Bayern Munich edge spirited Celtic in Champions League play-off round first leg

Harry Kane's volley proved decisive as Bayern Munich secured a 2-1 victory at Celtic Park in the first leg of their Champions League play-off tie.

However, Daizen Maeda's 79th-minute goal gave Celtic a glimmer of hope after they belatedly put the German side under pressure.

Bayern dominated the first half and Michael Olise's emphatic finish opened the scoring with virtually the last kick before the break.

Kane capitalised on some non-existent marking to double the lead early in the second half, but Maeda's close-range header gives the travelling Celtic fans at least a touch of optimism ahead of next Tuesday's second leg.

FULL MATCH DETAILS

The Hoops fans had far more than that inside 30 seconds of kick-off when former Bayern Munich second-team winger Nicolas Kuhn cut in from the right wing and fired home from 18 yards. But Republic of Ireland international Adam Idah was flagged offside after jumping over the incoming shot.
