Watch: Oblak denies Muller's penalty, gets Gimenez off the hook

Jose Gimenez owes his goalkeeper. Big time.

The young Atletico Madrid defender, who deflected a Xabi Alonso free-kick into his own goal in the opening half of Tuesday's semi-final contest against Bayern Munich, followed that up by conceding a needless, absurd penalty when he hauled Javi Martinez down inside the area.

Thomas Muller, usually so reliable, stepped up to the spot, and was promptly turned aside by standout shot-stopper Jan Oblak.

The diving denial kept the two teams knotted at one apiece on aggregate.
