Raul Jimenez replaces Mitroglu for Benfica, while Kingsley Coman comes on for Costa for Bayern Munich.

Jardel is across to make another good challenge on Muller down the left channel. Bayern have a corner, which Ribery takes short and nothing comes of it.

The fans of both sides are in good voice now - trying to add spice to what has been a rather disappointing match so far.
66'
Vidal is well offside as he runs past the Benfica backline onto Thiago's pass.
65'
Benfica have defended well, but that was a rare chance for Jonas, and what a crucial away goal that would have been.
63'
CHANCE: Jonas shoots over at the second attempt after Martinez saves the initial shot with his chest following Almeida's cross down the right.
62'
Gaitan wins a free-kick for a foul by Vidal - the Chilean rottweiler looks suitably unimpressed at the decision.

SAVE: Jonas turns his defender Alaba and shoots from Sanches' flick but Neuer is down to save.
54'
Lindelof heads clear a Ribery cross from the left - both the Swede and his defensive partner Jardel have been impressive tonight.
53'
Brave defending from Jardel, who gets his head in the way of a Costa piledriver. Guardiola gives advice to the Brazilian on the touchline as Jardel gets treatment.
52'
Fejsa, doggedly chasing Ribery all evening, does well to intercept an attempted reverse pass to Lewandowski.
51'
Bayern fans in fine voice, with their side holding on to the ball easily in midfield.
