Victory in Munich
Emirates Stadium.
After Son Jinho's opener, Bayern Munich pushed aggressively for an equalizer.
The broadcast camera caught Jupp Heynckes with a stern expression, directing his players on the pitch.
A! And right as we speak! Toni Kroos shakes off Sebastian Kehl's pressure with a first touch and lofts the ball to Franck Ribéry!
Toni Kroos's pass reached Franck Ribéry. Ribéry controlled it neatly, feinted toward the center, then cut to the side.
Ribéry glanced up, scanning the penalty box, spotting Bayern Munich jerseys in his vision.
The ambidextrous Ribéry whipped in a cross with his left foot.
His sharp cross headed straight for the penalty area.
In the second half, Felipe Santana's focus had waned, and he momentarily lost track of Mario Gomez.
Mario Gomez calmly directed Ribéry's cross to the far post.
A situation similar to Lewandowski's shot in the first half.
"FC Bayern! Forever Number 1!"
Bayern Munich's home fans, sensing a goal, rose to their feet.
But Roman Weidenfeller, Dortmund's starting keeper with years of experience, proved his worth.
"Boooooooo─!"
"You fucking pig! Block that shit!"
Weidenfeller pulled off a save on Mario Gomez's header.
Wow… that was as good as a goal-line clearance.
Bayern Munich earned a corner kick.
[Felipe Santana clears it well this time!]
Felipe Santana, who had slipped up earlier, successfully cleared the ball this time.
Bayern's attack breaks down, and Dortmund launches a counter!
The crowd's eyes stayed glued to the pitch in this thrilling, fast-transitioning game.
After shaking Gustavo, Jinho lofted another through ball to Lewandowski.
A repeat of Dortmund's opener.
However, Neuer sprinted nearly to the halfway line to clear it.
Watching that, Korean soccer fans recalled a familiar scene.
The commentators chuckled, referencing a past mishap.
The two teams traded fierce blows, and time flew by until the final whistle loomed.
In the 89th minute, Jurgen Klopp subbed in two more defenders to run down the clock and lock it down.
Dortmund withstood Bayern's onslaught in stoppage time, securing victory away at Bayern Munich thanks to Son Jinho's winner.

After the Bayern match wrapped and Arsenal loomed, the group chat unleashed a joint assault on Hwang Geum-sun once more.
But Chairman Hwang Geum-sun took it all in stride.
Makes sense—it was Arsenal's home turf.
"lololol I'll throw that right back at you."
I messaged Chairman Hwang Geum-sun, pocketed my phone, and steeled myself.
Over the two days since Munich, Dortmund's players gritted their teeth, unwilling to end their Champions League run like this.
And we headed to London for the Arsenal clash.
For this Arsenal game, I resolved to channel trainer Kang Hyong-ok.
"Perisic! You're the one! Body slam!"
"…PeriPeri?"
Wow. He actually rolled with it.
