Bayern survive late pressure to snatch win at Celtic

Bayern Munich scored either side of halftime through Michael Olise and Harry Kane but had to endure late pressure from hosts Celtic before securing a 2-1 victory in their Champions League playoff first leg on Wednesday.

Olise’s stunning shot in the 45th minute put the German side in front and Kane doubled the lead with a 49th-minute volley at the far post.

Celtic cut the deficit in the 79th minute thanks to Daizen Maeda’s close-range header to inject late drama into the match.

Bayern defended well as Celtic poured forward and needed a fine save from keeper Manuel Neuer in stoppage time to hold on to victory ahead of Tuesday’s return leg in Munich to decide a place in the round of 16.
