Substitute Cosmin Contra scored in the dying minutes to help Getafe claim a 1-1 away draw with Bayern Munich in the first-leg of the UEFA Cup quarter finals.

Italian prolific striker Luca Toni gave Bayern the lead in the 26th minute when he rose to head home Bastian Schweinsteiger's right-wing corner.

The German giants missed several chances to double their advantage and were paid to pay for their wastefulness in the 90th minute.

Romanian defender Contra snatched a precious equalizer for Spanish side Getafe when he chipped over Bayern keeper Oliver Kahn.

Bayern face a tough challenge to go through to the next round but coach Ottmar Hitzfeld remains upbeat over his side's chances.

"We’re very strong away from home, so we can go there and win. I remain optimistic about our chances of going through," Hitzfeld told Bayern website after the match.
