    Time:90'
    • Bayern
    • Bolton Wanderers
    • - Join us NOW for LIVE coverage of Nürnberg v Everton!
    • 90+6' The whistle sounds on this match. Megson will be highly thought of in Lancashire now, you suspect... what a comparison to the club's start in the Premier League.
    • 90+5' Schweinsteiger with a last-ditch effort that is off target and Bolton will claim a point.
    • 90+4' Bolton holding out... a late chance for them here perhaps... nothing comes of it. Only 60 seconds left on the clock.
    • 90+2' Lucio slams a fantastic shot towards the top of the net and it is just over!!! Bayern very nearly snatch the points!
    • 90' There are five minutes of added time to play as Stelios goes down, seemingly booted off the ball by Van Bommel! Nothing is given.
    • 88' Van Bommel's shot is blocked. Bolton on the verge of a famous result here in Germany.
    • 86' Adranik on the right side of the field bangs a volley and it is into the side-netting!!! Bolton also capable of nicking all three points, unbelievably.
    • 84' Al-Habsi clutching at the ball in the air and it falls to Lucio 20 yards out with people all over the place... he blasts it over!!!
    • 82' Nolan sped into the box and nicked the ball free for Davies to smash it home low under Kahn. Well well - anything can happen in football.
    • 82' BOLTON EQUALISE IN MUNICH!!!
    • 80' Guthrie in position to shoot as Bolton find space in the home half... his hard effort is headed by Lucio with the top of his bonce and he leaves to receive treatment.
    • 79' Lucio with a low, bouncing set-piece that troubles Al-Habsi - but again the Bolton 'keeper makes the stop and claims the rebound.
    • 78' Bolton defender O'Brien booked for a hefty challenge on the touchline.
    • 77' Bolton change: Andranik on for the hardworking Braaten. Fresh blood.
    • 76' Lucio with a great piece of defending, winning two tackles before wasting the ball in midfield.
    • 74' Bayern's final sub: Turkey's Hamit Altintop on for Schweinsteiger.
    • 73' Now Van Bommel hits one after a multitude of stepovers from Schweinsteiger. It is deflected wide and Andy O'Brien heads away the corner.
    • 72' Schweinsteiger again tries his luck, aiming for the top corner - but the ball was swinging away and Bolton remain only a goal down.
    • 70' Schweinsteiger clumps a shot high and wide from 30-odd yards.
    • 69' Stelios busy in the middle of the park for Wanderers, but it all seems in vain. Bayern a little more cagey in the absence of Ribery.
    • 66' Megson gestures at his players to look to go forward more often, but they don't really have a chance.
    • 64' Bayern wide man Schweinsteiger unleashes hell from 25 yards and Al-Habsi tips over brilliantly.
    • 62' Gerald Cid into Klose late, a bad tackle. Yellow card for you, sir.
    • 61' Bayern sub: Ottmar Hitzfeld brings off Ribery to wild acclaim. Teenager Toni Kroos is on in his place. That is a vote of confidence in his side and Bolton will be pleased.
    • 60' Bayern ripping Bolton apart now, with Ribery in sensational form... he receives the ball 18 yards out and smacks it hard, stopped by Al-Habsi and the ball lands on the top of the net!
    • 58' His first act is to try and get on the end of a free-kick into the box.... seconds later Ribery threads a ball through for him and he controls but is caught flat-footed as the visitors clear. The offside flag is up anyway.
    • 57' And for Bayern: Toni is introduced for Podolski to a rapturous welcome. He has 12 goals this season - Bolton beware.
    • 56' Bolton change: Stelios for Mikel Alonso, who has been a bit absent tonight.
    • 54' There are substitutions in the offing as both Bayern and Bolton get players warmed up.
    • 52' A long ball forward is chased down by Davies - Kahn races out of his goal to put the ball into touch. A long throw from Nolan... or not - the ball slipped in his hands and the ref gives a foul throw.
    • 51' The place is jumping now. Bolton, you feel, will have a hell of a job to keep the home team at bay, never mind search for an equalising goal.
    • 49' Ribery ran to the right by-line and pulled the ball back into the path of Podolski - he made no mistake from a few yards out.
    • 49' BAYERN TAKE THE LEAD!!!
    • 48' An early strike arrows past the Bayern post from Bolton captain Kevin Nolan.
    • 46' The second half begins with the on-fire Toni still on the bench then and Bayern now kicking towards the goal on our left.
    • - No changes at half time in Munich.
    • 45+1' It is the last act of the half. The ref blows and Bolton will be very happy with their contribution so far.
