Bayern finally break the deadlock and it’s Michael Olise who steps up with ice in his veins. Calm as you like, he slots the penalty into the bottom right corner with his left foot. The keeper dives the wrong way, and Bayern lead 1–0 at the Allianz.

The second half kicks off with a burst of energy from Bayern. Luis Diaz darts into the box and unleashes a left-footed shot from close range, but the Lyon keeper is alert and makes the save. Moments later, the flag goes up, Diaz was caught offside. A promising start, but it won’t count.
That’s the end of the first half, no added time, no goals, and not much to separate the two sides. It’s been a cautious 45 minutes with few real chances. Goalless at the break, and both Bayern and Lyon will need to tweak things if they want to spark this game into life after the restart.
Tom Bischof draws a foul in Lyon’s half after a late challenge from Afonso Moreira. Bayern win a free-kick in a promising position, a good chance here to test Lyon’s backline just before the break.
A handball by Georges Mikautadze halts Lyon’s build-up, and Bayern pounce right after. Paul Wanner finds space in the middle, pulls the trigger with his left foot, but it’s smothered by the Lyon defence. Goretzka teed him up nicely, but Les Gones hold firm.
Lyon are starting to see more of the ball now, edging possession with 56% to Bayern’s 44%. Les Gones are growing into the game, moving it around with more confidence, but despite the shift in momentum, we’re still waiting for that first goal to light things up.
That was close. Corentin Tolisso lets fly from outside the box after a neat layoff by Ainsley Maitland-Niles. The shot had power but just bends wide of the left post. A warning shot from Lyon, they’re starting to ask questions now.
Lyon finally try to play their way out of trouble, stringing passes across the pitch in search of a way forward. It’s a bold move under Bayern’s high press, but they’re holding their nerve, for now. No breakthrough yet, but this goalless contest is bubbling with intent.
Bayern Munich are pushing forward with purpose, and Lyon are getting physical trying to stop them, racking up fouls in the process. Free-kicks are stacking up for Bayern, and they’re eyeing that opening goal. The pace is electric out there.
