51'

Dante gets a firm header on Shaqiri's corner from the left, but Leno saves at the second attempt.

50'

Leno does well to tip out Shaqiri's deep free-kick for a corner.

49'

Boenisch drags Shaqiri down on the right, and that is a free-kick in a dangerous area.

48'

The rested Arjen Robben is warming up - meanwhile, Guardiola barks instructions to Rafinha.

47'

PENALTY APPEAL: Muller is furious as Toprak pulls him down in the area as he tries to turn onto Shaqiri's low cross from the right. The referee says no deal.

46'

Muller kicks off as Bayern attack the goal to the right.

45'

No added time, and it is Bayer Leverkusen 1-1 Bayern Munich at half-time at the BayArena. Toni Kroos opened the scoring for Bayern, but Sidney Sam levelled immediately.

43'

Toprak heads clear under pressure from Schweinsteiger, from Shaqiri's cross from the right.

42'

Lars Bender does well to tackle Ribery down the left. Donati definitely needs the help, as he is really struggling.

41'

Sam's goal was only the third conceded by Bayern Munich in the league this year.

39'

Ribery takes a corner and bumps into a bald man he knows at the corner flag, and gives him a handshake. That was strange - I wonder who that was. He was wearing civvies rather than a kit, anyway..

38'

Shaqiri drops the shoulder on Spahic but his left-footed shot is beaten out rather unconvincingly by Leno.

37'

Muller is off balance as he runs back onto Alaba's cross from the left, and his volley sails over.

35'

Lahm wins the ball in midfield, but Ribery's expansive ball to Rafinha across the area is cut out.

34'

WHAT A MISS! Alaba bombs up 40 yards to get into the attack, but his cross from the left from Ribery's pass is headed over at close range by Muller.

33'

Can concedes a free-kick by pushing Shaqiri down the left channel.

32'

Bayern win a free-kick on the left but Kroos' cross is right at the defender.

30'

An immediate response and it is Bayern Munich 1-1 Bayer Leverkusen. Neuer makes a fine stop after getting a touch on Bender's cross from the right, but Sidney Sam is then able to pass the loose ball into an empty net.

29'

GOAL: It was coming - Ribery beats Donati down the left and cuts the ball back for Toni Kroos to stroke the ball into the top corner from 15 yards.

28'

Donati finally gets in a tackle in Ribery down the Munich left - it is a good one as well as the Italian leaves Ribery on the floor.

26'

Leverkusen break but Kiessling's first touch is dreadful and the ball runs out of play.
