Bayern into Champions League quarter-finals after 7-1 win
In the early morning of March 9 (Hanoi time), Bayern crushed Salzburg at home to enter the quarter-finals of the European Cup with a total score of 8-2 after 2 matches.
Bayern were just waiting for the whistle to start the attack. Robert Lewandowski's cleverness helped him score 2 goals, both from the 11m mark in the 12th and 21st minutes. Maximilian Wober became the culprit for Salzburg with 2 inexperienced tackles on the home team's striker.
After conceding two goals, Salzburg continued to attack. The Austrian football representative quickly collapsed after a sharp counter-attack from Manuel Neuer's position in the 23rd minute. Lewandowski received the ball from Thomas Muller and hit the post. However, he still managed to get down to score the rebound into an empty net to increase the score to 3-0 for the Bundesliga defending champion.
The white-shirted defenders were helpless against Kingsley Coman's speedy attacks on the left flank. In the 31st minute, the French international opened the ball to the opposite wing for Serge Gnabry to decisively shoot past goalkeeper Philipp Kohn, thereby entering the break with a 4-goal advantage.

The break did not dampen Bayern's excitement. The Allianz Stadium team continued to cause nightmares for the Salzburg defense by raising the score to 5-0 in the 54th minute. After a pass from Leroy Sane, Muller turned and shot without giving the goalkeeper a chance to block.
When Bayern slowed down, Salzburg had a chance to get the ball over the halfway line. In the 70th minute, the away team had their first significant chance. The 2003-born player Maurits Kjaergaard took advantage to shoot past Neuer, reducing the score to 1-5. This is also what the Austrian representative did at the Allianz Stadium.
After scoring a hat-trick, Lewandowski also assisted Sane to score. The Polish striker has contributed to 15 goals (12 goals, 3 assists) after 8 appearances in the Champions League this season, a record no other player can reach. The Polish striker leads the scoring list in both the Champions League and Bundesliga (28 goals).

For the first time since 2014, Russia failed to qualify for the World Cup. |
Accordingly, the Russian team has run out of chances to participate in the World Cup in Qatar later this year. On March 4, the Russian Football Union (RFU) said that they have filed a lawsuit to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against the penalties from FIFA and UEFA.
At the 2018 World Cup, the Russian team played quite impressively. The "Bears" reached the quarter-finals for the first time in 48 years and only lost 3-4 to Croatia on penalties.
In addition, FIFA also announced the postponement of the match between Scotland and Ukraine in Group A to June. This decision was based on the request of the Ukrainian Football Federation players.
The remaining match of bracket A, Wales vs Austria, will still take place as scheduled on March 24.
