Set-piece breakdown
Reitz scopps Sané up into the air and Bayern have a free kick in an interesting position. Kane and Sané stand over the ball. It's the Bayern striker who connects but he's gone for a pass in what looks like a training-ground move gone bad.

Bayern level
This is a top goal from the hosts. A sweeping move begins with De Ligt feeding Sané. He paces forward before Pavlović and Müller take over with a combination that sends the former through on goal. Pavlović makes no mistake with just Nicolas to beat, the 19-year-old slamming home.

Gladbach ahead
Scenes at the Allianz Arena! Gladbach have been coming into this game little by little and now they've hit the front! Neuer's pass along the floor to Müller in a central position is robbed by Elvedi. He trots forward, plays a one-two with Jordan on the edge of the area and then applies a neat finish in at the near post. The away fans erupt.

A top Bayern build-up is cut short when Neuhaus handles on the edge of the area. Kane places the ball, takes a look at the target, and whips one towards the top corner. Nicolas flies across his goal and puts a finger-tip the the ball, which takes it just over the crossbar. Super save.

Big Sané miss
The defending Bundesliga champions really should be ahead here. Davies nips in to rob possession and immediately feeds Müller in a central position. The Bayern legend slips a pass through for Sané who takes a touch before scooping wide of the far post. You've really got to score those.

'Never again is now!'
Under this slogan, German professional football is commemorating the victims of National Socialism on and around 27 January, the date of liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp. This is the 20th year in which the DFL and the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 clubs have been involved in the “day of commemoration in German football” in cooperation with the “!Nie Wieder” (“!Never Again”) initiative. In light of current events, the day of commemoration around Matchdays 19 and 20 (26–28 January and 2–4 February) will focus on the topic of antisemitism.
