00:30Welcome and welcome. And here we are just a few miles north of the Munich city center at the magnificent Allianz Arena. I'm Derek Ray, ready to bring you match commentary. And alongside me is Stuart Robson. And with the atmosphere really building up nicely, we should be in for a terrific contest. It is Bayern Munich taking on Dynamo Dresden.
00:50Well, this should be interesting today. I like the makeup of both teams. They really do have a good balance of attacking and defensive qualities. But the team that has the greater desire will probably come out on top.
01:01And so they start at 11 for Bayern. Manuel Neuer begins in goal. Jonathan Tarr plays with Dayo Upamecano in central defense. Joshua Kimmich plays with Leon Goretzka in the center of midfield. And the centerpiece of the attack today is Harry Kane.
01:26This is the lineup for the visitors today.
01:40Well, it's a 4-3-3, but one that will see the front players play close together. So it's vital that they combine as much as possible, particularly in the top third of the pitch.
01:50So the ball is rolling. The first half of this game underway.
02:10Christoph Daphia now.
02:18He didn't catch it badly, but certainly questions to be asked about the lack of accuracy there.
02:32Kane.
02:37Oh, this is looking promising.
02:40Well, as you can see here, Kane gets beyond the challenge of the defenders so easily.
03:00And in the 1v1, Kane makes no mistake. He never really looked like missing, did he? What a goal that is.
03:061-0 then.
03:24Well, that wasn't a great challenge.
03:261v1, Kane.
03:281v1, Kane.
03:301v1, Kane.
03:321v1, Kane.

03:541v1, Kane.
03:551v1, Kane.
03:57Clear statement of intent. Yellow card.
04:00Yes, setting the standard early with that decision.
04:26And snuffed out the danger immediately.
04:36And that'll be offside.
04:50A credit to him for the challenge.
04:52And the throw-in conceded.
04:56Well, Bayern have it back now.
05:02Luis Diaz.
05:04Now Harry Kane.
05:07What a big, Harry Kane!
05:09Well, that is top-class goalkeeping for you.
05:12Yeah, really smart piece of goalkeeping there, as you said.
05:15So agile.
05:22Kane.
05:23Superbly red and executed.
05:26Oh, disappointing end to that.
05:30Yeah, just stopped it in its tracks there.
05:35It's a bit of a struggle for both sides to keep the ball right now.
05:39Well, here we can see it again, and he does so well to skip beyond the defender.
05:48It just buys him that bit of time to get his shot away.
06:05That's a really nice goal.
06:09Sound of the ball rolling again.
06:112-0 the score.
06:122-0 the score.
06:23Carl.
06:25Very alert defending to put a stop to the chance.
06:28No mistake from a keeper acting decisively.
06:41Serge Gnabry.
06:42He's in with a chance.
06:51And it's true for him today.
06:54A masterful performance.
06:57The defenders unable to stop it.
07:05Well, let's see this again.
07:07This is counter-attacking football at its very best.
07:10And Kane does the rest.
07:11He hits through the back of the ball with such power.
07:14What a great finish that is.
07:17Three goals without reply.
07:19And it's Harry Kane on the run.
07:32Well, nothing comes of it.
07:34It looked promising.
07:37Well, maybe a good position from which to counter.
07:41Well, a disappointing end to that break.
07:47Harry Kane.
07:49Oh, how about that for a tackle?
07:53What a piece of defending that was.
07:55Well, he's certainly not alone.
08:04I am regaining possession here.
08:14Oh, what an opportunity.
08:16Oh, terrific save.
08:18Yeah, quick off his line.
08:19Read the shot well.
08:20And made a very good save.
08:23Who's going to get on the end of it?
08:25Has to clear his lines.
08:27The attack ended disappointingly.
08:34Promising position, this.
08:36Take it on.
08:36Take it on.
08:37Take it on.
08:39And holds onto it confidently.
08:46Luis Diaz.
08:47And Bayern finding space on the flank.
08:57Oh, excellent reflexes.
08:58Yeah, made it really difficult for the striker.
08:59Yeah, made it really difficult for the striker.
09:01Top-class goalkeeper.
09:03And eventually, goalkeeper's ball.
09:06Well, you can sense the relief amongst his teammates.
