    Time:90'
    • Bayern
    • Aberdeen
    • 90+3' And that's it! It's all over. Aberdeen's European campaign is brought to an end by a merciless, five-star performance from Bayern Munich. The Germans will take some stopping in this competition.
    • 90' There will be three minutes of stoppage time.
    • 89' Bayern are looking for a sixth, but Lucio is penalised for handball in the box as he seeks to control a corner from the left.
    • 85' GOAL! 5-1 Bayern! Van Bommel ambles onto a pass and fires a crisp shot across Langfield into the bottom-left corner! Lovely goal!
    • 83' GOAL! 4-1! Lovell gets his head to de Visscher's inswinging free kick to snatch a consolation for the Dons.
    • 82' Great save Kahn! Lovell cuts inside and tees up Nicholson, but his well-struck effort is brilliantly pushed away by the German 'keeper!
    • 81' Aberdeen win a free-kick in a promising position, but de Visscher's delivery drifts out for a goal kick.
    • 79' The impressive Sone Aluko is replaced by Steve Lovell.
    • 77' GOAL! 4-0 Bayern! Podolski heads home Schweinsteiger's right-wing corner at the back post, and this is beginning to get embarrassing for the Dons.
    • 75' Another change for Bayern. Bastian Schweinsteiger replaces Altintop. De Visscher came on for Darren Mackie, incidentally.
    • 73' Altintop chests a cross into the path of Sosa, but the substitute flashes his half-volley over the bar.
    • 72' Jeffrey de Visscher comes on for Aberdeen.
    • 71' GOAL! 3-0 Bayern! Klose's fierce shot from the edge of the area is blocked by Langfield and Podolski coolly sidefoots the rebound into the roof of the net! And that is game over.
    • 70' Podolski wins a corner on the left. Sosa curls it in, and it's headed clear.
    • 69' Bayern make another change. Kroos comes off for Argentine midfielder Jose Ernesto Sosa.
    • 67' Chance for Bayern! After a powerful surge from Podolski, Altintop's cut-back finds van Bommel and the Dutchman produces a rather weak shot that Langfield saves comfortably.
    • 66' The home fans are evidently convinced that victory is in the bag - 'Shall we sing a song for you?' is the chant from the away supporters.
    • 65' Bayern make their first change. Miroslav Klose replaces Luca Toni. Not a bad sub really, what with his 10 World Cup goals and everything.
    • 64' Kroos is cautioned for holding back Nicholson.
    • 63' Bayern are re-asserting their authority with some patient passing football now. Kroos gets on the end of a cross from the right but puts his shot straight at Langfield.
    • 61' Jimmy Calderwood makes his first change, as Josh Walker is replaced by Christopher Maguire.
    • 60' Aluko - who is really starting to cause problems - crosses from the left, but Bayern are able to clear.
    • 58' Zander Diamond diverts Altintop's right-wing cross over the bar from right in front of goal!
    • 56' GOAL! 2-1! NO! Oh how cruel! Aluko beats Sagnol again and whips a great ball into the box from the left, it just misses Miller and Mackie slides it in at the back post, but the flag was up! Mackie is booked for his protests, and you can't blame him - he was onside when the ball was played!
    • 54' Sight of goal for Aberdeen! Aluko sneaks down the left, beats Sagnol and whips in a cross that just eludes his team-mates! Bayern counter-attack, and Langfield has to push van Bommel's right-footed shot away!
    • 53' Kroos swings another dangerous free-kick into the Aberdeen box from the left, but this time Langfield punches clear.
    • 52' Great stuff from Lucio! He breaks forward from the back, strides past a clutch of challenges and wins a corner on the left.
    • 51' Kroos runs the ball out of play on the far side. Bayern are attacking the right-hand goal in this second period.
    • 50' Maybury sends a speculative 35-yard effort whistling over the bar.
    • 49' Altintop picks up a pass from Toni and weaves his way into the box from the right, but his attempted cross rebounds against him and goes behind for a goal kick.
    • 47' Kroos fires in a right-footed effort from distance, but it's straight at Langfield.
    • 46' The second half begins, and Altintop is inches away from connecting with a through-ball!
    • 45+1' Bayern hit the woodwork! Langfield produces a tremendous stop from Ottl and Lucio's half-volleyed follow-up from a tight angle hits the post! And there's the half-time whistle. Bayern are 45 minutes from the last 16.
    • 45' Chance for Bayern! Podolski flicks the ball to Altintop inside the area and his toe-poked effort is deflected beind by Langfield!
    • 44' The visitors look to build something from the back, but they're quickly crowded out in midfield.
    • 42' If Aberdeen are to haul themselves back into this tie, a goal before half-time would do very nicely indeed. No sign of that at the moment though. Nicholson goes into the book for speaking out of turn.
    • 40' Sagnol makes a real meal of a challenge from Miller and wins a free-kick on the Bayern right. Toni gets his header to Lucio's cross from the right but it's well off-target.
    • 38' Any hopes of an Aberdeen comeback have surely perished with that goal.
    • 36' GOAL! 2-0 Bayern! Kroos whips the free-kick in from the left and Daniel Van Buyten powers a header through Langfield's fingers from about eight yards!
