49'

Robert Lewandowski scores his 133rd Bundesliga goal to join Giovane Élber in second place on the all-time Bundesliga 'foreign' top scorer list. Only Claudio Pizarro (190) has more.

48'

Changes at the break for both teams: Franck Ribéry replaces Arjen Robben for the home side, Dominik Kaiser replaces Naby Keita for Leipzig, whose sole aim here must be damage limitation.

47'

Lewandowski converts the penalty for a 3-0 lead.

46'

Off we go then for the second half in this top of the table meeting between Germany's leading two clubs. A 3-0 lead for the home side. Who'd be Leipzig in this second half with a beating on the card?

45+1'

One minute of time added to the first half. And there goes the whistle for the break. 3-0 to the home side, who could score a few more in the second half.

45'

GOAL! Lewandowski sends the keeper Peter Gulacsi the wrong way from the spot. It is a 3-0 lead to Bayern, who have secured victory in the first half of a one-sided match.

44'

PENALTY TO BAYERN! Peter Gulacsi races out of goal, connects with Costa late. And that is a penalty all day and night long.

43'

For the first time in Bundesliga history two players from Spain have scored for one side in a single match.

42'

Costa slides the ball to Lewandowski after giving Bernardo the slip, but the Poland forward drives the ball a few yards wide. Never really connected with the effort.

41'

Yussuf Poulsen taken out of the action a tad late by Alonso. Bayern quicker to the ball, and have more intent in their play too.

40'

So much time and space for Bayern due to the Forsberg red card. Hummels throws in a dodgy one with a pass that flies right out of play. Poor Mats.

39'

Almost like a training ground session this one. Bayern just moving the ball about with so much ease. Leipzig would probably accept this scoreline at full-time.

38'

37'

This graphic is in German, but you get the message loud and clear.

36'

Bayern up to seven shots, with Leipzig on three efforts but a man down with 10 minutes left before the break.

35'

Xabi Alonso has scored his fifth Bundesliga goal and his first from inside the box.

34'

Only Robert Lewandowski (78) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (70) have scored more BL goals since the start of 2013/14 than Anthony Modeste (47, Thomas Müller also 47).

33'

Really just a case of how many it is going to be for the home side. Leipzig's chances probably disappeared down the tunnel with Forsberg.

32'

Keita has been booked for a thumping challenge on Hummels. Really silly stuff from Keita, who picks up a yellow card. Bayern on easy street.
