60'
CLOSE! Lewandowski almost turns a cross into the box into the bottom corner in emphatic fashion as the striker acrobatically takes a shot with Baumann left helpless.
58'
It's chances like that Hoffenheim have to take against the champions of Germany. Kramaric will be kicking himself for not getting his first goal for his new club.

54'
CLOSE! Lewandowski almost gets on the scoresheet again and Guadiola seems shocked that he didn't. Badstuber tries to turn a header towards the back post, which the Polish striker gambled on but couldn't quite get his effort on target.
52'
Robben tries to use his devilish left foot again as he came in from the right flank to work a shot on goal, however this time his effort is blocked and it's easily gathered by Baumann in the Hoffenheim goal.

Baumann is worked by Muller for the third time in this match at the German international tries his luck from range. However, he fails to strike the ball cleanly and the goalkeeper gathers with ease.

A slightly slower tempo to this match now the first goal has gone in. Less pressure is being applied from the home side higher up the pitch which is allowing Sule and Bicakcic more time on the ball.
37'
Most of Bayern's attacks are coming up the left side now, with Costa, Alaba and Coman all combining well to make fantastic triangles for each other to work with.

23'
Kim has his work cut out tonight! Now Muller and Lahm are getting in on the action up the right flank much to the full-back's dismay. Both Strobl and Kramaric are dropping back to assist the defender.
