1': We're off!
6': CLEARED OFF THE LINE! Goretzka seems sure to score there but Hermoso gets in the way!
9': GOAL BAYERN! Olise with the fantastic aerial cross and Harry Kane drifts in to score a header at the back post!
14': SAVE!!! Upamecano makes a bad backpass, Frimpong grabs and fires but Neuer smothers the chance!
16': Bayern wants a penalty here, they took a free kick and it hit Xhaka's arm but it was clearly tucked in, no pen
22': Musiala's close range header hits the bar!!
25': Coman goes for the near post but only hits the side netting!
28': Goretzka rolls an unthreatening shot wide.
31': Great strike by Kimmich from distance except for being just a bit wide.
39': An absolute clusterfuck of collisions where a bunch of people get injured but no one is whistled for a foul and arguably there was no foul at all, but both teams get angry at each other and it leads to Konrad Laimer and Nordi Mukiele both getting cards
41': Tah whiffs wildly with his attempted volley and glances it well wide, plus he was offside anyway
HT Bayern Munich 1-0 Bayer Leverkusen Even game so far! Bayern with a great goal to take the lead.
46': We're back!
52': Leon Goretzka carded for protesting
54': GOAL BAYERN! Oh no it's a disaster!!! An overhit pass goes straight to Kovář who has an easy easy catch to make but he spills it right into the path of Jamal Musiala who pounces on it quickly and scores!
58': Bayern substitution: Jonas Urbig on for Manuel Neuer who has some kind of leg problem... hoo boy
62': A SECOND YELLOW!!!! Nordi Mukiele with an immediately regretted challenge on the back of Coman's calf! He's off!
68': Bayern double sub: Josip Stanišić and Leroy Sané on for Konrad Laimer and Kingsley Coman
68': Leverkusen substitution: Edmond Tapsoba on for Amine Adli
70': Olise cuts along the edge of the box and finds the angle to shoot, but it's right at the keeper
73': OH NO!! We're going to VAR and yes, that's a PENALTY FOR BAYERN!! Edmond Tapsoba just stupidly wrestling Kane to the ground!
74': And Jonathan Tah carded for protesting!
75': GOAL BAYERN!! Harry Kane fires an unsaveable penalty into the top corner!
80': Leverkusen triple sub: Aleix García, Patrik Schick and Arthur on for Granit Xhaka, Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz
87': Leverkusen substitution: Emi Buendía on for Álex Grimaldo
88': Sané with a great run and a strong shot but it flies wide.
89': Bayern double sub: Eric Dier and João Palhinha on for Kim Min-jae and Leon Goretzka
90+2': Big shot from Kimmich! But Kovář dives and gets both hands on it.
90+5': Musiala with the greatest touch and dribble you will ever see!!! And then he crosses to Palhinha who has to score here but he hits the bar!
