10-woman Bayern holds on to draw with Barça in Champions League

Bayern Munich goalscorer Franziska Kett has been sent off for pulling hair in a 1-1 draw with Barcelona in the first leg of their Women’s Champions League semifinal.

Kett canceled Ewa Pajor’s early strike but was shown a red card in the 79th minute.

She pulled Salma Paralluelo by the hair when the Barcelona substitute was getting away from her.

Bayern coach José Barcala was also shown red for his protests.

Kett preserved Bayern’s hopes of making the final for the first time when she equalized after a well-worked team move 10 minutes earlier.

Bayern held on after Kett’s sending off to leave the tie finely poised before the second leg in Barcelona on May 3.
