Munich, Germany: Bayern Munich qualified for the Champions League quarter-finals with a 7-0 rout of 10-man Shakhtar Donetsk on Wednesday. After playing out a drab goalless draw in the first leg in Ukraine, Bayern made no such mistake against a Shakhtar side reduced to 10 men in just the third minute. Shaktar's horrendous start to the match saw Olexander Kucher bring down Mario Goetze as he was played into the box with a chance of a shot on goal.

Scottish referee William Collum had no hesitation in pointing to the spot for a straight penalty and handing Kucher a red card, his dismissal beating the previous fastest Champions League red card of 5min 52sec for Werder Bremen's Valerien Ismael against Inter Milan in September 2004.
