Osnabruck plug away as Krumrey pumps a long ball forward for Bayern to deal with, but ideas are thin on the ground as we enter the third and final minute of added time.

LAIMER STRAIGHT INTO THE ACTION WITH A SHOT THAT IS BEATEN AWAY!! That was nearly some introduction. He takes the ball on the right and peppers the Osnabruck goal with a fierce shot that is palmed over to safety by Krumrey.

Penalty Goal 1-4
KANE TUCKS AWAY THE PENALTY!! It is Muller who clips the heels of Pavlovic in the box and although he protests vehemently, the referee is confident in his decision. Kane takes a few stuttered steps and buries it in the bottom right corner and out of the reach of Krumrey who guessed correctly but could not reach the ball.

Osnabruck win a free kick in their opponent's half. Instead of making it count, Beck inadvertantly passes the ball out of the play after a miscommunication down the left. The groans are audible for the first time this evening in the crowd. They have been magnificent tonight.

comment
Osnabruck have had just one shot inside the box compared to Bayern's 12. The home side have just not been able to work the ball well enough to create a way through to that Bayern goal and it looks for all the world that die roten will hold on for this win now.

For Osnabruck, it looks as though it will be three losses in three meetings with Bayern as we head into the final quarter of an hour or so. But they can be pleased with their effort this evening. The hosts have not made it plain sailing for Kompany's men.

Goal 1-3
BEAUTIFUL FINISH FROM OLISE!! 3-1 BAYERN!! That is such a cultured finish from an artist of a player. Osnabruck lost possession in their own half and as the last defender attempts to slide in and clear the imminent danger of a lurking Olise, he only succeeds in flicking the ball up off Olise, who had anticipated the challenge and hurdled it. With the wide man striding away with the ball after the attempted tackle, he blindly clips the ball over the onrushing keeper into the opposite corner of the net with his left foot.

comment
Diaz does all of the hard work by showing a quick turn of pace and slight trickery with close control as he drifts inside from the left channel. After all of that, his right foot shot is so wayward, it almost goes out for a throw-in. That typifies the kind of performance put on here by Bayern.

Flags fly frantically behind the goal that Osnabruck are attacking, unfortuantely for them they are in no position at the moment to get close enough to them to appreciate the vociferous support.

comment
Kompany declared this upcoming test as a ‘real battle’ when quizzed on the fixture. He pointed to last year's opener in this competition, saying, ‘Last year, it all started against Wiesbaden, which wasn’t easy. These matches are usually tough.’ He has been proven right on the evidence so far.

Brown a recent signing from Frankfurt comes off with Canadian defender Davies coming on. The Canadian international started the 5-1 demolition of Stuttgart last week, eventually being replaced by Stanisic on 74 minutes. He could see fierce competition for his place especially given the arrival of Brown.

KANE JUST WIDE!! That was typical of Kane who spins and runs towards the back post where he is found but the angle is too acute and his effort is off target.

Muller drops a chipped ball through midfield into Beck who looks for the flcik on towards Badjie, but the header is tired looking and fails to find its target. Are Osnabruck just starting to feel the pace?

Both coaches will surely be thinking about prospective changes of personnel. Bibbed bodies can be seen warming up on the touchline on this mild evening in Germany.

comment
A series of flying tackles in the centre of the pitch serve to highlight the phase of play the match is in, and even when Bayern come away with the ball, the killer pass attempted by Olise is intercepted and cleared well by tonight's hosts.
56'

comment
It has been a relatively comforatble first 10 minutes of the second half from Osnabruck. They will be happy that this game has slowed in terms of intensity, and the longer it becomes a scrappy encounter, the more they will fancy their chances of mounting a grandstand finish to get themselves level.

If Osnabruck were to exit the competition tonight, it would be the third successive season that they have fallen at the first hurdle. They have 36 minutes to change that though.

OLISE CARESSES ONE BUT STRAIGHT AT KRUMREY!! The enigmatic winger had a sight of goal there but he curls a left-footed shot that hunts the far corner but only finds the gloves of Krumrey.
51'
•
comment
Bayern have had a lot of the ball but maybe not the total control they are used to, particularly in the midfield area. Bayern have made bold changes to their squad during the summer with midfielders like Palhinha moving to pastures new, and longstanding German international Goretzka moving on to accommodate the new guard. Goretzka left to join Aston Villa on a free transfer after eight years at the club. It is indicative of the last few years experienced by the midfielder and Kompany’s reluctance to start the stalwart. He was utilised as a substitute for the most part last season.

