PSG lead Bayern 5-3 late in Champions League semifinal first leg

Paris Saint-Germain lead Bayern Munich 5-3 late in the Champions League semifinal first leg at Parc des Princes after a wild second half added to an already chaotic start.

At half time, PSG were 3-2 ahead after Ousmane Dembélé scored a stoppage-time penalty to restore the home side’s lead. Live coverage from The Guardian later updated the score to 5-3 after PSG added two more goals after the break.

The match has now become a high-scoring semifinal thriller. Reuters photos and Guardian live text indicated PSG’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Dembélé were among the scorers after halftime as the Paris side stretched the lead.

UEFA and both clubs had confirmed the fixture earlier on Tuesday, and the game had already delivered a frantic first half before the scoreline moved further in PSG’s favor. Bayern coach Vincent Kompany is suspended and watching from the stands.

The second leg in Munich now looks even more daunting for Bayern if the score holds. PSG have the momentum, but the tie is still live until the final whistle.
