Kane Fires Bayern Into Last 16 as Frankfurt Fall Late; Fan Sanctions Define Matchday

UEFA crowd penalties shaped the night’s atmosphere across both fixtures.

Overview

  • Bayern beat Union Saint-Gilloise 2-0 to clinch a top‑eight spot, with Harry Kane scoring in the 52nd minute and from the spot in the 55th before missing a later penalty as Minjae Kim was sent off on a second yellow.
  • With UEFA closing Südkurve blocks 111–114, Bayern extended the shutdown to the entire lower tier, canceled 9,336 tickets, and ultras moved to the upper tier to display protest banners against collective punishments.
  • Eintracht Frankfurt lost 3-2 at Qarabag after leading 2-1, conceding in the 80th minute and again in the 90+4th, which confirmed their elimination under interim coaches Dennis Schmitt and Alex Meier following Dino Toppmöller’s exit.
  • Eintracht supporters faced an away-travel ban from UEFA over the December Barcelona incidents, adding to the strain around the club’s late collapse in Baku.
  • 1. FC Köln report roughly 36,000 tickets sold for the U19 UEFA Youth League tie with Inter on February 4, a figure that could challenge the competition’s attendance record of about 40,368.
