Play by play
- 92'
FULL-TIME: A deserved win for the home side. Juve were very poor, and Bayern did enough in the first half to ensure that they go in to the reverse fixture in a fortnight's time with a 100 per cent record in the Champions League group stage.
- 91'
Demichelis gives away a needless free-kick. Nedved smashes the ball in to a crowded box; it is only inches from the head of Del Piero, but Kahn is able to punch clear. Surely Juve's last chance.
- 90'
Poor marking from Bayern allowed Ibrahimovic to score from inside the six-yard box. It is the first goal Bayern have conceded in their new stadium.
- 89'
GOAL! Emerson flicks on Del Piero's corner at the near post, and Ibrahimovic is on hand to side-foot home a volley from a couple of yards out. A glimmer of hope for the visitors.
- 88'
Ze Roberto fouls Zambrotta out on the right touchline. Zambrotta takes the free-kick, curling a low cross in to the penalty area, but Juve have only four players forward and Bayern are able to clear.
- 87'
SUB: Scholl replaces Santa Cruz. The veteran midfielder comes on for the closing minutes to help Bayern preserve their lead. He is greeted by huge cheers from the home side.
- 87'
Juve manage to mount a bit of pressure on the Bayern goal, but eventually the home side clear the danger.
- 86'
Del Piero sends the corner out to the edge of the Bayern penalty area. Emerson shows good composure to bring the ball down and prod a shot goalwards, but Kahn makes an outstanding reflex save. Another corner.
- 85'
Del Piero fires a free-kick in to the penalty area, but Demichelis, outstanding tonight, clears the danger. Corner.
- 84'
Bayern prepare to make their second change of the evening.
- 83'
Ismael needs some treatment after a collision with Zambrotta. He tests his knee out on the sidelines, but is soon back in the action.
- 82'
Oooh! Makaay really should have broken his scoring drought as he latches on to Ibrahimovic's sliced clearance but smashes his shot straight at the legs of Abbiati from just six yards out.
- 81'
Ibrahimovic concedes another foul, but again avoids a booking.
- 80'
Demichelis makes a rare run forward in to the edge of the area. He lays the ball back to Makaay, but his right-foot shot flies a foot or so over Abbiati's bar.
- 79'
The pace of the game has slowed considerably in the last few minutes; Bayern know they just have to play sensible football to see this game out, and Juve appear to have all-but given the match up as a bad job.
- 78'
Bayern Munich have played well this evening, but the result is more down to Juventus playing so poorly.
- 77'
Mutu loses Ballack and rises highest at the corner, but he plants his header well wide of the post. Goalkick.
- 76'
Juve break down the other end, through Nedved; he chips a left-foot cross towards the back post where Del Piero waits, but Schweinsteiger spots the danger and heads out for a corner.
- 75'
Cannavaro makes a strong challenge on the edge of the area as he dives in and gets the ball off Ballack.
- 74'
Ballack wins a header from the corner, but this time Juve have a couple of men on the goal-line and hoof the ball clear.
- 73'
Sagnol overlaps down the right-hand side and sends over a low cross; Thuram slides in at the near post and almost puts the ball in to his own net. Corner.
- 72'
Thuram is pressured in to a woeful backpass towards Abbiati, and the goalkeeper is forced to put the ball out for a throw.
- 71'
Zambrotta gets forward down the right-hand side, but his cross is dreadfully over-hit and runs out for a goalkick.
- 70'
Oooh! Ze Roberto sends a low cross in to the middle, where Santa Cruz lays a great pass back in to the path of Schweinsteiger. The youngster spots a gap at the far post, but Abbiati reads his intentions and makes a comfortable save.
- 69'
These two sides meet again in a fortnight's time, in Turin. Juve will be looking to get their revenge in that game, and get back on course for the knock-out rounds.
