In a dramatic Women's Champions League semi-final first leg, Bayern Munich's Franziska Kett was both the hero and the villain as the German side drew 1-1 with Barcelona. Kett scored a crucial equalizer but was later sent off with a straight red card, leaving Bayern to hold on for a draw.
The match, played at Bayern's home ground, saw Barcelona take the lead through a well-worked goal. However, Kett responded swiftly, slotting home the equalizer to bring Bayern level. Just when it seemed the momentum had shifted, Kett's challenge was deemed worthy of a straight red card, reducing Bayern to ten players.
Despite being a player down, Bayern defended resolutely to keep Barcelona at bay and secure a draw ahead of the second leg in Spain. The tie remains finely balanced, with everything to play for in the return fixture.
