00:00Big time now. It's estimated here that more than half a million tickets could have been sold for
00:04this game. All 82,000 actually were more than a week ago. Most of the main stand was full just
00:10for training yesterday. A city here is living for its team. That team, and here's the key,
00:16is pretty well unchanging. For instance, 10 of these 11 faced Arsenal before Christmas.
00:21Centre-back Oleksandr Holovko missed Saturday's league game but is fit now.
00:25Andriy Shevchenko's three quarter-final goals against Real Madrid contribute to a startling personal record of eight in his last
00:33seven games.
00:35Ten of these 11 met Manchester United before Christmas. The exception is Mehmet Scholl who missed the whole group stage
00:40with an Achilles problem.
00:42Messrs Lizorazu and Albert are major injury absentees now. Michael Tarnak deputises for the Frenchman at left wing-back.
00:50Without the Brazilian, it's Karsten Janka and Bosnia's Hasan Salihamidzic up front.
00:55You're sure to recognise the referee. Out of the pocket of Kim Milton Nielsen came David Beckham's World Cup red
01:02card.
01:03In which both Dinamo and Bayern have achieved notable recent Champions League victories.
01:09And the Nou Camp Barcelona, May 26th, becomes their immediate target now. Neither in recent matches has had very much
01:16more than a nodding acquaintance with the concept of defeat.
01:20And perhaps as much as anything Ian St. John, that's what intrigues one about this. It's hard to imagine either
01:25losing.
01:25Well, both are terrific defences as we've seen throughout the campaign and I'm really looking forward to this one and
01:32just wondering, you know, who's going to unlock the door?
01:35Will it be the two front players of Dinamo Kiev who we've seen, you know, in the past doing some
01:40wonderful things with Shevko and Rebrov?
01:42Or will it be the big fellow up playing up from Janka? He's playing up there for Bayern. So it's
01:48going to be very interesting this one.
01:51Ilkiewicz. Oh, that's a peach of a ball. And Shevchenko's onto it. It's Andrei Shevchenko!
02:05The continent's hottest striking property. You'd be hard-pressed to make the counter case.
02:13I mean, it's just a cute combo there and from that angle where the goalkeeper's hand closing him down, how
02:18he just bent it around the outside of him in there and at the corner.
02:22I mean, that was real class again, isn't it? Wonderful goal.
02:26Nine times now, during Dinamo Kiev's Champions League campaign. Shevchenko has hit the net.
02:40Janka. Trevor Ball. Scholl onto it. It's Mehmet Scholl. And Mehmet Scholl deflection call.
02:49It's the...
02:52Salihamidzic.
02:54And another corner. Well, it was a right scramble here at the back post when the ball got headed in
03:01there by 2-4.
03:03It was obviously Shevchenko that was on the line there and sort of mis-kicked it and then it was
03:07hacked away by Kosovsky.
03:09Shevchenko looking for a second goal of the night and nearly got one.
03:13Tarnak with the corner. Janka there is the target.
03:29Tarnak to deliver.
03:30Tarnak to deliver. Schovkovsky has stayed on the line. Effenberg with the header down.
03:36Kufor is keeping it in or around the danger zone.
03:39Tarnak to deliver.
03:41Tarnak to deliver.
04:08He did well to dig that idea out of the Cabinet.
04:10He certainly did.
04:17He's bent it in mischievously. It's 2-0.
04:26Alexandra Kachkiewicz hurled himself in at the back post
04:33and these are new heights that Dinamo Kiev are scaling. Shevchenko having scored one
04:42has now delivered the cross
04:47from which the lead has been doubled. I actually thought it was the number 13
04:53Petschkiewicz who got the touch here and I think it was.
05:02Matias away from Bjarkelvic. Give it a strike instead and it's got good pace and power and a deflection
05:11and Bayern are back in the tie and the silence is deafening. Well that is amazing isn't it you
05:20know from from that distance it must have got a deflection surely to the past few days. I don't
05:25even think it did. Well that was the very last kick of a first half which has been quite gripping.
05:35Goals after a quarter of an hour from Andrei Shevchenko and the Ukrainians must feel that they're having
05:43to do the whole job all over again. They had established a position of terrific authority
05:48but with the final kick of the first half the tie was thrown open to doubt once again
05:59and Tidimo Kiev begin the second. Desirous of re-establishing their cushion. Kosovsky. Rebrov.
06:11Clever ball from Rebrov and Kosovsky's waiting in the middle and it came to Bjarkevich
06:17and somehow it stayed out. Well what a chance and what a build-up clever play all round there by
06:24the Kiev team. I mean the build-up down the right-hand side was wonderful. Rebrov playing the
06:28Lushni in down there he smacks it across the face of the goal hits the keeper and really I think
06:33the
06:33surprise of it all just took him off.
06:43Bastrov. Kosovsky away from Strzok's clever little face
06:49and still Kosovsky and Kufor was facing his own goal it's Kosovsky
06:54and it's 3-1 for Dinamo Kiev.
06:59A catastrophic error at the back by the Ghanaian Kufor
07:05and Vitaly Kosovsky was only too eager to profit
07:13and to score the softest and one of the most important goals he'll ever score.
