GOAL! Aston Villa 1-0 Bayern Munich (79th Duran)

He did it again! It's a stunning finish from the substitute who can't stop scoring. The ball comes from Pau Torres in defense and Durán tries to run in behind Upamecano. The central defender is standing next to him, but Durán notices that Neuer is – as stated – outside his line. From around 25 meters away, Durán skilfully uses the jump to throw the ball over the goalkeeper's head and into the net.
