Enlarge PhotoArjen Robben of Bayern Munich celebrates after scoring against Olympique Lyon during their Champions League... Dutchman Arjen Robben's deflected second half goal gave Bayern Munich a 1-0 win over Olympique Lyon in their Champions League semi-final first leg on Wednesday in which both teams had a player sent off.In a bad-tempered match, Bayern's Franck Ribery was shown a straight red card for stepping on Lyon forward Lisandro Lopez's ankle in the 37th minute.
Lyon were reduced to 10 men nine minutes into the second half after Jeremy Toulalan picked up two bookings in quick succession.
Robben, enjoying a superb first season in Germany, netted the only goal in the 69th minute when his long-range strike took a slight deflection off the head of team mate Thomas Mueller and beat keeper Hugo Lloris.
