9'
More good movement from Bayern and plenty of space on the right for Costa but his cross is disappointing and comfortably dealt with.
8'
Shot from Costa from the right and it is on target but a fairly comfortable save for Benaglio.

6'
Cross from Caligiuri is too close to Neuer and the Bayern keeper claims fairly comfortably. A measured start to this one.
5'
Gustavo penalised for a challenge on Goetze. Slightly harsh. An offside gives possession back to Wolfsburg.
4'
A decent start from Wolfsburg, passing it around with confidence and keeping the ball. Not an easy thing to do in the Allianz.
3'
Costa playing wide right in that Robben role and Muller playing as a centre forward tonight. Early foul from Costa and a first free kick to Wolfsburg.
2'
Wolfsburg have lost 20 and drawn only one in Munich over the years. Will it be different tonight?

Hecking on Dost: "I was pleased for the team that he scored twice, but the way he has been sauntering around here these past few days is egotism and we don't need that here. If somebody strolls around for three days as if somebody has taken his toy away then he's got to reconsider his attitude. I'm going to leave him alone for three days, just like he did with the team. Then we will be able to see whether it's a good idea [to start him] or not, whether we should talk about it or not or whether he goes public with his frustration. If he thinks that is the right way, then he's in the wrong place in Wolfsburg.''
18.40
The big pre-match news is that Robert Lewandowski has to settle for a place on the bench for Bayern, as does Nicklas Bendtner for Wolfsburg. Bas Dost does start up front despite venting his fury at being substituted during Wolfsburg's 1-0 victory over CSKA Moscow in the Champions League
