TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Sergio Aguero's hat-trick - including two goals in the last five minutes - kept Manchester City's Champions League hopes alive in a dramatic victory over Bayern Munich.
CSKA Moscow's late equaliser against Roma in Russia ensured even a defeat by Bayern at Etihad Stadium would not end City's hopes of reaching the last 16, as reported by BBC Sport.
But it looked like they would need to win convincingly in Rome in their final game as they trailed to Bayern in the closing moments.
City can now go through so long as they better CSKA's result against Bayern - but if City lose their game against Roma, or it ends in a 0-0 draw, they would go out of the competition.
