LIVE: Intensity trumps between Salzburg and Bayern Munich | UEFA...

What a pleasant first half Salzburg and Bayern served us. The intensity exceeded expectations and the same can be said about the number of opportunities. Salzurg took the lead and that was certainly not stolen. But an easy penalty foul and an own goal later, Bayern rests with a lead. And you cannot call that theft either. Both teams had a handful of chances.

In the repetition of the goal, it seems that Lewandowski was offside when he got the ball. It was he who then served Muller, but again the VAR does not budge. It’s a question of doubt.

Bayern once again chooses the perfect time to get to 1-2. The counter again razor-sharp and Müller forces Kristensen with a hard cross to head into his own goal. Otherwise, Tolisso would score.

If a team is currently claiming a second goal, it is Salzburg. The home team plays with incredible eagerness.

A huge opportunity for Bayern! With Coman on the left it goes very fast. He serves Lewandowski, who incomprehensibly ignores the walking Gnabry and goes for his own success. His shot just goes over and in the repetition we see that the ball shoots just in front of the Pool, just pops up. Otherwise, we suspect it reads 1-2.

For the first time, this intense boxing match has calmed down a bit. Salzburg is certainly not the lesser of Bayern. The home team is already on four shots within the framework, Bayern is stuck on one.

A ball from the flank hits Tolisso’s arm. There is certainly no question of intent, but his arm is part of the body. Had we not heard that it is a penalty? Referee Makkalie does not respond and the VAR also remains silent. Strange.

The 20-year-old Hungarian Szoboszlai is a scourge for Pavard. The Frenchman takes yellow for a draw fault. The Hungarian kicks the free kick just a bit too high, but Bayern has his hands full with the young winger.

Lewandowski has no doubts and brings Bayern alongside again. He misleads goalkeeper Stankovic. What a fun match this is.

Salzburg has not learned its lesson and gives away a penalty too easily. This time the VAR will not save them. Muller turns away nicely and Mwepu kicks in with open eyes and makes contact.

The start of the match never disappoints. The intensity is very high and that offers many opportunities. First Gnabry scores from just offside, but the 1-1 is rejected. Immediately afterwards it is almost 2-0 after a header from Ramalho on a corner. Neuer is the savior of duty.

Bayern has warmed up after the early delay and immediately switches three gears higher, but a penalty is rejected by the VAR. The ref saw a mistake by Szoboszlai on Hernandez, the VAR saw it the other way around and is right. Ref Makkelie had to go and have a look.

Bayern at its best: fast and vertical football. Gnabry is the final station and is doing everything right, but defender Ramalho saves just before the line.

It remains Salzburg that takes off on the offensive. A rehearsed free kick also causes unrest at Bayern, but Junuzovic’s shot misses the target.

The match starts with a surprise. Bayern deviates way too much in an attack from Salzburg through the center. Everything is centrally closed well, but the deviated ball falls straight into Berisha’s feet on the side. The attacker does not give Neuer a chance.

The first chance is for the home team. Left back Ulmer has moved high and has no doubts if he has a shooting opportunity from a sharp angle. Salzburg shows guts.

Salzburg has started the competition. We expect a lot of pressure forward and a lot of intensity. Wait and see if Salzburg can put its foot next to Bayern?

There is no underestimation of Salzburg at Bayern Munich, according to the basic team. Bayern starts with its strongest team possible. Goretzka, Süle and Davies are injured. For the rest we see the familiar names. Gnabry is back in the team due to the absence of Goretzka, Boateng replaces Süle and Hernandez replaces Davies on left back. Kimmich and Tolisso play in the center of midfield. Sané is on the couch.