STRONG CROWD REACTION TO TAH'S TACKLE!! Tah, who has not looked the most assured it has to be said, allows the ball to get away from him before clattering an onrushing Osnabruck player with his studs showing slightly. Lucky to get away with one there.

comment
Kane drops deep to pick up the ball and dink one of those intelligent passes into the channel but it does not come off this time for Bayern. It feels like that is the firt time he has done that tonight and yet he is so good at it. Perhaps Kompany has spoken to the star striker and encouraged him to get more involved with the build-up play.

Osnabruck get this second period back underway.
•
comment
Bayern's lack of flow is exemplified by the stat that shows Kane having only attempted five passes that half. It does not tell the full story as his movement has been very good, but with the hosts having a bank of five and four ahead of them, it is proving difficult for the holders of the trophy to find a way through the congested areas in the Osnabruck half. Bayern did manage an xG of 1.15 during that half, with Osnabruck mustering an xG of just 0.11. Understandably, Bayern's live win probability is at 93.8% whilst Osnabruck's is at a lowly 1.2%

half_time summary
You suspect Kompany will have a few words for his Bayern side who, despite going in 2-1 to the good, have not played with the fluency he is accustomed to. Indeed, Osnabruck stunned the away side taking the lead as early as minute five after poor defending by Kim and Tah allowed Meissner to get strike away. Even when the forward did hit his shot, he was so far out that nobody could have envisaged it swirling and dipping so wickedly over goalkeepeer, Urbig and hitting the back of the net. Since then, it has pretty much been all Bayern, and they got their reward on 18 minutes when Kane – who else – bagged another instinctive goal, capitalising on a pass that was not cleared and beating Krumrey from inside the area. They took the lead shortly after with Bischof eventually the one to pass into the far corner following a parried effort from Diaz inside the area. It has not been vintage Bayern, but they have their noses in front, and it looks a hard road for Osnabruck to navigate now if they are to get something in this cup clash.

Happy with their team's efforts, Osnabruck fans sing loudly, serenading their team into the break just one goal adrift. A late effort from Olise is palmed away and then snatched into his grasp gratefully by Krumrey. That should be the last action of the half.

In a game that has flowed with very few stoppages, we will have two minutes added on at the end of this first half.

For all of their dominance with the ball, Bayern would have hoped for more clear-cut chances. They have somehow only mustered two big chances in the game so far. That will delight Osnabruck coach, Timo Schultz. Can the home side hang on and then come out firing again in the second period?

comment
Urbig navigates a tricky moment as he receives a back pass in a position wide of his goal. He clears well under pressure. He definitely does not want any further horror stories this evening following that wicked effort that beat him all ends up early in this match.

comment
You can see Kane prowling across the back of the Osnabruck centre-backs who must be very unnnerved by his movement. If his teammates can find him with more regualrity, he could feast on goals this evening.
37'

comment
The Osnabruck shape appears to be a bank of five with four infront of them, leaving just Meissner isolated at the top end of the pitch ready to pounce should the ball come his way. It is going to be imperative that he holds up play for others to join as the game progresses.

comment
A long ball from left to right sees an Osnabruck body sneaking in at the back post but Bayern snuff out the danger. At least the hosts are back to pushing their opponents back again. They need to finish the half strong and get the crowd back involved in this contest.

Bayern have had over 70% of possession so far in this encounter, but Osnabruck are still just one goal down and are trying to arrest the recent pattern of play by countering. They win a corner on the Osnabruck left.

comment
Olise and Diaz are dropping into those hard to defend pockets. Almost like two tens buzzing around Kane and as I say that, Diaz fires a shot across the face of the goal area from the right side of the box after ghosting across from his starting position on the left.

Osnabruck have lost their way in the last 10 minutes and are seemingly under constant pressure from this Bayern team now. Wave after wave of attacks are pushing them further back in their own territory. They need an out ball.

KANE JUST OVER VIA A DEFLECTION! He shimmies one way, then the other and dips his shoulder to create a yard on his right foot outside the area. His shot deflects up off the defender and goes over the bar.

comment
The last time Bayern kept a clean sheet in a competitive match was in this very competition back in May as they ran out 3-0 winners in the DFB-Pokal final against Stuttgart. Kane got all three goals in a stunning performance that helped deliver the domestic double. They haven't managed a clean sheet again this evening, but they are ahead.

Goal 1-2
GOAL!! BAYERN 2-1!! This time it is Bischof who puts himself in the right place at the right time to finish after a flurry of shots from Bayern. Bischof was involved in the move with Olise and Diaz who saw his shot repelled before Bischof eventually slotted a shot into the far left corner. Badjie will be disappointed as he succumbed possession in his own half. You can't give away the ball to opponents who have so much quality.