07:18Well I don't think you can see a soft goal there because it was coming down awkwardly there
07:22and he follows it into the ground and into the net you know it was a difficult ball to take
07:25and he was involved all the way through with it because he'd been in the build-up
07:29got it deep dribbled and played the ball and got the break off Cooper obviously
07:33and then kept his eye on the ball just concentrating keeping it down
07:40and it's earned the corner and Shovkovsky has punched a little nervily.
07:47I must say so Kosovsky tonight you know we've seen him when he's been very solid
07:52he looks as if he's a little nervous tonight you know he's not not handled it well he's made quite
07:57a
07:57few elemental mistakes
08:02Hussin
08:10Kaczkiewicz oh that's a really super pass it's a chance for Kosovsky
08:17it's the latest in a line of really splendid slide rule passes from midfield
08:24Dynamo Kiev are creating and creating and creating and Kosovsky's ball in
08:28Janko with the flick header this is Scholl strength behind him
08:35Hussin with the clearance
08:39Well I must say Bayern didn't make the most of that did they
08:41you know Janko with the header it was a true header
08:43she's still playing in the cross for Rebrov it's Sögi Rebrov
08:49couldn't wrap his right foot round it what a chance
08:53oh I mean again great football cutbacks first player missed and Rebrov you would bet
08:58money he was going to score there didn't you there was a ball played again and
09:03you just see here they just miss the first player and then Rebrov there steps inside the defender
09:07he's on his bike save and then just took them as kicks it they're finding angles though
09:22it's turn up with the ball in it's another corner
09:27so Kosovsky has half come for this corner and was caught in no man's land
09:33and is involved in a debate which is a little more than heated with those defenders around him
09:39Effenberg's delivery was teasing and look at the position of the goalkeeper as Kufour got the header in
09:44…
09:52Strutz
09:55Babel
09:56Matthias
10:03Zickler
10:06saw from behind by Kaladze
10:10and Hitzfeldt will seek some invention here
10:17last quarter of an hour of the game
10:19a second Bayern goal
10:22could be a massive goal
10:25the last kick of the first half from Tarnat produced
10:28Bayern's only goal on the night so far
10:32and it's Michael Tarnat again
10:35left it for Effenberg
10:37oh it's a terrific free kick
10:42and again there is a near funereal silence
10:47in Kiev because it's those from Munich who are celebrating another beautifully executed set piece
10:53this time from Stefan Effenberg
10:55well they kidded everybody
10:58because you know everybody thought it was going to be the left foot there of Tarnat
11:01and Effenberg
11:02you ran over the ball and Effenberg bent it in there
11:04the big gap from the goalkeeper's left hand side
11:06and off the post
11:07and it was a super goal
11:16Pusin
11:19Pusin
11:20Rebrov
11:22Shevchenko charging through the center forward for him
11:25and then coming to get it
11:26Shevchenko
11:28Shevchenko shots
11:31and can't parry it at the near post
11:33he doesn't even need half a yard
11:35no that was quality there wasn't it
11:36I mean he just got one touch on it there
11:40knocks it past the defender
11:41then he puts a shot in
11:44absolutely no back lift at all
11:47I mean they've been on the back foot now for you know 10 minutes maybe 15 minutes
11:51and then all of a sudden there's a break
11:53and then danger man come into it
11:55so I mean there's still a bit of life left in this one today
11:58Pusovski with the corner
12:01header away by Kufor
12:03off the line by Mateus
12:05what a timely intervention that one was
12:08eh
12:20Olovka in adventurous territory for this stage of the game
12:23for a center back
12:26Zickler and Janko waiting for it to be played long towards the edge of the penalty area
12:30but Effenberg has gone back to Babel
12:37Kufor
12:42Effenberg
12:47Oh Salihamidzic couldn't turn
12:48and Kaladzi was alive to all sorts of possibilities
12:51but then lost the ball
12:52Effenberg's played it back in
12:54Zickler's header
12:54Janko in the penalty area
12:56it's Karsten Janko
12:57it's 3-3
13:01Bayern have pulled it back
13:03and have re-established favoritism
13:07Barcelona and the final
13:10at the end of May
13:11are back in sight for the Germans
13:14and Karsten Janko it is
13:15who has restored parity for them
13:18well it was Zickler's header in there
13:20that played the ball to him
13:21and look at that
13:22he's getting pulled down
13:23but he's such a big strong fellow
13:25he's done nothing all night
13:26and there he is he manages to fight his way onto the ball
13:29and just focus through it out and knock it past the keeper
13:34well late goals have meant so much to Bayern Munich through this campaign
13:38remember Teddy Sheringham's own goal back on matchday 2
13:41and Salah Hamidic with a late winner in Barcelona on matchday 4
13:46three minutes from the end
13:48and it's the final contribution of what has been a truly enthralling first left
13:55Valeriy Lobanovski must have felt at a couple of stages in the evening
13:59that he had taken his team to the brink of the Champions League final
14:04but twice Bayern came from two goals down
14:07with Karsten Janko sealing their 3-3 draw
14:10with one of the last kicks of an enthralling evening
14:14it's finished in the Ukraine
14:16Dynamo Kiev 3
14:17Bayern Munich 3