    • 35' Sone Aluko goes into the book for a messy challenge on Jansen on the Bayern left.
    • 34' Let-off for Aberdeen! Toni gets on the end of a long ball and has only Langfield to beat but his first touch lets him down.
    • 33' Lee Miller concedes a free-kick for pulling Lucio down inside the Bayern half.
    • 32' Andreas Ottl thumps in a right-footed shot from 25 yards, but it's straight at Langfield.
    • 30' Podolski looks for Toni with a cross from the right, but it's headed away.
    • 29' The corner finds its way to Lucio on the right, and his cross is deflected behind for another corner. The corner is played into the box and after a scramble Langfield pounces on the ball!
    • 28' Considine nods Altintop's right-wing cross over the bar for a corner.
    • 27' Walker is shown the yellow card for kicking the ball away.
    • 26' Kroos whips in a corner from the left, and Toni - backing away from goal - can't divert the ball on target with his head.
    • 25' Chance for Bayern! Toni beats his man and sends in a low shot from the edge of the box that Langfield saves with his legs!
    • 24' Great chance for Aberdeen! Darren Mackie latches onto a through-ball and with only Kahn to beat he fires it just wide of the far post! That was a golden opportunity.
    • 23' Sight of goal for Aberdeen! Josh Walker slides a lovely ball into the box, Barry Nicholson just can't get there and barges into Marcell Jansen. Free-kick to Bayern.
    • 22' Severin launches a long throw into the Bayern box from the right and Lucio heads it clear. Aberdeen are starting to see a bit more of the ball.
    • 20' Bayern slow things down for a bit. With a 3-2 aggregate advantage and two away goals in the bag, they'll be in no hurry to throw men forward.
    • 19' Toni gets his head to a deep cross from the right but can't direct it goalwards.
    • 17' Good save Langfield! Bayern attack from the left, Kroos finds Podolski, Podolski slips it to Hamit Altintop and the Turkish midfielder's first-time shot is pushed away by the Aberdeen 'keeper!
    • 15' Andrew Considine has to clear a right-wing cross from right in front of goal! Lucio then shows exemplary control in bringing down a cross at the back post, but he's rather harshly given offside.
    • 13' Lucio certainly connected with that shot, but Langfield might be a little bit disappointed when he sees the replay. The ball went straight over his head, and he could have done better.
    • 12' GOAL! 1-0 Bayern! The free-kick is touched to Lucio and the Brazilian thumps a right-footed effort that flies over Langfield into the roof of the net!
    • 11' Kroos gets away from Alan Maybury and the Irishman clips his heels and brings him down! Maybury is booked, and Bayern have a free-kick about 22 yards out.
    • 10' There's a great atmosphere inside the stadium. Scott Severin looks to quieten the crowd with a half-volley from fully 30 yards, but it sails well over Oliver Kahn's crossbar.
    • 8' Podolski collects a pass from the left, flicks the ball into the air and volleys it goalwards from the edge of the box, but it's straight at Jamie Langfield.
    • 7' Kroos curls in a free-kick from the left but it's too high and it sails out for another goal kick. Bayern have started very brightly here.
    • 6' Toni Kroos - an 18-year-old of whom big things are expected - scampers down the Bayern left, cuts inside and curls in a cross that goes out for a goal kick.
    • 4' Willy Sagnol crosses from the Bayern right and it flicks off Darren Mackie's leg and goes behind, but the referee awards a goal kick.
    • 3' That would have been a stunning goal. Great football from the German league leaders.
    • 2' Bayern hit the woodwork! Lucio, who loves to get forward, swings a left-footed cross into the box from the right, Luca Toni chests it into the air and Lukas Podolski fires a superb left-footed volley that thumps against the crossbar from just inside the area!
    • 1' We're underway!
    • 17:40 The teams take to the field, Bayern in all-black, Aberdeen in all-white. And by the look of things, it's a scarf-wielding, flag-waving, banner-hoisting full house.
    • 17:32 Referee: Robert Malek (Poland)
    • 17:31 Aberdeen: Langfield; Foster, Diamond, Considine, Maybury; Severin, Nicholson, Walker; Mackie, Aluko, Miller
    • 17:30 Bayern Munich: Kahn; Sagnol, Lucio, Van Buyten, Jansen; Altintop, Ottl, Van Bommel, Kroos; Toni, Podolski
    • 17:25 TEAM NEWS: Mark van Bommel is expected to return for Bayern, but Willy Sagnol, Martin Demichelis and Franck Ribery are all injured and winger Bastian Schweinsteiger faces a late fitness test. The visitors are missing Richie Byrne, Jackie McNamara, Jamie Smith and Derek Young, but Andrew Considine is fit after recovering from illness.
    • 17:15 Hello and welcome to eurosport.yahoo.com's LIVE coverage of this UEFA Cup last-32 second-leg match between Bayern Munich and Aberdeen from the Allianz Arena in Munich. The sides drew 2-2 at Pittodrie last week, but it will take a performance to rank alongside the glory days of the early 1980s for Aberdeen to progress to the next round. Kick-off is at 17:45 GMT.
