    Time:90'
    • Lille OSC
    • Bayern Munich
    • 90+4 FULL-TIME: Lille 0-1 Bayern. Thomas Muller's first-half penalty secures all three points for the visitors.
    • 90+3 Schweinsteiger booked.
    • 90+2 Digne crashes a shot way off target. Bayern looking good for three points.
    • 90 Shaqiri booked.
    • 89' Pedretti replaced by David Rozehnal for Lille. The defender will take a place up front.
    • 87' Lille pressing. Three minutes left. Can they get an equaliser to get off the mark in this season's CL?
    • 85' Alaba straight into the action with what must be a 40-yard free-kick that he lashes well wide of Landreau's goal.
    • 84' David Alaba replaces Muller for Bayern.
    • 83' Payet's corner well cleared by Mandzukic at the near post.
    • 82' The Lille change has really given them fresh impetus. It's one-way traffic at the moment.
    • 81' Kroos off for Luiz Gustavo. Are Bayern looking to shut up shop?
    • 79' Mendes again looking lively but this time Bayern survive as Lahm blocks the run of Digne.
    • 78' Great impact by Mendes. The forward bursts in from the right and has a clear sight of goal but scuffs his effort with just Neuer to beat. Real panic all of a sudden in that visiting defence.
    • 77' Ryan Mendes comes on for Roux.
    • 76' Kroos crosses from the right and Muller somehow contrives to miss it at the near post. Great chance for Bayern.
    • 74' Just over 15 minutes left for Lille to rescue this game. Can they do it? Tweet Paul Hassall with your views
    • 73' Martinez appears to push Balmont on the edge of the Bayern penalty area. Big shout for a spot-kick but the ref is having none of it. The contact looked to be just outside the box. anyway
    • 71' It's now 3-0 to Valencia in BATE. Soldado hat-trick. Check out our LIVE matchcast from BATE v Valencia
    • 70' Bayern's Mandzukic is the next name to be taken by the referee as Payet drills an effort wide.
    • 69 Great one-two between Lahm and Schweinsteiger but the return pass is just a fraction over-hit and the full-back is beaten to the ball by Landreau.
    • 68' Martinez goes down on the right-hand edge of Lille's area. No free-kick according to Atkinson.
    • 67' Balmont tries his luck from distance but sees his shot arrow way wide of Neuer's left-hand post.
    • 66' It's been a much more even second period but we are still lacking any real goalmouth action.
    • 64' Neuer forced into action as he successfully reads and punches a dangerous cross from the right.
    • 63' Big shout for a penalty from the Bayern players as Shaqiri's cross hits the arm of Franck Beria.
    • 62' Bayern enjoying a decent spell but it remains 1-0 and Lille are very much in the game with half an hour to go.
    • 61' Fine play by Muller down the right ends with a centre that Lille make a real hash of, but eventually clear to safety.
    • 60' Kroos fizzes a volley just wide after Lille could only clear a Bayern corner to the edge of the penalty area.
    • 59' Aurelien Chedjou fortunate not to go in the book for a poor foul on Mandzukic.
    • 58' Great block by Sidibe denies Shaqiri what would surely have been a second goal for Bayern.
    • 56' Elsewhere in Group F: BATE 0-2 Valencia. Soldado with a brace.
    • 55' Dimitri Payet replaces Kalou for Lille.
    • 54' Lille enjoying a good spell as Roux fires over from 30 yards.
    • 53' Just two shots on target in this game so far. One apiece.
    • 52' Digne booked for a late tackle.
    • 51' A rare moment of action for Neuer as he easily claims a ball into his six-yard box.
    • 50' Shaqiri bursts down the left and teases in a great cross that is cleared under pressure by the home defence. No let up for Sidibe down that flank despite the substitution of Ribery.
    • 49' Kalou released by Martin down the left but the former Chelsea man cuts inside and makes it easy for Lille to clear.
    • 48' Dante blocks Florent Balmont's speculative 30-yarder with a brave header. Lille have started with purpose.
    • 47' Ribery had apparently been suffering with a back injury and took some hefty knocks in the first 45. Hopefully it's just precautionary.
    • 46' The first-half's stand-out player has been replaced at the interval. Ribery replaced by Xherdan Shaqiri.
    • 46' The second half is underway.
    • 45+2' HALF-TIME: Lille 0-1 Bayern. Thomas Muller's penalty separates the teams in what has been a one-sided clash so far.
    • 45+1 Lille's Pedretti goes into the book. Two apiece in this first period.
    • 45+1' Stoppage time at the end of the first half.
    • 45' Javi Martinez is booked for catching Roux in the centre circle.
    • 43' Garcia will be hoping his attack can test Neuer more after the interval. He's been a spectator for long spells tonight.
    • 42' Lille pushing to try and get level before the break. Digne is a good outlet down the left. He's enjoying a good tussle with Lahm.
    • 41' Stunning cross-field pass by Ribery. At times he's been superb in this first period.
    • 40' Sidibe goes right through the back of Ribery with a poor challenge. The referee gives him the benefit of the doubt but it could easily be a red card for the Lille full-back.
    • 38' What are your thoughts on the first half? Follow Paul Hassall on Twitter
    • 36' A lull in play allows both sets of players to get a breather. There have been few chances but no let up in the industry of each team.
