Vinicus Jr scored a goal with an incredible pass from Toni Kroos against Bayern Munich 

On Tuesday, April 30, Vinicius Jr. gave responsibility to Toni Kroos for his first goal in Real Madrid's UEFA Champions League (UCL) semi-final versus Bayern Munich. The first leg of a contest between two European heavyweights ended in a 2-2 draw. Vinicius Jr. opened the score for Los Blancos with a brilliant pass from Toni Kroos, the master of midfield. The Brazilian winger gave the Spanish the lead in the 24th minute when he skillfully moved center-back Kim Min-jae out of position. He then made a crucial run behind the defence and slotted the ball home.

But in the second half, the 14-time UCL champions saw a comeback from the German team. After having trouble with his passes in the first half, Leroy Sane made amends in the 53rd minute by scoring the game's first goal for Thomas Tuchel's team.

Sane beat Andriy Lunin with a deft cut inside from the right flank, rendering Ferland Mendy vulnerable as he struck hard into the lower corner of the goal. Shortly after, Harry Kane, the England football team captain, calmly converted a penalty that Lucas Vazquez had given up.

When Kim Min-jae fouled Rodrygo inside the box in the 81st minute, Madrid had a chance to tie the score. With composure, Vinicius Jr. scored the penalty, giving Carlo Ancelotti's team an equaliser. On May 8, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich will square off in the second leg of their semifinal match at the Santiago Bernabéu.
