Wolfsburg are going to bring on Jakub Blaszczykowski.

The Polish international, who spent nine seasons at Borussia Dortmund, is stripped down and warming up on the pitch as we await the two teams.

What's German for Dubious Goals Committee?

They might have some work to do to attribute that goal correctly.

Anyway, Bayern are two to the good as the teams head off down the tunnel.

Really sharp, short passing around the edge of the box from Wolfsburg, but when the ball is shipped wide, Gianluca Itter, the 18-year-old, over-cooks his cross with Divock Origi well placed and relishing an aerial contest with Mats Hummels.

A little chink of light for Divock Origi to probe at.

The Wolfsburg striker steps on the gas to run in behind Mats Hummels, but Jerome Boateng is across to expertly shut out the space and block his shot at source.

Ignacio Camacho plants his studs square into the shinpad of Arjen Robben after the Dutchman showed him a stepover too many out on the right wing.

A decent spot for a free-kick.

But Mats Hummels is just beaten to the delivery.

With no need for the VAR according to the ref.

And it looks a decent call.

Marcel Tisserand had a fistful of Robert Lewandowski's shirt and the Bayern man is going to take the spot-kick himself...

Sebastian Rudy lumps a nothing-much ball into the box and the ball drifts harmlessly through.

Wolfsburg are holding the hosts at bay with some ease so far.

Bayern Munich not yet connecting the dots in attack.

They are yet to register a shot on target.

Franck Ribery gets snipped in the middle of a ugly sandwich between Paul Verhaegh and William.

Both Wolfsburg defenders were snapping around his ankles and the referee decides that it is Brazilian William who is responsible for leaving Ribery in a crumpled heap and issues yellow.

Wolfsburg's first effort on goal as Maxi Arnold lines up his trusty left peg and sends the ball skimming a few yards over the top from 25 yards.

Rafinha gave the ball away too easily there and then failed to close his man down quickly enough.

Wolfsburg defender Marcel Tisserand leaves one on Robert Lewandowski as the Bayern defender swivels and spins in behind him.

Lewandowski dusts himself down, picks himself up and....sends the free-kick curling just wide from 25 yards out.

Closer,

Arturo Vidal ploughs into Ignacio Camacho like an out-of-control combine harvester.

Yellow for the Chile international - his third of the short season so far.

Camacho is off to have a quick application of the magic sponge. And is back into the fray.

Into the wall.

Disappointing from Robert Lewandowski who had won the discussion with Arjen Robben over who should take it...

Wolfsburg are looking solid. All eleven behind the ball.

But they might have some problems here.

Ignacio Camacho catches Arjen Robben with a stray set of studs and Robert Lewandowski is lining up the free-kick from 25 yards...

Bayern are popping the ball about nicely, enjoying lots of early possession.

Slow, slow, slow, there is the quick as Rafinha clips the ball in towards the diagonal run of Arjen Robben off the right flank.

That is cut out by Marcel Tisserand though.

But Bayern have not got the back door locked up as tight as they might.

Wolfsburg break forward and a just a final pass away from setting Divock Origi free in the penalty area.

Early jitters in the Wolfsburg defence as Joshua Kimmich's cross very nearly drops for the lurking Arturo Vidal.

Goalkeeper Koen Casteels cleans up the mess at the second attempt.
