Play by play
- 93'
FULL TIME: Bayern will still feel they have the advantage, but Toure's goal has given the Gunner's a chance. A 2-0 win at Highbury in a fortnight's time, and they're through.
- 91'
This time Scholl's control is wayward as Bayern broke dangerously.
- 90'
Three extra minutes to be played. Guerrero's touch lets him down as he bursts on to a through ball. Lehmann flies out and collects.
- 88'
Toure's goal goes some way to atone for his earlier two errors, and has given his side a slim chance of staging one of the great European comebacks.
- 87'
GOAL! Vieira hits the post with a volley after finding some space in a crowded box, Toure pounces on the rebound to fire low past Kahn.
- 85'
A strong Lizarazu challenge gives Arsenal the chance to send a decent ball in to the box.
- 84'
Pires lofts a free-kick in to the box, Cygan heads high and wide.
- 83'
Bayern are enjoying a nice spell of possession as they see out this game. The frustration for Arsenal is palpable.
- 82'
Henry caught off-side as he races on to a Pires through-ball. Another tight decision, well judged by the officials.
- 80'
SUB: Cole on for Cliche. Cole fell ill this afternoon, and didn't feel fit enough to start.
- 78'
Bayern look very solid. They have worked very hard tonight. If I was impressed by that sort of thing, I'd currently be lauding their efficiency and discipline.
- 76'
The game is just going through a quiet period at the moment, which won't suit Arsenal.
- 75'
SUB: Van Persie on, Ljungberg off. Boy, have I got egg on my face.
- 74'
Booking for Lauren. After losing control of the ball, the Arsenal man lunches horribly, two-footed, at Lizarazu. Lucky just to see yellow.
- 73'
SUB: Hargreaves on, Salihamidzic off. The first Englishman to make an appearance.
- 72'
Lovely reversed pass from Scholl gives Salihamidzic the chance to send over a dangerous ball, but Cygan blocks. Corner.
- 71'
Robin Van Persie is stripping off on the bench for Arsenal. I imagine Reyes will be the player replaced.
- 70'
The only thing that could save Arsenal now would be an away goal. And, to be fair, they don't remotely look like getting it.
- 69'
A Reyes free-kick from 25 yards flies narrowly over Kahn's bar. The German 'keeper seemed to have the shot covered.
- 68'
The off-side flag saves Arsenal. Sagnol is found by Makaay in the box; he slams his shot past a bemused Lehmann, but the assistant's flag saves the Gunners.
- 66'
SUB: Pizarro off, Guerrero on. Who is he? He's a young Peruvian striker, with dreadlocked hair and a spunky attitude.
- 64'
I'm in the mood for dishing out some blame, and the third goal was definitely down to Lehmann's misjudgment.
- 63'
GOAL! Frings sends over a cross, Lehmann flaps, Salihamidzic steals in at the far post to volley in to an empty net. Absolutely catastrophic for Arsenal.
- 60'
Reyes finds Lauren in some space, his cross is put out for a corner. Can Arsenal sneak a crucial away goal? Perhaps, but not from this attack: Bayern clear.
- 60'
Two more strong Bayern challenges go unpenalised by the referee; there's a very definite pattern here.
