Bayern edge out CSKA inside empty stadium

Thomas Mueller converted a penalty as Bayern Munich completed a narrow 1-0 win over CSKA Moscow at a deserted Arena Khimki.But the German champions needed a contentious penalty to pocket the three points after Mario Goetze seemed to be fouled outside of the box by Mario Fernandes before landing inside the box.Scottish referee Willie Collum was quick to point to the spot as Mueller kept his composure to drive the ball down the centre on 22 minutes despite slipping as Igor Akinfeev dived to his right.The match was played behind closed doors after UEFA closed down the ground due to racist chanting at the ground by CSKA fans last year.The home side fought gamely, but never really tested the Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer with Roman Eremenko seeing a shot come off the bar and fly over in their best passage of play in the first period..(uk.eurosport.yahoo.com)Bakudaily.Az
