Sané goes for a winner
Slipping inside from the right, Sané tries to curl a shot towards the far post but it takes a deflection of a defender's back and bounces out for a corner.

Goal probability
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.
Distance to Goal
Distance to Goal
The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.

The equaliser!
Out of the blue, Union are level! There appears to be very little danger when Juranovic floats a cross in from the right, but Urbig fumbles it right into the path of Hoolerbach, who strokes in the equaliser from close range.

How will Union respond?
The hosts have a little over 10 minutes to try and get something from the game. They've been mainly focused on their defensive tasks today; will they muster a reply further forward now?

The breakthrough!
Bayern finally get the goal their dominance deserves. Olise slips a clever ball through to Stanišić on the right and his cut-back goes all the way through to the back post. Jeong looks to have things covered but is slow to react, allowing Sané to nip in front of him and finish right-footed from 10 yards out.

Unusually wasteful
xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Lovely move
Bayern play out from the back and Stanišić sprints up the right wing. The ball is moved inside to Olise and then Kane before it's worked back out wide to Stanišić, now entering the box, but his cross looking for Sané at the back post is cut out by Trimmel.

Over from Kane
Olise drifts in from the right and chips a cross into the box for Kane, whose header goes well over.

Musiala!
The best chance of the game so far as Olise slides a pass into the box for Musiala. The Germany international takes it first time on the turn but can't get enough power in his shot to beat Rønnow.

Opening for Union
As in the first half, it's Juranovic who gets a chance on the counter, sprinting into space down the right. He gets into the box and smashes an effort at goal that Urbig does well to keep out at his near post.
55'
More aggression
If Union were perhaps a tad too passive in the first half as they sat back and contained Bayern, it appears their instructions during half-time were to be more aggressive. They're getting closer to Bayern now, not allowing them as much time on the ball, and this half has been peppered with fouls already.
51'
Kane!
The England international takes the free-kick, driving it around the wall but Rønnow is well placed to make a comfortable save. That was Kane's first effort of the game, and Bayern's first on target.

Free-kick for Bayern
Musiala draws a foul and is brought down in a central position, about 30 yards from goal...

Big save!
Gnabry darts into the box down the left to collect a ball over the top. He only has Rønnow to beat but it's a tight angle and the goalkeeper makes a good save.

Close
An inviting cross from the right is delivered into the danger zone and the onrushing Goretzka tries to get there, but it's just too high for him.

Cheeky
Kimmich curls an in-swinging corner from the left towards the near post, seemingly trying to catch Union out with an 'Olimpico' goal. However, the ball goes out of play before it reaches the target.

Half chance for Gnabry
Stanišić dinks a cross in from the right and finds Gnabry but he can't direct his header on goal. Moments later, Olise gets a shot away on the turn but it's blocked by a defender's leg.

More of the same
The pattern of the game is unchanged: Bayern are on the ball and are probing for openings but Union are keeping their shape well.

Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

No way through
Union appear to be playing a 5-5 formation when defending - which they are doing most of the time. For all Bayern's possession and territorial advantage, they've struggled to create any threatening chances so far due to the sheer amount of bodies in the way.

Brief respite
A Bayern corner comes to nothing and as they try to recycle possession, Davies gives the ball away to Juranovic close to the halfway line. The Union winger sprints forward on the counter in a bid to get closer to goal, but Davies is so quick that he recovers immediately and snuffs out the danger.

Upamecano has a go
The ball falls to Upamecano about 25 yards from goal. The France international immediately smashes a first-time effort at goal but it fizzes narrowly wide of the target.

Nice idea
Kimmich floats a pass over the defence into Union's box, picking out Gnabry's run. He spies Kane in the middle and tries to volley the ball to him first time. It would have been spectacular had it come off but Kane wasn't on the same wavelength and didn't read what Gnabry was trying to do.

Straight to it
Bayern go straight on the attack, with Musiala dribbling forward down the left and finding Davies in space. The move ultimately comes to nothing but the visitors will be encouraged that they were able to find a little pocket to work in so early on.
