The equaliser came in the second half (77th min) with Bayern fully deserving it given their domination. France international Franck Ribery's a long-range free-kick deflected off Rooney past a helpless United' keeper van der Sar. Then, in the second minute of injury time, van der Sar was beaten again as Olic weaved his way through the Man United defence and slotted home the winner.
In the night's other quarter-final, Lyon beat Bordeaux 3-1. Lisandro Lopez scored a brace while Michel Bastos added the third. Marouane Chamakh scored for Bordeax.
