COLLINS ROCKET!
Paderborn are not dead yet! Jamilu Collins has just scored the goal of the day, rifling a half-cleared corner past Manuel Neuer from fully 35 yards. That's still travelling! They can't, can they...?

LEWANDOWSKI GOES OUT ON A HIGH
Just as Thomas Müller prepares to entre the fray, Lewandowski brings up his 10th Bundesliga goal of the season. The Bayern striker shows great composure to lift the ball over the advancing Jannik Huth following a fine ball up through the middle from Niklas Süle. He is the first Bayern player to score in the first six games of a Bundesliga season. The league record belongs to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who was on target for Borussia Dortmund in the first eight games of 2015/16.

PRÖGER AGAIN!
Pröger has his tail up, but Neuer has the Paderborn forward's fierce drive covered on this occasion.

PRÖGER MAKES IT 2-1!
Lifeline for Paderborn as substitute Kai Pröger collects from Mohamed Dräger, lashes through the legs of Jerome Boateng and beyond the despairing dive of Manuel Neuer. Bayern should be home and hosed - can Paderborn make the defending champs pay?!
66'
GNABRY HIGH AND WIDE
Alphonso Davies drives forward with purpose once again. His cross is measured to perfection, but Gnabry - caught in two minds - lifts his first-time volley high and wide. In hindsight, he would probably have opted to take a touch - he certainly had the time to do so!

COUTINHO STRIKES AGAIN!
Lovely, lovely goal. Coman finds Kimmich on the edge of the box. The Germany international spots the run of Gnabry, who could score himself with what would have been a carbon copy of his opener, but instead opts to square the ball for Coutinho. No chance of the Brazilian missing from inside the six-yard box. Bayern lead 2-0.
51'
COMAN-DAVIES
Fantastic interchange between Kingsley Coman and Alphonso Davies down the Bayern left. Davies collects a quick pass and bursts away from his marker into the box, but his low cross is hooked behind. Shades of Franck Ribery and David Alaba, there...

BAYERN CHANGES
Alphonso Davies is on at left-back for Lucas Hernandez, while Javi Martinez replaces Thiago in central midfield.

OVER FROM GNABRY!
Lady Luck is on Paderborn's side as Serge Gnabry lofts Robert Lewandowski's miscontrol-turned-lay-off over from just inside the area. Great work from Philippe Coutinho and Kingsley Coman in the build-up.
41'
DOUBLE BAYERN CHANCE
Robert Lewandowski forces a smart save from Jannik Huth. The loose ball is picked up by Coutinho, who shows quick feet before driving wide off a Paderborn defender. Let-off for Paderborn!
32'
COMAN CLOSE!
Kingsley Coman is really enjoying himself this afternoon. The Bayern winger leaves Mohamed Dräger in his wake , before flashing a wicked cross-shot across the face of goal. Paderborn will do well to go in at the break only 1-0 down...
25'
PADERBORN ALMOST LEVEL!
Thiago plays a back pass to Manuel Neuer - or so he thinks. Bayern's captain is out of his goal, and dashes back to watch the ball drop inches wide of the post. That would have been quite the own goal. Kamikazee stuff.
23'
GNABRY ON THE PROWL
Buoyed by scoring his first competitive strike since April, Serge Gnabry has time and space to whip an inviting ball across the Paderborn box. Only a vital interception from debutant Luca Kilian prevents a second Bayern goal.
20'
COUTINHO UNPLAYABLE
Paderborn cannot live with Coutinho. The Barca loanee just took out three players with a sensational turn in the Bayern final third, before slipping in Kingsley Coman down the left. A better cross, and Lewandowski might have been making amends for his earlier gaffe.
18'
THIRD TIME LUCKY - BAYERN LEAD!
Bayern open the scoring, and it has been coming! It's all about Philippe Coutinho's vision to pick out Serge Gnabry, who takes advantage of some uncertain goalkeeping to slot in his first goal of the season. You worry for Paderborn from here...
14'
BAYERN SHOULD SCORE
Philippe Coutinho lifts a belter of a ball over the Paderborn defence for Kingsley Coman. The Frenchman is one-on-one with Jannik Huth and has Serge Gnabry to his right, but succeeds only in lifting the ball over the frame of the goal. Niko Kovac looks on a touch bewildered...
12'
MICHEL EFFORT
A Paderborn free-kick triggers panic in the Bayern box. The ball is cleared only as far as Sven Michel, who fires tamely at Manuel Neuer. He didn't quite connect with that - but a promising sign for the unfancied hosts all the same.
7'
OPEN GOAL!
Robert Lewandowski just missed an open goal. Repeat: Lewandowski MISSED an open goal. A lightning counter sent Serge Gnabry scampering away. The Bayern winger put the ball on a plate for Lewy, who sidefooted wide from roughly six yards out, with Paderborn goalkeeper Jannik Huth in no man's land. Safe to say you probably won't see him do that again.

ODDS AGAINST PADERBORN
Bottom of the table, having shipped 14 goals in five games, it's a huge ask for Paderborn. They've started brightly, though, forcing an ultimately fruitless corner.
Kick-off!
LEWANGOALSKI
Robert Lewandowski has already hit nine goals in five Bundesliga appearances this season. He might have had 10, but for his selfless actions againt Cologne last week. Rather than take a penalty himself, the Poland striker handed the ball to Coutinho and the Brazilian duly dispatched to open his account. Ominously, Lewy has served up four goals in three career meetings with Paderborn...
THE COUTINHO FACTOR
Philippe Coutinho makes his fifth Bundesliga appearance today, and his third start. The Barcelona loanee has registed one goal and one assist in 192 minutes of German top-flight action to date.
“I think that the Bundesliga is very similar to the Premier League in terms of the intensity of the games," he told bundesliga.com this week. "The matches are always very even. Every team fights until the very end, for every single ball. Every ball is war."
