"Bayern Munich is no stranger to putting up a fight even with a man disadvantage. And that is how the Bavarians played in its Bundesliga match on Saturday at Bayer Leverkusen following a straight red to Chelsea loanee Nicolas Jackson late in the first half - scoring first a disallowed goal before Luis Díaz finally buried an equalizer in the 69th minute."
"Then with under ten minutes to go, Díaz broke free in the box and was met by a challenge from on-rushing goalkeeper Janis Blaswich. Díaz went down, and there was little hesitation before the ref produced a second yellow card, this one for diving - sending the Colombian winger off and infuriating the Bayern side."
"The Bavarians will be happy just to get out of this scrap with a point and move on, while Leverkusen should have burgeoning confidence heading into the second leg of its Champions League Round of 16 tilt vs. Arsenal."
