22'
SAVE! Hrádecky is a busy man as he saves Goretzka's effort from the edge of the box. The Leverkusen players sitting back and giving the midfielder plenty of time and space to pick his spot, but he rushes it
20'
SAVE! Hrádecky does well to stop Davies' powerful effort which was heading towards the near post
20'
Bayern now really turning the screw as they take control of the game. Cool in possession and intensely hunting the ball down when they lose it
18'
OFF THE POST! Sane was given too much time and space as he fire his low driving effort from 30 yards out. With Hrádecky beaten it could well be 2-0
15'
With 15 minutes gone, both teams are looking bright, but Bayern have the edge in their transition play as they move up the pitch with a combination of pace and purpose
14'
Excellent work from Sane down the left flank as he drives into the box, twisting and turning before Leverkusen manage to clear the ball away
12'
Both teams showing what they are capable when in possession as they enjoy long spells with the ball
10'
A good opportunity for Leverkusen there, but Amiri's through ball was over hit and the ball runs out of play
8'
Leverkusen now enjoying a decent spell of possession, but Bayern look comfortable to soak up the pressure
6'
It's not the start the hosts were looking for going a goal down within the opening five minutes. They are going to have to find their rhythm quickly to get back into this game
4'
GOAL! 1-0 to Bayern and it's that man Lewandowski with a pure strikers instinct to produce a cheeky back heel as the ball was behind him. What a start!

Referee Sven Jablonski blows his whistle as Leverkusen get the game underway
14:26
Kick-off is less than five minutes away as both sides get ready to make their way out onto the pitch
14:20
Leverkusen coach Seoane made it clear he wants to use today's game as marker of his team's progress “We’re going to take this match as a reference point to see where we currently stand in comparison to the best team in Germany."
14:15
Before the international break Bayern suffered a shock 2-1 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt and will no doubt be keen prove it was just a blip
14:10
Seoane will want to prove his side can mix it with best and set about changing the record against the Bavarians. They have lost their last four encounters, and have just two victories in the last 14 meetings
14:05
All eyes will be on 18-year-old Florian Wirtz who has been instrumental, being directly involved in nearly half (nine) of the team’s 20 goals this term. Picking up four goals and five assists in just six Bundesliga appearances so far this campaign
14:00
Despite already grabbing seven goals this season Lewandowski comes into today's game looking to end his two-game sequence without a Bundesliga goal
13:55
Since taking over in the Summer Gerardo Seoane has overseen sixteen points after seven matchdays which represents the club’s best start to a Bundesliga season in eight years. It is fair to say that the gamble in his appointment has paid off so far.
