21'
Grosskreutz has the ball onthe right wing, he puts the ball between defence and keeper, and Neuer does well to get it away.
20'
Bayern are, as you might expect, passing the ball a lot, but have struggled to get behind the Dortmund defence very often.
19'
Durm's cross for Blaszczykowski isn't accurate enough, and Bayern clear and break down th left until Mkhitaryan comes across to put it out of play.
18'
Dortmund have a free kick as Dante fouls Lewandowksi as they challenge for the bal.
16'
It's headed away by Reus, but Bayern win it back, and the whole thing of 400 passes starts again. Mandzukic loses the ball, and then wins it back with a block, earning a throw.
15'
Muller and Robben swap passes and Muller is dispossed at the byline to win a corner.
13'
Mandzukic trips Sokratis as he breaks down the right. A cynical and clever challenge to allow Bayern to regroup.
12'
Dortmund have a little possession but a loose pass gives Bayern the chance to start their business all over again.
11'
A long ball (!) by Bayern Munich on the right drifts out of play. My eyes!
10'
Reus attempts to bring down a pass and burst towards goal, but he can't control it and the defence clear up.
9'
Bayern still in possession, but no clear chances except for Lewandowski so far.
7'
Bayern win another through on the left. They proceed to do what they always do, and keep the ball. Martinez tries to find Mandzukic, but he can't bring it under control.
6'
Robben fires in a cross from the left and Durm clears it out for a throw. Bayern are pressing at every opportunity in Dortmud's half.
5'
Hargreaves has said 'familiarity breeds confidence'. Erm, that's not the saying.
4'
Mkhitaryan crosses from the right, and Lewandowski volleys over from a few yards! What a miss, and he was also wrongly ruled offside.
3'
Robben wins a corner on the left with a tackle from Bender. Krroos' corner is headed away and Bayern win the ball back and keep it in defence.
2'
Owen Hargreaves just describes Bayern as 'arguably one of the best sides in Europe.' Arguably? No chances yet, but Bayern edge possession.
1'
We kick off, and the cool kids get very, very excited. Some of us simply remain calm and very handsome.

17:20
Bayern are on a 37-game unbeaten run. They are, given the injury crisis of Dortmund, likely to be confident of securing victory, or at least a draw, and maintaining that run today.
17:15
In response, Jurgen Klopp signed Manuel Friedrich on a free transfer. The player left Bayer Leverkusen this summer and has not played since last season. He will struggle to adapt in time.
