    Time:90'
    • Bayern
    • Steaua Bucharest
    • 90+4 The referee blows for full time, an easy win for Bayern who now have 11 points and are through to the last 16. Steaua have only one point but are just two behind Fiorentina, so a win in the final match of the Group Stage would see them and not the Italians in the UEFA Cup.
    • 90+3 The final whistle is blown, Bayern are definitely through after that win.
    • 90' Breno with a good challenge to help keep Bayern's clean sheet.
    • 85' This match is won for Bayern, who now have young Brazilian defender Breno on to shore things up.
    • 81' A rough challenge by Golanski on Borowski, yellow card.
    • 74' Toni is furious at being denied a free-kick on the edge of the box. That looked a foul. Rensing easily gathers a weak shot from distance.
    • 72' Klose is played in down the right this time, he could be in again but is forced wide, he tries to cut it back to Toni but it's behind him and cleared just before Ribery arrives!
    • 70' Ribery with a great piece of skill to sprint into space, what a turn! He races clear down the left and plays it into Klose WHO IS ONE-ON-ONE AND SLIPS IT PAST ZAPATA WITH THE OUTSIDE OF HIS RIGHT FOR 3-0!
    • 66' Klose needlessly strays offside in a free-flowing counter from Bayern that should have seen at least a shot on target.
    • 65' Long shot from Radoi comfortably held by Rensing.
    • 62' Oh no, Toni has hurt his shoulder in scoring that goal. Looks serious.
    • 61' Lahm on the left, he clips a mid-height cross towards Klose at the near post, and that's a great flick on by Klose AND TONI FLIES IN TO HEAD INTO THE BOTTOM RIGHT FOR 2-0! Finally Toni scores. Phew.
    • 60' Incessant pressure from Bayern at the moment...
    • 58' Almost a second for Bayern! Ribery down the left skins the right back and cuts it back but hacked away before Klose and Toni can pounce.
    • 56' BAYERN TAKE THE LEAD! Finally, and Toni almost fluffed it again. Lahm fed Ze Roberto down the left, his cross was mis-kicked by Toni and the loose ball fell to Oddo who cut it back to Ribery, who gave it to Klose for an easy finish. 1-0 to the hosts.
    • 53' Lahm gets the ball on the left, he swings over a great ball that finds TONI UNMARKED but his downward header is straight at Zapata!
    • 50' Stancu almost gets in but well-defended by Van Buyten.
    • 47' Bayern with an early move, Van Bommel finding Klose but the Germany striker can't get the shot away.
    • 46' Second half underway!
    • 45+2 Half-time, Bayern somehow not in the lead. Incredible really given the chances Luca Toni has had.
    • 44' Another pair of corners for Bayern but Van Buyten and Toni cannot get their headers on target.
    • 42' Bayern go close again from a set piece, Toni flying in but blocked.
    • 41' Good spell of pressure for Steaua, Nicolita winning a corner and Rensing forced into a straightforward but low save.
    • 37' Van Buyten completely mis-kicks the ball while clearing, horrible misunderstanding with Lucio and Stancu is in but the flag is up! Because Van Buyten did not touch it the original pass was played to Stancu.
    • 32' Steaua are seeing a bit more of the ball as the game opens up but not creating anything.
    • 30' Free-kick to the visitors which Nicolita will take, but he sends it into the Bayern wall.
    • 28' Bayern go close again, this time Van Buyten with a header off a corner that is somehow kept out.
    • 26' Van Bommel with a tackle, he sends it towards Toni on the edge of the area, he flicks it on expertly to Klose who is clean through and drills it past Zapata for 1-0! But no! The flag is up! Toni was offside when he made the flick.
    • 23' RADOI WITH A FLYING VOLLEY FROM THE EDGE OF THE BOX BUT OVER! Rensing was flying desperately across the goal to stop that! Great effort from the defender.
    • 15' Good stuff by Bayern, knocking the ball around Steaua who have not come anywhere near close to testing Michael Rensing.
    • 10' Klose with a cute ball wide to Ribery down the left, he hits the byline and drills a low ball TO TONI ON THE PENALTY SPOT BUT HE SOMEHOW PUTS IT WIDE AGAIN! Another bad miss from the big Italian, this time he used his left foot when he should have used his right.
    • 9' Ribery on the ball, he rides two challenges and slips it inside to Klose who tries a clever reverse pass which is not so smart as Toni was on the right.
    • 7' Bayern go close with the corner but the header from Lucio is blocked. They are all over Steaua here.
    • 6' ANOTHER INCREDIBLE MISS BY TONI! Oh dear he cannot score for love nor money. Klose again was free on the left, closer to goal this time after a through-ball from Ze Roberto, and he hammers it at belly-height and somehow it came off Toni and wide instead of into the back of the net from around four yards.
    • 4' Superb ball wide from Ribery to Klose down the left, he's in loads of space and curls a perfect cross with the outside of his right boot AND TONI ARRIVES ON THE PENALTY SPOT TO SCORE BUT SOMEHOW IT COMES OFF THE CHEST OF ZAPATA AND CLEAR!
    • 2' Almost an opener for Bayern with Lahm in on the right but he can't find Toni!
    • 1' Match underway in Munich!
    • - Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Bayern Munich against Steaua Bucharest in Group F of the Champions League, a group third-placed Fiorentina can still make it out of but only if they win their last two matches and one of Bayern and Lyon loses both of theirs!
