    Werder Bremen 0-2 Bayern Munich

    Bayern Munich ought to be 3-0 up now but Noussair Mazraoui totally ignores Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting after getting in down the right. Any sort of pass across goal would have left the former Stoke forward with a tap in there.

    Harry Kane is on the deck. It looks like Bayern's record signing has a touch of cramp.

    Meanwhile, Thomas Muller is stripped and ready to come on for Thomas Tuchel's team.

    You don't give Harry Kane that much time and space surely.

    Kane was pretty much completely unmarked between the Bremen centre-backs, when he received that pass.

    He let it come across his body and then dispatched into the bottom left corner, albeit it looks like a slight deflection off defender Amos Pieper, worked in his favour.

    Another chance goes awry for Harry Kane.

    The former Tottenham man gets across his marker but can't connect cleanly with Kingsley Coman's low pass from the left as the ball runs through for a goal kick.

    Werder Bremen 0-1 Bayern Munich

    It's like the NBA as the ball is shifted back and forth and these two sides go at each other.

    This time it's Bayern's turn to go close again with captain Joshua Kimmich curling wide from the edge of the home penalty area.

    Werder Bremen 0-1 Bayern Munich

    Marvin Ducksch and Niclas Fullkrug have come alive here for the hosts.

    A bit of pressure from the Bremen forwards causes the panicky clearance to drop to midfielder Jens Stage who powers an effort over the Bayern bar.

    All of a sudden the decibel levels rise.

    Werder Bremen 0-1 Bayern Munich

    This really is a cracking game now. Harry Kane drives forward and unloads an effort from 20 yards or so but that's a very good save from the Bremen keeper Jiri Pavlenka, who gets down low to his right to save.