    • 45+1' Despite there being a 'minimum of no minutes' injury time to be added according to the fourth official, Bayern will have seconds to take the kick. It is whipped in and Gardner defends well to deflect the ball behind.
    • 45' Ribery on the right is felled by Braaten, right on the edge of the box. Yellow card for the Norwegian.
    • 43' Van Bommel slips a ball to the feet of Podolski - he backheels brilliantly through two defenders and Schweinsteiger is free on the right, 10 yards out... Al-Habsi blocks! Schweinsteiger has an open net on the rebound and finds the side-netting! Bayern on top and threatening a second goal as half time approaches.
    • 41' Bayern have a free-kick on the right, only 25 yards out. Schweinsteiger plays it across the line of the area where Van Bommel strikes first time... it cannons off Gavin McCann and Al-Habsi does very well to get down and save again.
    • 39' The away fans are not happy with the ref - a bit harsh. They are referring to him as something rude. I kid you not.
    • 37' Ribery again carving his way through space in the last third before hitting a low shot that Al-Habsi saves well once more. He will have plenty of business to deal with today, the goalkeeper.
    • 36' Davies with the ball in an advanced role... will he shoot? No, he looks to thread a pass through for Braaten - and it is cut out.
    • 34' Bayern's fans have their voice and the club plenty of matchwinners on the pitch.
    • 32' Ribery skipping through yet again - Bolton cannot get near him! His low shot is saved well by Al-Habsi at the near post.
    • 30' Podolski burst inside from the left and played the ball to Ribery, who found Schweinsteiger... the lay-off was into the Germany striker's path and he struck it into the far corner with the outside of his foot. Great goal.
    • 30' BAYERN LEVEL THROUGH PODOLSKI!!!
    • 29' Davies on the ball straight away. He spins away from two markers... Van Buyten cannot catch him and his shot from the angle of the box is... JUST WIDE!!! How close to the second goal for Bolton.
    • 28' Kevin Davies is booked for speaking out of turn - he is not happy about a challenge before.
    • 27' Nothing comes of it and Bolton fall back...
    • 26' Megson's name is being chanted by the travelling supporters. Bolton win a free-kick in an advanced position, courtesy of Gardner.
    • 24' Ribery on the right, popping up all over the place so far. His square ball into the box is met by Brazilian defender Lucio, who wins a corner... it is cleared by Bolton.
    • 22' Klose hits the deck in the penalty area and looks to referee Jaroslav Jara - but he is waved away.
    • 20' Van Bommel wastes a shot from inside the box following more excellent work by the spritely Ribery. It is high and wide.
    • 19' Gardner with a cracking tackle on Jansen. Bolton's tactics are spot on so far, with players such as Nicolas Anelka, El-Hadji Diouf and Ivan Campo missing.
    • 17' Schweinsteiger cannot deliver from the right with Braaten back helping. Ribery then skins Alonso on the by-line, but Mark van Bommel could not capitalise from 18 yards.
    • 15' Kahn deals with a ball into the penalty area as Bolton pile numbers into the last third.
    • 14' Braaten closing down brilliantly on the left, full of running. Gary Megson will be chuffed to bits with the opening quarter of an hour.
    • 12' Bastian Schweinsteiger on the right causing a headache in Wanderers' defence. The home fans are stunned.
    • 10' Marcell Jansen unleashes from distance and the ball is only marginally wide of the top corner. Game on here in Germany - with Bolton, struggling in the Premier League, firmly in control.
    • 8' The Jamaican's first goal for five years was a volley that came of Daniel Van Buyten and sailed past Oliver Kahn in the Munich goal. The visiting fans are jubiliant!
    • 8' Gardner SCORES FOR BOLTON!!!
    • 6' Ribery again sends in an evil cross - with no one on the end of it. End to end.
    • 5' In this first five minutes it is indeed Davies alone in attack with Braaten surging into the space when the opportunity presents itself. So far so good - they are playing decent football too.
    • 3' French winger Franck Ribery skips through a challenge and puts in a good ball. Bolton hold firm in defence.
    • 2' Braaten almost got on the end of the last attack. Bolton win another corner kick! This time they are less threatening. There is a cracking atmosphere inside the ground.
    • 1' Bolton win an early corner!!! Danny Guthrie whips it in and Davies gives it back to him... another ball in causes a bit of panic in the Bayern box and they just manage to clear. Positive start...
    • 1' The match kicks off with Bolton in traditional white kicking from right to left. Bayern bizarrely in black...
    • - Kevin Davies seems to be playing alone up front for the Trotters with Daniel Braaten supporting perhaps. Ali Al Habsi is in goal for the English club...
    • - Luca Toni on the bench for the home team, but Miroslav Klose and Lukas Podolski are as lethal in attack.
