Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Mercedes-Benz Arena. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' A quiet spell here at Mercedes-Benz Arena. VfB Stuttgart seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
- 10' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 15' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Sebastian Hoeneß will be considering his options from the bench.
- 20' FC Bayern München looks like a favorite considering 2 games won in last 2 matches with its main striker Harry Kane scoring 1 goals.
- 25' VfB Stuttgart are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined FC Bayern München backline.
- 30' Joao Palhinha is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for VfB Stuttgart tonight.
- 34' A goal from the Germany international Angelo Stiller! He fires home on 34 to make it 1-0!
- 39' Controversy at the stadium! Finn Jeltsch argues furiously but the card stands.
- 42' A moment of madness from Julian Chabot on 42 minutes earns him a card. VfB Stuttgart will be frustrated.
- 45' Michael Olise makes no mistake. The score reads 1-1 and FC Bayern Munchen are in front.
- 48' Chris Fuhrich was booked on 48.
- 53' With 0 assists to his name this season, Josha Vagnoman is clearly more than just a goal scorer for VfB Stuttgart.
- 58' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
- 59' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the card for Konrad Laimer.
- 62' A tactical swap from FC Bayern Munchen — Kingsley Coman on, Leroy Sane off on 62 minutes.

- 81' It is a substitution in VfB Stuttgart team. Chris Fuhrich is replaced by Jacob Bruun Larsen on 81 minute.
- 86' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 87' The supporters are chanting for Thomas Muller. He replaces Jamal Musiala on 87 minute.
- 90' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Harry Kane on 90 minutes.
