Danilo the difference

The Bayern boss wasn't able to get one over on his former employers as substitute Danilo scored in the 79th minute with a fantastic piece of individual play to hand Real victory in New Jersey.

Danilo charged down the flank then cut sharply to his left and split the Bayern defence before blasting a left-footed shot through the hands of goalkeeper Sven Ulreich.

Although Bayern controlled most of the play in the first half, they were unable to capitalise on their scoring chances.
