Bayern Munich defeated Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 during Champions League action on Tuesday despite playing with 10 men for most of the match at Parc des Princes. Colombian forward Luis Diaz scored twice in the opening half-hour before receiving a red card for a dangerous tackle on Achraf Hakimi. The 28-year-old struck first after four minutes when he converted a rebound following Michael Olise's blocked attempt. His second goal came at the 33-minute mark after dispossessing Marquinhos near the penalty area. Referee Maurizio Mariani initially showed Diaz a yellow card for his foul against Hakimi but upgraded the punishment to a sending-off after video review.
The hosts controlled possession throughout the second period and pulled within one goal when Joao Neves found the net with 16 minutes remaining. PSG manager Luis Enrique acknowledged his team received favorable gifts from their opponents during the first 45 minutes. Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer made key stops against Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Vitinha to preserve the advantage.
The German club maintained its perfect record through four group stage matches and sits atop the 36-team standings alongside Arsenal based on superior goal differential. PSG will next face Tottenham Hotspur, who defeated FC Copenhagen 4-0.
