    Time:90'
    • Bayern Munich
    • BATE Borisov
    • 90+1' FT Bayern Munich 4-1 BATE Borisov
    • 90' Alaba goes for goal with a dipping effort that just drops the wrong side of the bar. Good effort by the substitute.
    • 89' BATE ending the game on a high, and that will frustrate Bayern, who have been so dominant.
    • 88' GOAL BATE score! they hardly deserve it, but Filipenko lashes in from 20 yards to give BATE a consolation.
    • 86' Ironic cheers from the Bayern fans as BATE actually have a shot. Baga's shot is saved easily.
    • 85' Bayern are rampant, and are hungry to add a fifth.
    • 84' BATE look like a broken side, although they've been the masters of their own demise tonight.
    • 83' The Allianz Arena is bouncing.
    • 82' GOAL Alaba makes it 4-0, lashing the ball in from 15 yards after a neat turn. Ribery provided the assist, with a wonderful cross from the left.
    • 80' Ribery has been excellent since coming on.
    • 79' Ribery surges forward down the left and forces a corner as he was attempting to cross for Gomez.
    • 78' BATE have been awful tonight. They should be embarrassed with the performance they've put in, showing no ambition whatsoever.
    • 77' Gomez forces back-to-back corners for Bayern, who are not satisfied with three.
    • 76' Ribery attempts to twist and turn his way into a shooting position, but he is crowded out on the edge of the box.
    • 75' Shaqiri's free-kick finds Alaba at the far post, and he forces another corner.
    • 74' And now Vasilyuk is in the book for a tug on Ribery.
    • 73' Baga is shown a yellow for a cynical trip on Ribery.
    • 72' The game is being played at exhibition pace now.
    • 71' Schweinsteiger is one yellow card away from a ban, so no surprise to see him depart.
    • 70' Bayern sub: Ribery on, Schweinsteiger off
    • 68' Alaba's first contribution is a low drive from 20 yards that flashes a whisker wide.
    • 67' RED CARD Polyakov is shown his second yellow card for a hilariously bad dive to gain a penalty. He's off and now it's ten against ten.
    • 66' BATE sub: Vasilyuk on, Rodionov off
    • 65' GOAL Shaqiri scores for Bayern! Gomez clips a cross in from the left and Shaqiri nods into an unguarded net. Simple as you like.
    • 64' The corner finds Dante, but his header goes just over.
    • 63' Bayern sub: Alaba on, Kroos off
    • 62' Rafinha gets into a good position on the right and forces another Bayern corner.
    • 61' Baga has a go from distance, but Tymoshchuk blocks it well. Bayern limiting BATE to shots from distance now.
    • 60' BATE seeing far more of the ball now but Bayern looking very solid at the back.
    • 59' Volodko is teed up by Hleb and tests Neuer with a shot from 20 yards, but it will take something better than that to beat Neuer.
    • 58' Kroos forces a corner. Easy to forget Bayern are down to ten men.
    • 57' BATE sub: Bressan on, Kontsevoi off.
    • 56' Olekhnovich gets into a great position on the right wing, but leathers his cross beyond everyone.
    • 55' Muller was the planned substitution after Boateng's sending off, so he'll be pleased to sign off with a goal.
    • 54' Bayern sub: Dante on, Muller off.
    • 53' GOAL Muller scores for Bayern! Muller steams into the six yard box to side-foot in Kroos's free-kick, which was flicked on by Schweinsteiger. Hint of offside, but the goal stands.
    • 52' Boateng will miss at least the next two of Bayern's Champions League matches.
    • 51' Rafinha is booked for his protests.
    • 50' RED CARD Jerome Boateng is shown a straight red card for a dangerous challenge on Kontsevoi.
    • 49' Shaqiri swings a high cross in and Gorbunov jumps high to claim it well.
    • 48' Bayern have started the second half how they finished the first. In control, and untroubled.
    • 47' BATE win a free-kick 25 yards out and Baga goes for goal. It's an awkward one, but Neuer claims confidently.
    • 46' SECOND HALF. BATE get us back underway.
    • 45' HT Bayern Munich 1-0 BATE Borisov
    • 44' BATE eventually lose it as half time approaches.
    • 43' Hleb showing some silky skills in midfield but it's a slow build-up with little purpose.
    • 42' BATE ending the half the stronger, but they are showing very little ambition. Seemingly not interested in attacking.
    • 41' Van Buyten makes a vital block as Polyakov was steaming in to meet Olekhnovich's first-time cross from the right.
    • 40' Muller catches Volodko late and BATE can ease the pressure with this free-kick.
    • 39' Bayern being far too fussy in their build up, trying to score the perfect goal. BATE are clinging on.
    • 38' Intricate build up play by Bayern as Rafinha sends a tantalising cross in from the right but it evades both Muller and Gomez, who seemed to put each other off.
    • 37' Kroos goes for goal from 25 yards, and Gorbunov scrambles to his left to palm it away.
    • 36' It's been a lukewarm game here. Bayern very comfortable without being tested in the slightest.