09:08But what a first save that was.
09:10And defending as a unit.
09:15Well, that's how to defend the edge of the box.
09:17Ready to break, perhaps.
09:19Oh, looks so promising.
09:21We've seen tidier challenges.
09:34We've seen tidier challenges.
09:47And that one.
09:51Oh, nice ball.
10:14He has teammates around him.
10:23Taken by the keeper without any fuss.
10:28There will be one minute added on at the end.
10:32Serge Gnabry.
10:34And his throw here.
10:37In position.
10:38And it goes!
10:40Such a complete performance.
10:42Four in front now.
10:44Well, let's look at this again.
10:53Because the transition when the ball changes hands
10:55is so quick.
10:57And Gnabry does the rest.
10:58He hits through the back of the ball with such power.
11:01What a great finish.
11:03And that brings to an end the first half here in Munich.
11:06And back in business here.
11:34Bayern very much bossing it in the first 45.
11:37Let's see what this half has in store for us.
11:39He wrecked the situation defensively and did his job.
11:51Now the quick counter-attack could be on.
11:58He's unable to keep the ball.
11:59And he's broken free.
12:05Just narrowly wide in the end.
12:09Substitution then.
12:10Let's see how it affects the match.
12:12Luis Diaz.
12:25Luis Diaz.
12:25Here we see it again.
12:55It all started with that superb one-two.
12:58And then through on goal.
12:59He just goes for power and smashes it past the keeper.
13:02There's no stopping that.
13:03What a great finish.
13:04My goodness.
13:17It's so one-sided.
13:19It's 5-0 in this match.
13:20The flag has gone up and it's not going to count.
13:41Well, it was a close call, but he is just offside.
13:44Good finish, mind you.
13:45Team-mates available.
14:07And striking it.
14:11Simple caps, really.
14:21Luis Diaz.
14:22This went slightly awry for them there.
14:42Guerrero.
14:43Guerrero.
14:43Really getting stuck in.
14:53Chances off.
14:55Oh, there it is.
14:56It's one goal after another.
14:59And it speaks to the quality of that performance.
15:01Yeah, that's really sloppy flight.
15:16He had to be more aware there.
15:18That should never be the goal.
15:19Well, that's an out-and-out pasting.
15:346-0.
15:40Well, he's beaten his opponent.
15:43Well, fantastic reflex action.
15:46Who's going to get on the end of it?
16:06Needs to take great care.
16:07Luis Diaz.
16:19Now with Kimi.
16:26Such an ambitious run.
16:28Could be frightening.
16:30Oh, good save.
16:33And they're making a change.
16:37The corner from Kimi.
16:58Trying to force a mistake.
17:04And that last touch means a throw-in for them.
17:07Well, those stats tell you everything.
17:10Bayern have enjoyed the majority of possession.
17:12Yes, they've played well when going forward.
17:14It's been their ability to regain the ball.
17:16Which has made them so hard to play against here.
17:18And it makes them such a good team.
17:19It's been a brilliant performance so far.
17:22Yes, it might be on for them once more.
17:26Now, can they hit them on the counter?
17:31Well, they have to pay attention.
17:33And Bayern able to win the ball back.
17:46Sloppy from both sides, you have to say.
17:48Well, I think it's fair to say neither team are passing it well.
17:54Now, who can he play it to?
17:56And suddenly on the front foot.
18:06We're getting close to full time.
18:08And it's all going to plan for Bayern.
18:10Well, what an excellent performance this has been.
18:13They've had complete control for most of the game.
18:15Their movement, clever passing and energy have been a joy to watch.
18:18It's been a really good win for them.
18:20Now, breaking at pace.
18:27Potential danger.
18:30But nothing comes of it.
18:36Christoph Dafferner.
18:38Konrad Leimer.
18:48And Diaz has it.
18:51What about the stoppage time situation?
18:53Two minutes, the word.
18:55And then with the real touch.
18:57Oh, great save.
18:59Well, what reflexes from the keeper?
19:01That's a top-class save.
19:03And played in by Kimi.
19:05No two ways about it.
19:07A wild, wild attempt.
19:09Well, it's so hard to get this right.
19:11And he just couldn't adjust his body quickly enough.
