Wonderful clearance from Cisovsky! Lahm was in and pushed it past the goalkeeper, only to see the defender extend a leg and clear. Almost Lahm's first ever CL goal.
48'
Schweinsteiger shows the first signs of frustration, unhappy at Gotze for not showing an option. He has a point.
47'
Pattern very much resumed here, and we pick up where we left off, Bayern dominating possession and territory.
46'
No changes in personnel at half-time, I should report.

Back underway in Plzen. The Czech champions are holding the champions of Germany and Europe. How long can they continue to do so?
Why not get in touch with me on Twitter @danielstorey85 with your thoughts on the half. Worried about an accumulator or just impressed by the Czech side?
And that's HALF-TIME. Well, well, in a match that promised to be completely one-sided the first half has been a rather more close affair. Bayern have had much more of the ball and shots, but Kozacik has not yet been forced into a mightily difficult save. Pep Guardiola will demand much more during the second half.

Wonderful ball across goal from Rafinha, just out of reach from the incoming Muller. From the next move Gotze gets a weak shot at Kozacik.
44'
Excellent goalkeeping from Neuer. Petrzela looked to be through but the German flew off his line to head the ball clear.
43'
Duris shoots from fully 35 yards. Can understand his eagerness, but his coach does not look impressed, throwing up his arms in frustration.
42'
Mario Gotze has seen a lot of the ball, but his crosses have too often hit the first man.
40'
In the last 15 minutes the home side have begun to give away a few fouls in their own third. Will be punished soo, you feel.
39'
Alaba gets in behind, but as he nears the touchline loses his footing and the chance is gone. Bad time to slip.
38'
It's truly amazing how much noise 11,000 people can make when they're freezing and their team is performing above expectation!
38'
Tecl then wins a corner - they're finishing the half rather brightly and the fans have found their voice.

Huge chance for Plzen. Kolar meets a cross from the left with his head. Should do so much better but it goes over.
35'
Kroos strikes and Kozacik is forced to make a diving stop. Can't hold it, but did enough.
34'
It must be said that the Bayern fans in the small away enclosure are bouncing, seemingly perfectly content at the lack of goals so far.
33'
Whilst Bayern have been impressive in possession, the final ball has often been too near the goalkeeper, and Pavel Vrba should be very happy with the half so far.

First booking, and it's for Hubnik. Holds back Gotze as the forward looked to get away.