    • 35' Rafinha's poor clearance goes straight to Rodionov, who slips as he was driving into the box.
    • 34' Kroos hammers the free-kick into the wall.
    • 33' Polyakov is booked for a trip on Shaqiri on the edge of the box, as Shaqiri was about to finish off a slick Bayern counter.
    • 32' Bayern have started to really dominate again and are looking hungry for a second here.
    • 31' Rafinha gets forward down the right wing and cuts back to Kroos, whose shot is saved. Good work by Rafinha that time.
    • 30' Kroos's corner is a good one, but Muller is penalised for a foul in the box.
    • 29' BATE clear but Muller forces another corner.
    • 28' Contento and Shaqiri have linked very well down the left flank and the two combine again to force a coner.
    • 27' Bayern have just taken their foot off the pedal a little here.
    • 26' Hleb receives a throw in and finds Kontsevoi with a neat touch, but Kontsevoi can't get a shot away. BATE keeping the ball a lot better now though.
    • 25' Kontsevoi has been BATE's most dangerous player so far. He's drifting in from the right to see if he can influence proceedings that way.
    • 24' Chance for Bayern as Muller crosses for Gomez, but the striker can't get the ball from under his feet and BATE can clear.
    • 23' BATE seeing more of the ball now, but they look very disjointed going forward. Showing very little ambition so far.
    • 22' As things stand, Bayern have the result they need to secure top spot in Group F.
    • 21' Shaqiri showed realy hunger to get past his man and to the byline. Excellent wing play.
    • 20' GOAL! Gomez scores for Bayern! Shaqiri beats Polyakov down the Bayern left and delivers a neat cut back to Gomez, who just had to tap in. 1-0 Bayern...
    • 19' BATE are not playing like a side that has just won their domestic league. Very cagey and nervous opening by the Minsk side.
    • 18' Gomez's first touch has been abysmal tonight. Radkov deals with the Germany striker easily again.
    • 17' BATE enjoy a brief spell of possession, but they relinquish possession far too easily again.
    • 16' Shaqiri delivers a dangerous cross from the left, but there's no one in the box to meet the ball.
    • 15' It's all Bayern though. BATE playing an extremely defensive game, even though they have nothing at stake, with their Europa League place already assured.
    • 14' The corner is played very deep to Tymoshchuk, who lifts the ball back over the defence to the far post, where Van Buyten is just unable to make contact.
    • 13' Schweinsteiger picks out Gomez with a beautiful long ball. Gomez is forced to check back and find Shaqiri, who forces a corner.
    • 12' Bayern being forced to be patient.
    • 11' Contento and Shaqiri combine well to create space 30 yards from goal. Shaqiri finds Gomez, but the striker takes a heavy touch and BATE clear.
    • 10' First chance for BATE! BATE work the ball wide to Kontsevoi, who lets fly with stinging low effort that Neuer is forced to save low to his right.
    • 9' Bordachev slices a clearance high into the air but Gorbunov does well to claim it.
    • 8' Gorbunov will be having a busy evening if the match continues in this manner.
    • 7' Shaqiri crosses from thwe right, but it's straight into Gorbunov's arms.
    • 6' Kroos swings the free-kick into the box towards Gomez, but BATE clear. Albeit unconvincingly.
    • 5' Kontsevoi upends Contento, and Bayern have a free-kick wide on the left.
    • 4' Bayern chance as Shaqiri cues up Gomez, but 20 yards out, the ball won't drop for the striker. Gomez lays it off to Schweinsteiger, but his low shot from 20 yards is saved easily by Gorbunov.
    • 3' BATE yet to touch the ball. Bayern stroking the ball around with real zip and confidence.
    • 2' Bayern enjoying all the possession so far as Contento leads an attack down the left.
    • 1' KICK OFF. Bayern get us underway in Munich.
    • 19.40 The players have emerged from the tunnel. We are five minutes from kick-off at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
    • 19.35 Will Bayern get the win they need to top Group F? Tweet Michael Da Silva here!
    • 19.30 Franck Ribery starts on a formidable Bayern bench tonight alongside Philipp Lahm and Dante, who up to tonight had both played every minute in this season's competition. Should Jupp Heynckes need impact from his substitutes, he has an array of weapons to chose from
    • 19.25 Domestically the Belarusians wrapped up the season on 25 November winning their ninth Premier League title, while their opponents also go into their winter break top of the league - sitting eight points clear of Bayer 04 Leverkusen.
    • 19.20 The same night BATE succumbed to a third successive defeat as Lille ran out 2-0 winners in Minsk, although the team who recently won a seventh successive Belarusian title are nevertheless assured of third place.
    • 19.15 A 1-1 draw at Valencia on matchday five ensured qualification for Jupp Heynckes' team. It left the sides level on ten points but Bayern have the advantage due to a superior head-to-head record.
    • 19.10 Bayern Munich need a victory tonight to guarantee finishing as Group F winners and will be confident of doing so against BATE Borisov, who have lost their way since winning their first two games including a 3-1 defeat of the German giants.