Well, the opening goal was such an unstoppable shot from Meissner, you wonder whether even Neuer would have saved it. Neuer reached the remarkable milestone of 600 appearances for his club when he started in goal for the 5-1 drubbing of Stuttgart last weekend. He is only the fifth player in the club’s history to achieve such a tally after legends, Oliver Kahn, Thomas Muller, Sepp Maier, and Gerd Muller.

FABINSKI SHOT!! STRAIGHT AT URBIG!! That was a chance again for Osnabruck. A long throw from Badjie was flicked on and Fabinski took an instinctive shot from inside the box, but the big keeper got down well to it.

Goal 1-1
GOAL FROM THE OBVIOUS SOURCE!! KANE 1-1!! The stadium falls almost silent as the goal king. It looks initially like Kane chests a long, searching ball expertly as he enters the box, but upon closer inspection, it seems it was a defender's head that pops the ball up for the England striker to crash his volleyed finish past the hapless Krumrey in the Osnabruck goal. It was a great ball and a great finish.

Olise is maintaining the width on the right, but Diaz has started to drift in towards Kane on the opposite flank in a bid to get more involved.

Olise is felled on the right-hand side in a dangerous position but Bayern take the free kick quickly and although it didn't really benefit them in the way they had hoped, they have won a corner on the right. Olise will take with his left fott, inswinging. Tah heads a deep cross back across goal but Stanisic's header towards goal is cleared.
13'
•
comment
The visitors are desperate to get back on level terms here and achieve some parity in the scoreline. Only Tah and Kim are staying back during most attacks. But they did fall foul of dealing with a quick counter-attack for the goal, so they are playing a risky game so early.
11'
•
comment
It is pretty much a back five out of possession for Osnabruck, which you would expect. But they have to remember to spring the counters at every opportunity, otherwise players of creative spark like Badjie and Kammerbauer will end up penned in their own half and less effective.

comment
Olise is being given the ball at every opportunity, it seems. This time the Frenchman feeds Stanisic down the right, who overlaps, but his cross is met by a bleak absence of red shirts and the ironic cheers of Osnabruck fans tell you they have avoided an attack easily.

Bayern players are shellshocked from that start and are trying to establish their dominance in possession. Surely they never expected to be behind so early. If it was possible, it has also enhanced the decibal count from the Osnabruck fans who are buoyant.

Goal 1-0
INCREDIBLE START!! INCREDIBLE FINISH FROM MEISSNER!! 1-0 OSNABRUCK!! Tah and then Kim fail to clear their lines following a simple ball forward. Meissner anticipates well and strikes a crisp volley from way out that loops over the top of Urbig and into the right corner of the net. What a strike that is.

A nice little sequence of play between Beck and Badjie down the Osnabruck left. That could be a fruitful partnership for the hosts if they play it right. Stanisic is getting his opportunity on the right of Bayern's defence and will have to be wary.

comment
Already we see the impudence and silky skill of Olise who flicks down the line for Stanisic. If Osnabruck are going to get anything this evening, it will mean they have kept a very strong attacking quartet out of Diaz, Olise, Saibari and Kane quiet.

team news
The glaring change is that of Neuer who drops to the bench having made his 600th appearance recently for Bayern. He is replaced by Urbig in one of five changes that also sees Upamecano, Laimer, Davies, and Pavlovic make way for Stanisic, Tah, Bischof and Saibari.
•
team news
It is the same 11 that got their first league win of the season last week against Bochum for Osnabruck who surely face a much stiffer test this evening against Vincent Kompany's all stars. Meissner once again carries the threat in attack with Krumreh in the opposite goal to his namesake Urbig.

comment
Bayern got their domestic campaign off to a flying start in the league with a resounding 5-1 win over Stuttgart on matchday one last weekend. In a rare occurrence, Harry Kane was not one of those on the score sheet. Although that is sure to change as he closes in on 100 Bundesliga goals for Die Roten. Bayern hope to take that opening day momentum and put tier two side, VfL Osnabruck to the sword in this DFB Pokal fixture as they bid to retain their title.
•
comment
Last weekend saw Osnabruck manage something that Bayern have failed to do in their last five matches; record a clean sheet. A 1-0 victory over Bochum was very welcome, but perhaps the zero in the goals conceded column was just as pleasing having shipped seven goals in the two matches prior to that in the league. This cup encounter and mighty challenge could provide them with a welcome early distraction from the indifferent start to league proceedings.
