UCL: FC Zurich vs. Bayern Munich

So if you read my match blog about the Bayern vs. Zurich tie from last week, you know I had high hopes about this leg. I was hoping that back in front of their home support, Zurich would put up a fight.

Well, that didn't happen.

Bayern iced it early. Mario Gomez, who missed so many chances last week, iced it early on in this one. In the 7th minute, Bayern came up the field with a nice looking counter attack. Gomez got on the ball and calmly dispatched the Zurich 'keeper to make 0-1 and 0-3 on aggregate.

Seriously folks, that's all she wrote. After that, Bayern kicked the ball around a lot and Zurich looked positively frightened of the ball.

Needless to say, Bayern will advance to the Champions League group stage and Zurich will take their, um, "game" to the Europa League. Maybe there the competition won't dwarf them. Lame.
