6th minute: Lionel Messi takes the corner and Sven Bender gets on the end of it! GOAL However, the assistant referee has his flag up for a foul from Bender on Arbeloa. Free kick to Team Rocket. Bender is booked for his troubles.
13th minute: We're now up the other end of the pitch and more trouble comes from a corner. This time taken for Christian Eriksen for Team Rocket. It's swung in to Bastian Schweinsteiger who is unmarked and he piledrives a header in past the near post. Poor marking from Coentrao and Villa at the front post. GOAL
19th minute: Thomas Muller gives the ball away for the Dwarfs inside the Team Rocket half. Lucas Leiva then launches an incisive counter attack with contributions from Hatem Ben Arfa and Yaya Toure. But the ball finds itself out to Bastian Schewinsteiger who whips it into the box invitingly. Reina can only parry and Yaya Toure gets onto the loose ball, before he is crushed by Holger Badstuber in the scramble that this results in. The referee has seen enough. PENALTY
19th minute: And Schweinsteiger steps up to take it. Big chance for him to put his team well ahead and stake a big claim for the MOTM award, only 20 minutes in... SAVED!
33rd minute: Lucas Leiva again with the intercept - he's been fantastic today. And he finds Mario Gomez who takes two defenders before playing a simple pass to Christian Eriksen who has found space due to Gomez's drawing of the men. A simple finish for the Dane. GOAL
