FT Hertha Berlin 0-1 Bayern Munich

CHANCE! Another chance goes begging for Bayern as Schweinsteiger plays in Lewandowski, but the Pole's chipped effort is saved well by Kraft.

Brooks gets forward from right-back but blazes his shot over. Chance after chance for both sides here, but somehow it's still 1-0.

Guardiola looks perplexed on the bench as Bayern spurn another chance in front of goal. They've not been at their ruthless best today.

CHANCE! Big miss by Lewandowski, who is played in by Robben but cannot dig the ball out from under his feet and Kraft comes out to make a good save.

Bayern sub: Schweinsteiger on, Mueller off.

Hosagai into the book for a foul on Ribery. The first booking of the game.

The substitute has his first touch since coming on, but it's a hooked shot that flies well over the bar.

Hertha sub: Haraguchi on, Stocker off.

Hertha still causing Bayern some issues here and the champions won't be settled until they have that second goal here.

At the other end, a chance for Lewandowski but Hegeler does just enough to put the Pole off.

Ronny goes for goal direct from the free-kick and it's a powerful low shot that Neuer spills initially, but recovers to claim at the second time of asking.

Rode protests his innocence after a free-kick goes against him for a foul on Stocker. Looked harsh, it must be said.

Boateng takes a hit to the mouth and is receiving treatment off the field for a cut lip.

The Hertha subs combine immediately an almost get the equaliser! Ronny fires a low cross in from the right and Kalou, who throws himself at the ball, can't quite make contact.

Bayern sub: Rode on, Goetze off.

Hertha sub: Kalou & Ronny on, Ben-Hatira & Schieber off.

Bayern look a little rattled here and some pushing a shoving has broken out after a Ndjeng chops Ribery down in, let's say, emphatic fashion.

GOAL! Hosagai turns the ball in for Hertha from close range but... the Hertha forward is flagged offside!
