  7. PENALTY TO BAYERNpublished at 60 mins

  9. CLOSE!published at 56 mins

    Bayern Munich are inches away from doubling their lead as Arjen Robben plays in a ball which Leverkusen keeper Bernd Leno comes flying out of his box to deal with - but his clearance is straight at Robert Lewandowski and the rebound goes just wide of the post - it looked like it was going in.

  10. Bayern Munich 1-0 Bayer Leverkusenpublished at 54 mins

    Karim Bellarabi now has another chance for the visitors but it's straight at Manuel Neuer. Coach Roger Schmidt will be very happy with this start.

  11. Bayern Munich 1-0 Bayer Leverkusenpublished at 52 mins

    Stefan Kiessling should probably level the scores - the Bayer Leverkusen forward is played in on goal but is shot from an angle is straight at keeper Manuel Neuer and his rebounded effort is cleared off the line by David Alaba.

    Moments later Hakan Calhanoglu fires a shot wide from just outside the box. A very encouraging start to the second half from Leverkusen.

  12. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 46 mins

    Arjen Robben bursts into the box and goes down, I think he just tripped over himself. He wants a penalty though but he's not getting it. Ridiculous by the Dutchman.
