Africa : Chukwueze scores a reference goal against Bayern Munich as Villareal reaches CL Semis

Samuel Chukwueze’s goal two minutes from time sent Villarreal through to the Champions League semi-finals at the expense of Bayern Munich.

Villarreal’s stubborn defence kept Bayern almost chanceless in the first half but Robert Lewandowski levelled the tie on aggregate with his first chance seven minutes into the second half.

The Nigeria international has 23 goals in 148 games for the Yellow submarines but his goal on Tuesday night against the German giants will stand out from the rest.

Chukwueze and his friends failed to qualify his national team for the 2022 FIFA World Cup but reaching the Champions League semi-finals is a remarkable feat.
