00:01What a game we have in store for you today.
00:03The hype has been building all week and the fans are pouring into the stadium.
00:08The tension palpable.
00:09Stay right here, we'll have every kick of the ball for you,
00:12live from Munich on EA TV.
00:15Hello and welcome to this venue that looks rather like a spaceship
00:19as you make your way up from the U-Bahn station.
00:21We're at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
00:24My name is Derek Ray and joining me for commentary,
00:27ready to provide all the tactical intricacies, is Sue Smith.
00:31And we have live action from the Bundesliga coming right up.
00:35It is Bayern Munich facing Herbie Leipzig.
00:38Well, it's a pleasure to be here and I'm anticipating a good game today.
00:42The coaching staff have done all they can.
00:45Now it's about taking it onto the pitch.
00:51One for play.
00:56Well, that's the sign of a well-organised defence.
01:02Attacking possibilities for Leipzig.
01:08Must be!
01:09Well, he tried to put everything into the shot, but couldn't find the target.
01:15And so they start an 11-4 Bayern.
01:18Manuel Neuer begins in goal.
01:20Jonathan Tarr plays with Dayo Upamecano in central defence.
01:24And the main striker today is Harry Kane.
01:29And here's how Leipzig will line up.
01:32Yeah, it looks like a 4-5-1 or a 4-2-3-1.
01:36This could be quite an attacking line-up with the three progressive players behind the lone striker.
01:40But you've still got that defensive protection with the two midfielders holding.
01:52Can he put them in front?
01:54Offside for decision.
02:11Schlager.
02:22Yozua Kimmich.
02:29Brinton strongly to win the ball.
02:33Well, a touch too heavy there.
02:44Kimmich.
02:44Kimmich.
02:45Oh, a bit of balance.
02:47Oh, denied by the post.
02:56Oh, sounding told to deny that superb effort.
03:06Oh, goalkeeping heroics.
03:08Oh, talk about reactions.
03:11How good were his then?
03:12It's such close range.
03:14That's a brilliant save.
03:18Couldn't keep the momentum going.
03:20That's class that now.
03:22I'm sure they'll look to build from here.
03:30But here up a dead end.
03:32It was promising.
03:36Raum.
03:40Plenty of support here.
03:43Support them in front.
03:45Keeper was there to meet it.
03:53Brilliant save.
03:54There's a bit of good.
03:55Who knows?
03:55Who knows?
03:58Who knows?
04:15Who knows?
04:17Who knows who knows?
04:21Who knows?
04:22making all of the pressure and all of the attempts count if they find that clinical touch
04:27and the chance was there for him it was he's got to do better there they should be 1-0
04:34up
04:40Olise now Harry Kane Luis Diaz real toast there it is the first goal of the game
04:53and the lead certainly doesn't flatter them good value for it
05:05well if we look at it again you've got to say it's thoroughly deserved they've been the better
05:10side of play creating chances and you just wondered when the goal was going to come
05:16and the ball is moving again will there be a quick response from Leipzig following that concession
05:21there needs to be
05:31and he has options available but quick thinking defensively
05:53oh that is a majestic goal holding home with precision and style superbly done
06:06well here we can see it again and a simple finish it may be but it's all about the movement
06:12in the box
06:12just to find that yarder to a space that's what makes it an easy finish in the end
06:23Baumgartner
06:25intercepting it intelligently
06:31flag raised
06:32offside it is
06:40inching towards the interval and it's going with home advantage
06:43as always very keen to get Jurtec
06:45I think they'll be happy with the first half
06:48good performance from them
06:49played with the real intensity and quality
06:52and going into the break being up by two
06:54huge positive
06:55and he put it away
07:03and a goal
07:04what a magnificent display
07:07it's such a one-sided contest here
07:20here we can see it again
07:22sometimes when you're through 1v1 it's easy to be caught in two minds
07:26he was just really composed and the keeper had no chance
07:30it's easy to be caught in two minds
07:34Baumgartner
07:36wasteful from Leipzig
07:43and support available
07:49really good diving save
07:55corner kick played in
07:57well somehow the goalkeeper got to it
08:05being closely marked
08:07but the header nothing to write home about
08:11they give him back possession easily
08:15but they wanted the penalty and they've got one
08:19and in addition a yellow card
08:22yeah he didn't have a choice there did he
08:43well if you watch this again
08:45his body position doesn't give anything away
08:48and the goalkeeper can't read where he's going
08:50and it just sends him the wrong way
08:52it's a real tidy finish
09:01and the ball is rolling again
