Simple as you like. Kimmich with the corner, Tel nods in. The Bayern fans in the corner erupt. Is that a late winner for the visitors?
Goal probability
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.

Incredible Nicolas
Choupo-Moting's pass is deflected into the path of Sane, who fires at goal from point-bank range. Nicolas makes one more massive save and although the linesman's flag was up, that shouldn't take away from the Gladbach keeper's efforts there. Immense.

Bayern are level
The away side ping it about a bit in the final third. The ball reaches Kimmich, who dinks a pass in for Sane. The attacker takes it on his chest and swings his leg wildly. The ball connects with Sane's studs and flies past Nicolas. Not the tidiest of finishes but Sane won't care: that's three goals in three games for the Bayern man.

Tuchel: "Bayern favourites"
Thomas Tuchel jokingly commented, "We don't believe in runs when they go against us," when asked about his side's inability to get the better of Gladbach in recent times. Striking a more serious tone, the Bayern tactician added, "We go to Gladbach as favourites and want to win. We want to build on our game against Bremen and the second half against Augsburg."
