Bayern and Lazio will reconvene quite a extensive time from now, on 17 March. Except if Lazio do something really remarkable, it’ll be a glorified welcoming. Bayern will be delighted that they’ve got this accomplished tonight provided their critical absentees. They have been provided a large amount of aid by an awful Lazio defence, whilst Musiala’s goal was a authentic gem and what a player he appears!
Chelsea have overwhelmed Atletico 1- many thanks to those acrobatics from Giroud! The away sides in control tonight.
A a lot much more even 2nd fifty percent, but Lazio will need to score at the very least four periods in Munich when they go there for the return leg. Any person extravagant them?
90+three min: A astonishing late Sule burst provides Bayern a late absolutely free kick in Alaba vary. It is skied way around while.
90+1 min: We are in the 1st of four supplemental minutes. The speed of this game is a crawl now while.
87 min: Lazio seem a contact leggy now but they are holding possession for a even though, devoid of on the lookout like carving out a opportunity.
86 min: It is extremely a lot been “foot off the gas” stuff from Bayern in the very last fifty percent-hour.
eighty two min: Luis Alberto, who’s been helpful at periods, is changed by Akpa Akpro. The tranquil Milinkovic-Savic arrives off and on arrives Cataldi, who quickly normally takes a corner and sees Acerbi head it broad at the close to submit.
Up to date
80 min: Reina saves properly from a Lewandowski shot on the switch after the striker kills a ball from the sky, whilst it was the keeper’s weak clearance that established the sequence in train.
seventy eight min: A Correa shot is deflected broad. Lazio have never thrown in the towel here. Luis Alberto’s corner is headed broad by Hoedt.
seventy seven min: David Hindle has lit the blue touchpaper. Here is Alexander Chesneau –
“Fully agree with David Hindle’s issue. As a Lyon lover who had not witnessed Bayern play right up until the semi, I was not amazed. Gnabry’s expertise set Bayern in control and, let us be trustworthy there, they did control the tie properly but right up until that issue they had accomplished nothing and had seemed exceptionally shaky at the back again. Then the last was a balanced match in which two Coman runs (the goal and a huge opportunity just before that if memory serves) produced the distinction. They are unquestionably a single of Europe’s best groups, but they unquestionably really do not seem head and shoulders over the rest. Though the rest involve a self destructing Barça, a Real heading nowhere, a sputtering Juve, a tired Liverpool and a staff led by Pep ‘let’s overthink the CL quarter finals’ Guardiola, so possibly basically currently being great is ample to be a best contender.”
seventy five min: However another yellow, Coman with a petulant late barge on Marusic. All a little bit scrappy and niggly now. Bayern change Coman with Hernandez quickly.
7four min: Chelsea have scored a significant goal from Atletico – it is Olivier Giroud with an overhead kick, and it is a 1- “away” guide.
72 min: Kimmich is the most current yellow-carded player, for dissent, after Davies is harshly judged to have fouled Lazzari to the appropriate of the Bayern box. The established-piece arrives to nought.
seventy one min: Not this time. The wall does its position and Sane’s work cannons powering. Bayern hold some strain on next the corner but can not make it depend.
sixty nine min: Escalanta is rightly booked for a really soiled foul as Lewandowski runs through the middle. Real opportunity from *this* absolutely free-kick, undoubtedly. It is twenty five yards out.
68 min: Davies legs it back again to catch Lazzari and concede a corner. Can Lazio make this seem interesting-ish? Nooooo.
sixty six min: Marusic is booked for a relatively cynical press on Coman as the ahead bursts to the box. It is a promising absolutely free-kick situation but Alaba whips it broad.
sixty four min: Immobile places in a snap shot but Neuer hangs on to it. Then Bayern spray the ball around a minimal. It is been pleasurable, this, but I do want Lazio had appear out as sprightly in the 1st fifty percent. They appeared to have stage fright.
sixty three min: A Bayern sub. Off arrives Goretzka on arrives Martinez. Legs will need saving.
sixty two min: David Hindle has precisely what the latter levels of this game could will need – a provocative talking issue …
“Am I the only a single who discovered Bayern’s outcomes in the rather unusual, ‘bubble’ phase of the CL very last 12 months flattered to deceive? In point, the three- from Lyon was a travesty. They could (must) have been two or three down in the 1st 20 minutes and have been finding an absolute hiding. But, total ineptitude in front of goal sabotaged the French. The last was really a fairer end result in that feeling. It was near, whilst what funds Mbappé would miss out on sitters like those this 12 months? Bayern are heading to get discovered out. My funds on Liverpool to do the finding.”
60 min: Bayern haven’t responded to Correa’s strike by knocking a couple much more targets in, I have no thought what’s wrong with them.
56 min: Boateng has to make a block to quit Immobile finding a shot away after running through. Lazio are actively playing with some perception – but too late in the day!
54 min: Leiva arrives off and Escalante arrives on Patric arrives off and Southampton loanee Hoedt joins us.
Up to date
52 min: What an odd game of soccer. That goal undoubtedly won’t have an affect on the tie, since Bayern have a 3-goal guide and four away targets. But it places Lazio’s tails up a minimal. Very good finish but Bayern defended extremely limply.
They are not so awful in attack while! Luis Alberto turns into area and sets up Correa, who waltzes through some nonexistent Bayern challenges and slots in coolly!
Uh-huh. From the corner Sane breaks and runs the duration of Napoli’s fifty percent. His centre is bound for Davies right up until Acerbi variety of runs into the ball, in a actually Sunday League way, and sents it squirting into his own web.
Up to date
That Lazio-Bayern fifty percent? Largely guys from boys. Lewandowski scored from an absolute reward by Musacchio Musiala finished brilliantly Sane tapped in after high-quality get the job done from Coman. Lazio really do not seem awful heading forwards, and must have had a penalty – but they are so susceptible at the back again.
Up to date
Expensive oh pricey. Bayern so great and in such control. You could conclude this tie appropriate now.
forty four min: Lazio get paid a corner but can not respond and their task appears hopeless now.
Coman streaks away down the remaining like lightning after another Lazio error. He twists this way and that, Reina parries his shot, and Sane faucets in the rebound. Undoubtedly we are accomplished, not a quarter of the way through this tie.
Up to date
42 min: Lulic has produced a distinction and can not quite choose out Luis Alberto in the box when properly put. So what comes about upcoming …
forty min: Ooh, they approximately do get that goal after Lulic keeps the ball alive and tees up Immobile for a shot that’s deflected broad! That was goalbound. Neuer punches the corner away from beneath his bar.
39 min: Still tough to uncover a lot hope for Lazio. They have to score the upcoming goal in this tie actually, but really do not seem at all like accomplishing it. They seem caught amongst poles.
