2 draw at Benfica on Wednesday, taking the aggregate score of their quarter-final tie to 3-2 in favour of the Germans.

Raul Jimenez gave the visitors a slight scare with a shock goal in the first half, but Arturo Vidal restored ordered shortly after, scoring with a volley to hand Bayern the away-goal advantage. Benfica never threatened the Germans' spot in the semi-finals again, particularly after Thomas Muller gave Bayern the lead.

Anderson Talisca gave the home fans a glimmer of hope with a late goal, but a comeback never seemed likely.
