Bayern Munich 2-0 Union Berlin

VAR is checking whether Leroy Sane was offside in the build-up to Harry Kane's goal.

Bayern have come out for the second half like a team who have been told a few home truths at the break.

Tough for Union as they'll have to attack more.

Union striker Kevin Behrens has been shown a yellow card for a foul in the build-up to the goal.

Harry Kane gets the action back underway.

A big half of football for Bayern here.

Eric Dier comes on for his Bayern debut in place of the injured Dayot Upamecano.

Union are doing a great job on Harry Kane with the England skipper being limited to just 18 touches in the first half.

The likes of Harry Kane and Jamal Musiala have been far too quiet for the German champions in this game.

You feel if Bayern could get those two involved more then things could quickly change,

It's now a game and a half since Bayern have found the back of the net and they look incredibly frustrated.

Will Thomas Tuchel change anything at half-time?

It's been a pretty dull half of football and Thomas Tuchel will have to get his side going if they are to close that seven point gap Bayer Leverkusen hold over them.

Heart in mouth moment for Frederik Ronnow as he spills Leon Goretzka's shot right in the path of Jamal Musiala.

Luckily, the Union goalkeeper was quick enough to pounce on the ball.

Leroy Sane is such a threat when cutting in on his left foot.

He curls an effort just wide of the far post in the dying minutes of the half.

Five minutes have been added on at the end of the first half.

Time for Eric Dier?

Dayot Upamecano looks to have injured his hamstring, the Frenchman is trying to run it off. Not really sure that's possible.

We could soon be seeing Dier make his Bayern debut.

Yet another corner for Bayern.

Matthijs De Ligt has come close twice before, but the ball is captured easily by Frederik Ronnow.

I'll be honest with you here... It's not the best half of football I've ever watched.

It's been that kind of night so far.

Union had a chance to break on Bayern, but a poor pass forward sees sweeper keeper Manuel Neuer clear the danger.

The away side have had just the one effort so far.

It's all gone a bit flat for Bayern in an attacking sense.

There's not much movement and the intensity that we saw for the opening half an hour seems to have disappeared for the moment.
