Play by play
- 94'
Full time. That is that and the Fiorentina players go ballistic. The officials have robbed them tonight, and Tom Henning Ovrebo has to be removed from the referee's list as soon as possible, for his own good if nothing else. Still, they have an away goal and the return leg will be an intruiging affair.
- 93'
Now Olic wastes a good chance to cut the ball back as Fiorentina players struggle to contain their rage. Again Robben has a go but Frey saves with his legs this time.
- 93'
Robben again skips past Donadel and crosses but it is right at Frey.
- 92'
Robben skips into the area again but a good tackle from Koldrup denies him a chance on his favoured left boot.
- 91'
Another jink into the area from Robben but the angle is too tight and he can only hit side netting from a yard from the byline.
- 90'
Vargas is booked for his preotest but you have to feel for Fiorentina. That linesman sent off one of their players unjustly, now he has missed such a blatant offside it is untrue. He was looking right down the line at it.
- 89'
Robben again is the main man. He cuts inside and shoots, Olic tries to turn in the rebound but it skews sideways to Klose, who is two yards offside but no flag goes up. Incredible!
- 89'
GOAL! Klose!
- 88'
What a miss! Lahm gets into the area and has a wealth of options, he pulls it back where Olic and Van Bommel get in each other's way but the Croatian blasts it over from 12 yards.
- 87'
Another Robben effort, another block, another corner.
- 85'
Robben cuts in and stands up a ball for Klose but Frey is out fast as lightning to grab it and snuff out the danger.
- 84'
Fiorentina's last change: Natali comes off and Pasqual comes on.
- 83'
Donadel is coming on for Montilivo. The stats flash up to show us he's covered 10km tonight. Not bad.
- 81'
Conteno's cross is inviting but Klose and Olic get in each other's way. Shoddy.
- 80'
Robben swaps passes with Klose and hits one but Montilivo had tracked him and blocked the shot well.
- 79'
Robben's ball to the far post was good but no-one was there. Marchionni chests behind when he should have let it go. The corner comes to nothing.
- 78'
Another passage of pitiful football as Fiorentina give the ball away then Lahm knocks a simple pass right out of play.
- 77'
Klose has now gone in horribly late on Felipe with his studs up and he gets a yellow. Obviously a different set of rules apply for Bayern.
- 76'
Marchionni now gets a yellow card after a tackle on Van Bommel. That was also ridiculous. Viola are furious with our esteemed referee.
- 75'
Frey does well to punch away a looping ball in the area. Balls are flying into the Fiorentina box now.
- 74'
This will be backs to the wall stuff for Fiorentina now, and they make a change: Jovetic is off and Felipe comes on.
- 73'
Ridiculous. An awful decision from Ovrebo. Gobbi turned after Robben knocked the ball past him and had an arm out but there was no intent there and the italians are stunned when a red card is produced. Robben, of course, made the most of it.
- 72'
Jovetic's run is cut short by a good Van Bommel challenge then Robben takes a massive dive and Gobbi gets a straight red.
- 71'
Olic has looked very lively and he combines with Ribery to win a corner.
- 70'
Viola hit back with a shot from Marchionni but Butt handles comfortably.
