Bayern Munich's Joshua Kimmich powered in a 63rd-minute header to give the Bundesliga side a 1-0 victory over Arsenal in the Champions League on Wednesday and send them through to the semifinals for the first time in four years with a 3-2 aggregate win.
Germany international Kimmich timed his run into the box perfectly to connect with a Raphael Guerreiro cross and put Bayern, who had earlier hit the woodwork twice from a double chance, in the driving seat following a 2-2 first-leg draw.

The Bavarians, enduring their worse domestic season in more than a decade after failing to win both the Bundesliga title and the German Cup, will next face Real Madrid -- conquerors of holders Manchester City -- in the last four.
"Unbelievable win. It's been a tough season for us and we've had to fight and grind at times," Bayern's top scorer Harry Kane, who had bagged a goal in the first leg, said.
"Today was just that -- we knew it was going to be a tough game but also that at home we could make the difference with our fans there.
"As always in these types of games, the first half was a bit cagey. We said at half-time to up the tempo and the pressing and be better with the ball. That's what we did."
There was little to separate the two sides in a cautious first half with Bayern threatening early with two shots from Kane.
Arsenal, bidding to reach the semifinals for the first time since 2009, were almost caught on the break in the 23rd minute when Noussair Mazraoui's cutback after a quick turn of pace was palmed wide by David Raya. The Arsenal keeper also blocked a Jamal Musiala shot a minute later as Bayern had a brief spell of pressure in the first half.
The best chance, however, fell to Arsenal in the 32nd with Gabriel Martinelli's first-time shot, after good work from Martin Ødegaard, going straight to keeper Manuel Neuer, who set a competition record with his 58th clean sheet.
The hosts went close straight after the restart with Leon Goretzka's header bouncing off the crossbar before Guerreiro hit the post with a shot on the rebound.
But they gradually upped the pressure against a toothless Arsenal and Kimmich charged into the box and drilled his header past Raya.
Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta made several substitutions but they could not find a way into the opposition box and had no real scoring chances in the second half with Bayern remaining disciplined and in control of the game.
"Very sad and disappointed with the final result," Arteta said. "It was a tie of very small margins. In the first leg we conceded two poor goals.
"It was a game where you can see an error or individual brilliance would make the difference. The goal put them in a really good position. We lacked the magic to unlock the game and open that door. That's why we are out."
The defeat caps a disappointing four days for Arteta's team after their Premier League title challenge suffered a blow with their loss to Aston Villa on Sunday.
