- 5' named a 4-2-3-1 earlier, and opted for a 4-2-3-1 in response. A fascinating tactical duel is developing.
- 10' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.

- 20' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.

- 28' The deadlock is broken! Leroy Sane gets on the scoresheet on 28 minutes.
- 32' The deadlock is broken! Serge Gnabry gets on the scoresheet on 32 minutes.
- 37' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
- 42' Christian Eriksen has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 11 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 47' FC Bayern Munchen is showing some good football. However, FC Bayern Munchen are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 49' What composure from Rasmus Hojlund! The Denmark international strokes it home. 2-1.
- 53' What a moment for Harry Kane! That strike on 53 puts his side firmly in control.
- 58' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.

- 75' Maxim Choupo-Moting gets the nod from FC Bayern Munchen. He replaces Jamal Musiala and will look to change the dynamic.
- 80' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
