By Chimezie Nebolisa

Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior scored a double, including an 83rd-minute equalising penalty, to snatch a 2-2 draw at Bayern Munich in Tuesday's Champions League semifinal first leg.

Vinicius gave Real the lead after 24 minutes but Bayern scored twice in four second-half minutes to wrestle control of the match, Leroy Sane with a stunning opener and Harry Kane converting a penalty.

Kim Min-jae judo tackled Rodrygo in the box with eight minutes remaining and Vinicius stepped up, drowning out a chorous of boos and whistles to blast home.

"In this competition it's important not to lose, and we're here because we haven't lost yet," said Vinicius. "I'm very happy that I was able score two goals, and now we need to have a magical night at home," he added.

The draw puts Madrid in the driving seat ahead of next week's return leg at the Santiago Bernabeu.
