Half-time: Werder Bremen 0-2 Bayern Munich

Werder Bremen were always likely to have their work cut out in stopping a Bayern side that scored 15 goals in their two previous matches. The visitors have been brilliantly dominant, with a Michael Olise goal and superb assist from the Frenchman for Musiala's second giving Bayern a richly deserved lead at the break.