    • 35' A great ball in is well headed clear. Lille break and Marvin Martin attempts a 30-yard volley that slices well wide of target.
    • 34' Whistles of frustration from the home support as Bayern win another free-kick deep in Lille territory. Kroos to deliver.
    • 33' Sidibe finally booked for another foul on Ribery.
    • 32 Benoit Pedretti whips in a poor free-kick from the right that is hacked clear by the visitors.
    • 31 Jerome Boateng booked as Lille try to break at speed.
    • 29' Digne almost makes amends for giving away the penalty with a stunning left-wing cross that just evades De Melo. Great approach play by Garcia's men.
    • 28' Salomon Kalou gets a sight of goal but can't get his shot away in time.
    • 26' Still goalless between BATE and Valencia in the other match in Group F. Remember you can follow our matchcast of BATE v Valencia here.
    • 25' Here come Bayern though. The Germans have dominated possession so far. Lille relying on the counter attack.
    • 23' It's been a good response by Lille. Two corners and some spirited play down the flanks to show they can cause Bayern some problems tonight.
    • 22' Looking at the penalty again, it looks like the correct decision by referee Martin Atkinson. Digne was clumsy in his attempts to get back at Lahm following a mistake that allowed the Bayern captain a run at goal.
    • 21' Lille almost hit back straight away. Nolan Roux latches onto a long ball and looks set to pull the trigger, only to be denied by a last-ditch challenge by Holger Badstuber.
    • 20' GOAL! 1-0 BAYERN. Thomas Muller slots home with Landreau diving the wrong way after Lahm was brought down by Digne.
    • 19' PENALTY BAYERN!
    • 17' Teasing ball in from Lahm is well gathered by Landreau with Mario Mandzukic lurking.
    • 16' Back up the other end and Lille once again deal with Bayern's aerial threat with the minimum of fuss. This time from a right-wing corner.
    • 15' Chance for the home team. Lucas Digne crossing from the left for Tulio De Melo, who sees the ball hit his shoulder and flash wide of target.
    • 13' Toni Kroos delivers but Mickael Landreau again elects to punch clear.
    • 12' Another brilliant run by Ribery is brought to an abrupt halt. Free-kick Bayern on the left flank.
    • 11' Sidibe showing attack is the best form of defence with a forceful run down the right. The hosts attempt to cause problems with a long throw into the box but it's easy for Manuel Neuer.
    • 10' The free-kick is punched clear and Lille survive. Sidibe lucky not have been booked yet. He's already committed two clumsy fouls on Ribery.
    • 9' Ribery again looking lively. Djibril Sidibe hauls him down and it's a free-kick to Bayern on the left edge of the box. Dangerous moment.
    • 6' Lille have won just three of their 14 CL home games to-date. Not a happy stat for the hosts.
    • 5' Franck Ribery seeing a lot of the ball early on. The Frenchman spent three years in Lille's academy but was released at the age of 16. Hindsight is a wonderful thing!
    • 4' It's matchday three of the UEFA Champions League tonight and it sees UEFA giving its full support to Europe's biggest anti-discrimination campaign – the FARE Action Week.
    • 3' Lille have played just three games in Europe against German sides, drawing two games against Dortmund and losing once against Aachen.
    • 2' Underway in what is undoubtedly the biggest game Lille's new 50,000-seater stadium has seen so far and Thomas Muller has a sight of goal immediately. Fortunately for the hosts he fails to collect Philipp Lahm's pass and the opportunity goes begging.
    • 1' KICK OFF!
    • 19.40 Can Lille kickstart their season with a famous win over Bayern or will the Germans illustrate just why they are amongst the favourites to win the competition? The next 90 minutes will perhaps offer some insight and, at the very least, provide some interesting viewing.
    • 19.32 Elsewhere in Group F, leaders BATE take on Valencia at the Dinamo Stadion in Minsk. Follow our matchcast of BATE v Valencia here.

    • 19.25 Bayern warmed up for tonight's contest with a 5-0 away-day thumping of Fortuna Dusseldorf while Lille secured a hard-fought 1-1 draw at Bordeaux. However, Bayern were shocked 3-1 in their last CL outing v BATE. Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said: "After our defeat against Borisov in Minsk, we are feeling a lot of pressure now. Expectations are high for the team to hopefully pull off a win.”
    • 19.15 Lille currently lie bottom of Group F with no points from two outings. The 2011 Ligue 1 champions have won just three times in all competitions so far this term. Group F standings.
    • 19.10 Lille boss Rudi Garcia has described tonight's clash with Bayern as 'David versus Goliath'. He said: "We are playing one of the biggest sides in Europe so we will have to give it 120% and Bayern will have to have an off day if we want to get a positive result. It is David against Goliath. The most important thing for us is to believe we can do it."
    • 19.00 Lille will operate a 4-5-1 system with the intention of pushing into a 4-3-3 when they are on the attack. Djibril Sidibe steps into central defence in place of the injured Marko Basa. Tulio De Melo will be supported by Nolan Roux and Soloman Kalou in attack, with Dimitri Payet on the bench. Mario Mandzukic will lead the line for Bayern in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Fit-again left-back David Alaba starts on the bench, allowing Dante to face his old club.
