Bayern returns against Sporting

Bayern Munich scored three goals within 12 minutes in the second half, coming back from a one-goal deficit and defeating its Portuguese guest, Sporting Lisbon, 3 - 1 in the Champions League on Tuesday, and remaining on track to finish the league stage in the first eight places.Goals from Serge Gnabry, rookie Lennart Karl and Jonathan Tah between the 65th and 77th minutes gave the German First Division leaders a wonderful comeback, after Sporting took a surprising lead thanks to Joshua Kimmich's own goal nine minutes after the start of the second half.Bayern, who suffered their first defeat of the season in all competitions when they lost to Arsenal in the last round of the Champions League two weeks ago, raised their score to 15 points in second place with two matches remaining in the league stage. Sporting dropped to ninth place with ten points.The top eight teams qualify directly to the knockout stage, and the next 16 teams play a playoff round for eight more places.
