Arturo Vidal's thunderbolt and Thomas Muller's tap-in comfortably put Bayern Munich through to the Champions League semi-finals for the fifth successive season, this time with a 3-2 aggregate win over Benfica.
Vidal, who last week headed the only goal of the first leg, powerfully volleyed home from the edge of the area 11 first-half minutes after Raul Jimenez bravely nodded the tie level.
Seven minutes after the break Muller steered in a nod-down from a corner, giving the 2013 Champions League winners a second away goal which proved far too much for manager Rui Vitoria's side to claw back. Substitute Anderson Talisca's free-kick gave the hosts hope, but it was too little too late as the game finished 2-2.
The result at the Stadium of Light could see Bayern boss Pep Guardiola face Manchester City, the club he will manage from the summer, in the last four. Guardiola will not meet former team Barcelona after the holders were knocked out by Atletico Madrid.
