A rare mistake from Manuel Neuer led to jubilation in the stands as Benfica grabbed a first-half lead on Bayern Munich to level the aggregate score.
Eliseu's cross into the box was completely misread by Neuer, as the German 'keeper found himself miles off of making contact with the ball before Raul Jimenez fired his header into an open net.
The mistake, however, was canceled out moments later when Arturo Vidal's effort from the top of the box bulged the back of the net to bring the match level and restore Bayern's aggregate lead.
