Fiorentina will have to make a double effort on the second leg game at the Artemio Franchi Stadium.  It could be an unfair result when the winner goal for Bayern arrives in the 90th minute and Klose being clearly offside from about 2 meters. Yet, Referee Ovrebo validates the goal and protests are in vain. Sky Sports showing also the offside from Klose. Previously, Fiorentina ending with 10 men after the referee sends off Massimo Gobbi in the 73rd minute with a direct red card, maybe exaggerated. 


Point is that at the end of the match Fiorentina president Della Valle angered with Referee Ovrebo saying that he should chose another profession after the clear errors.  Fiorentina losing in a bad way. The ideal now will be to defeat Bayern in the second leg without conceding goals and with super goals.  Ah... just a caution word not to bring Referee Ovrebo again in other games .. oops..
 

Here is the official formation from BAYERN MUNICH by coach L. Van Gaal:

Bayern Munich (4-4-2):Jorg Butt, Martin Demichelis, Daniel van Buyten, Holger Badstuder, Philipp Lahm, Mark Van Bommel, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Franck Ribery, Arjen Robeen, Thomas Muller, Mario Gomez.


Here is the official formation from FIORENTINA by coach Cesare Prandelli:

FIORENTINA (4-2-3-1): Sebastien Frey, Per Kroldrup, Cesare Natali, Massimo Gobbi, Lorenzo De Silvestri, Mario Bolatti, Riccardo Montolivo, Alberto Gilardino, Stevan Jovetic, Juan Vargas, and Marco Marchionni.

Opening the score is Bayern Munich in the very last minute of the first half. Yep!  In the 45th minute, Referee Ovrebo gives a penalty to Bayern Munich after Fiorentina defender Per Kroldrup commits a foul on Franck Ribery bringing him down inside the area.  Worst thing that could have happened at the end of the first half.  Taking the penalty spot is Arjen Robben converting the penalty with a left footed shot blasting Fiorentina goalkeeper Sebastien Frey in the right lower corner.
Bayern Munich 1 - 0 Fiorentina


First half ends 60% ball possession Bayern and 40% ball possession Fiorentina.

Talking about redemption and the perfect opportunity for Fiorentina defender Per Kroldrup!  You go it!  Kroldrup redeeming himself after conceding a penalty when Robben coverted.  Kroldrup must have prayed really hard during the half time because just 5 minutes from the second half   time."  In the 50th minute, Kroldrup gets an assist from Stevan Jovetic following a corner conceded by Diego Contento for a foul on Marco Marchionni. Jovetic shoots towards the left hand side where Kroldrup with  an inspired right footed shot bam bam bam blasts Bayern Munich goalkeeper in the lower left corner.
Bayern Munich 1 - 1 Fiorentina

In the 73rd minute, a tragic decision and maybe exaggerated for an involuntary arm from Fiorentina Massimo Gobbi. Despite protesting, the referee not giving in. Whle running  Gobbi extending his arm bringing down Robben with maybe exaggerating a fall????  It was not like Gobbi was looking  purposely to hit him while running with his arm.

A blow for Fiorentina in the 90th minute when Bayern Munich forward Miroslav Klose delivers the winning goal.A controversial goal judged a clear offside from Klose. First it was the long range shot from Robben and Fiorentina goalkeeper Frey saves but in the rebound Olic  give it a try and then finding Klose clearly outside heads the ball from close range to score the final blow in the lower left corner.   Klose did what a forward is supposed to do "score,"  but this time it was a clear offside. Controversy will be for Referee Ovrebo and this controversial goal either offside or not. and this is the end of the game. Replay showing again the offside and even commentators in Fox Soccer Channel saying the same.. hello..
Bayern Munich 2 - 1 Fiorentina

Judge for yourselves guys... clicke the video ...  it was a clear OFFSIDE..... Fiorentina players immediately protested and you can see how Referee Tom Henning Ovrebo tries to consult with the linesman.  Making matters worst is when Ovrebo far from ruling out the goal gives a yellow card to Fiorentina midfielder Juan Manuel Vargas for peacefully protesting when asking the linesman not even yelling or making a tantrum... wonder if we can give a red card to Ovrebo???  YOU BET!