09:03Leipzig have left themselves with a real mountain to climb in the second half
09:07can they respond
09:11David Raum
09:14Willy Orban
09:17Luqueba
09:19now with Orban
09:21work from Bayern to make sure possession changed hands
09:28is it the perfect pass
09:36Kane
09:38now can they hit them on the counter
09:41given away by Bayern Munich
09:44and passing it well
09:50well it was all going so well
09:52until it came down to the finish
09:54yeah this was brilliant
09:55until the attempt on goal
09:57they've got so much pace going forward
09:59and so much quality
10:00they'll be disappointed with the finish
10:06fine use of the ball
10:09Harry Kane
10:11well really rifling that one in
10:13and he didn't miss by much
10:22Bayern have given us away
10:25but he's certainly not alone
10:30good weight on that pass
10:38Harry Kane
10:40might do damage on the break
10:46chance to finish
10:49in it goes
10:50he's made it a brace for himself
10:52no stopping him apparently
10:58another look now
11:00and you can see he's under all sorts of pressure here
11:02he's done well though to fend them off
11:04really strong play
11:06and a good finish too
11:08too much defending going on
11:10in the grand scheme of things
11:114-1
11:14Vinnie Orbach
11:19Bakul
11:25on the ball
11:26Schlager
11:27a really good pass
11:31he might yet finish
11:33and behind it's gone
11:35for a corner
11:39playing it in
11:43good use of advantage by the referee
11:45in Bayern's favour
11:51Kane
11:56oh it might be
11:57and he's kept it out
11:58fully stretched
12:00somehow reaching it
12:01so the verdict is caution
12:03yeah it's a clear foul
12:04the ref had no choice
12:06did he
12:07trying to pick out a teammate
12:12this has been comfortable
12:13hasn't it
12:14that back line
12:15just don't seem to have an answer
12:16there's a real quality
12:18when they go forward
12:19the movement
12:20the crisp passes
12:21I wonder how many they'll get
12:23if they continue with this tempo
12:25yes they're having a field day
12:27in attack
12:28and here they come again
12:29and the ball back
12:30with Leipzig now
12:33potential danger here
12:39Schlager
12:42Gally set up a chance
12:44oh a fine block
12:49could catch them
12:50on the break
12:53and a disappointing end
12:54to that
12:57decent looking pass
13:00this looks more than decent
13:06a challenge that could have gone wrong
13:10so deciding to make a personnel change
13:12at this juncture
13:13and there's the delivery
13:15and a goal here
13:17there it is
13:19they've done it
13:40so the current scoreline
13:424-2
13:47Kane
13:49oh that's a clever ball
13:51well that takes the wind
13:52out of their sails
13:53great defending
13:57Nikolaus Seywald
14:09opportunity
14:10oh goodness me
14:11off the post
14:16that is how to keep it out of the net
14:21well the woodwork
14:22well the woodwork just about keeping them in this
14:23it has been chance after chance though
14:26you just think if they score another
14:28you fear this could get ugly
14:29oh this is promising soon
14:31and it goes
14:32the lead just gets bigger
14:35surely they can't let this slip down
14:45well here's the replay
14:46despite lots of pressure from the defender
14:49he manages to hold him off
14:51gets his shots away
14:52it's a good goal that
14:59Bakul
15:00schlager
15:05showing good situational awareness
15:10now the quick counter attack
15:12could be on
15:21oh this looks useful
15:26lack of guile with regard to that cross
15:29goalkeeper's ball
15:31Luis Diaz
15:34now Harry Kane
15:38Serge Gnabry
15:40now plays with a positional sense
15:42that is second to none
15:45confident attacking play
15:47oh that's a really good run
15:55now what can they do from here
16:01he read the situation defensively
16:03and did his job
16:06and that will be a Leipzig throw in
16:10and I must say that's very good refereeing
16:12going back to hand out the yellow card
16:15in that fashion
16:17referee intervening
16:27played in there
16:32well but all was said and done
16:34he's failed to hit the target
16:41Serge Gnabry
16:46well if you're wondering about out of time
16:48in two minutes it'll be
16:50Harry Kane
16:52might lead to a chance
16:55and you cannot argue with a hat trick
16:57simply unstoppable today
17:07well here we can see it again
17:09and a simple finish it may be
17:11but it's all about the movement in the box
17:14just to find that yard or two a space
17:16that's what makes it an easy finish in the end
17:20and so the contest comes to a close
17:22and it's Bayern Munich who win this game
17:25three points for them
17:26what did you make of it all?
17:28well that was an emphatic result wasn't it
17:30they looked so confident in attack
17:32every time they went forward
17:33you thought they were going to score
17:35I'm sure they'll be pleased with that
