    Time:90'
    • Lyon
    • Bayern
    • 90+4' That's the full-time whistle and Bayern Munich cling on to a hard-fought 3-2 victory at Lyon. In due process, the German side win the group, advancing into the knockout stages.
    • 90+2' Massimo Oddo is also replaced by Breno as Jurgen Klinsmann continues to attempt to waste valuable time.
    • 90' Hamit Altintop is on in place of Bastien Schweinsteiger, who was instrumental in much of Bayern's destructive early play.
    • 90' Four minutes are to be added in this second half and Bayern continue to defend their lead frantically.
    • 85' Ottl, who has only just come on to the field, is booked for a clumsy tackle - he clearly isn't up with the speed of the game, or at least that will have been his excuse.
    • 84' Philipp Lahm has been booked for persistant infringement and retreats with a sheepish look on his face. Lyon are still pressing for this elusive equaliser.
    • 82' Frederico Guedes brings a stunning save from Michael Rensing to keep hold of Bayern's lead after the substitute striker headed powerfully, low to the keeper's left.
    • 79' Mark van Bommel is now booked for flying into the back of Govou on halfway.
    • 78' Cesar Delgado has been introduced in place of Honorato Ederson.
    • 71' Andreas Ottl replaces the double goalscorer, Miroslav Klose in an attempt to cling on to the lead from Jurgen Klinsmann.
    • 67' GOAL!! Karim Benzema finally gets himself on the scoresheet with a slick finish, rounding Rensing and sliding home to narrow Bayern's lead to only one goal now.
    • 65' Gassama is subsequently withdrawn after that challenge, and replaced by Kim Kallstrom, the Swedish midfielder. Fred is also introduced in place of Anthony Mounier.
    • 60' Lamine Gassama is shown the yellow card by Howard Webb after a clumsy tackle on Mark van Bommel as the midfielder was surging forward.
    • 52' GOAL!! Lyon restore some pride by grabbing a goal back. Sidney Govou is the man who scores from close-range to reduce the arreas.
    • 46' We're back underway at Municipal De Gerland in Munich and I dread to think what words were exchanged in the Lyon dressing room at half-time - the home fans are almost silent.
    • 45+2' There is the whistle for the end of an enthralling first half, in which Bayern Munich have trounced their hosts Lyon, and go in at the break 3 goals to the good.
    • 45' There are two minutes to be added to this first half, as Karim Benzema squanders another opportunity for Lyon. The striker unleashed one from the edge of the Bayern box, but it did not test Michael Rensing.
    • 37' GOAL!! Bayern extend their lead further as Ribery collects Schweinsteiger's back-heel and floats a delightful cross to Klose, who scuffs his shot into the ground, then into the top corner.
    • 36' A fiercely driven shot by Honorato Campos Ederson strikes the near post of Michael Rensing's goal, with the keeper beaten all ends up. Jeremy Toulalan continues to thread some exquisite passes from midfield.
    • 33' GOAL!! Franck Ribery has doubled Bayern's lead with a sublime finish after Toni had slid him in. It was a consummate finish, casually passing the ball under Hugo Lloris.
    • 28' Luca Toni is beginning to get into the game, holding the ball up effectively and generally causing a nuisance of himself against the Lyon defenders.
    • 22' After missing that good chance to double Bayern's lead, Borowski compounds his error by getting himself booked for a rash challenge on Jeremy Toulalan.
    • 17' A sublime cut-back pass by Franck Ribery finds Tim Borowski, charging onto the ball, but his shot is erratic and wide. He really should have hit the target from there.
    • 12' A superb chance for Lyon to hit straight back as Anthony Mounier skips down the left wing and squares the ball back to the onrushing Karim Benzema, who can only find the side netting - great opportunity for the striker to equalise.
    • 11' GOAL!! Franck Ribery bundles his way into the Lyon box and the ball squirms away to Miroslav Klose, who was loitering on the edge of the area, and calmly slides his shot into the bottom corner.
    • 7' Fabio Grosso is booked for a mis-timed challenge into the back of Bastian Schweinsteiger.
    • 5' Franck Ribery is causing havoc already and referee Howard Webb awards two consecutive free-kicks after Lyon adopt a brutal approach to curtailing his runs.
    • - Welcome to this Champions League Group F encounter between Lyon and Bayern Munich at Municipal De Gerland. Both sides have already qualified, but securing a favourable draw in the knock-out stages is at stake.
