Bayern make hard work of Benfica in slender victory

A solitary Jamal Musiala header proved enough for Bayern Munich in a laboured home win against Benfica.

Transcript

00:00Bayern Munich sought to bounce back from a 4-1 defeat to Barcelona as they hosted Benfica.

00:05Harry Kane!

00:07Pretty straightforward for Trubin in the end.

00:10But the German giants rarely threatened in a cagey first half.

00:14He's whipped that in well, if a Meccano rising couldn't get there.

00:17Kane's onto it, and got it on target.

00:19Trubin half-deals with it.

00:21Musiala back in, and then Gnabry's strike is repelled.

00:25Early in the second half, Vincent Kompany turned to Leroy Sané to replace the ineffectual Michael Alisse.

00:31And Sané immediately injected energy into a lacklustre Bayern attack.

00:41And it was Sané's cross that led to a belated Bayern breakthrough.

00:56They have had to be patient.

00:59But their dominance is eventually told.

01:03Jamal Musiala with the opener for Vincent Kompany's side.

01:09Despite outshooting Benfica 24-1, Bayern failed to add to their advantage.

01:15But one was enough as Benfica registered just four touches in the opposition box.

01:20Their lowest total on record in a Champions League match.

01:24Kimmich.

01:26He gave it everything, but didn't get any accuracy.
