    Incredible Musiala and Olise goals. But 3-0 does rather flatter our performance. Another slow start. First 20 minutes were very dodgy.

    It would be fascinating to see Bayern vs Barca in a Champions League clash. Two team that relentlessly attack the opposition. If it ever happens, I think it will be a game for the ages.

  4. HALF-TIMEpublished at 45 mins

    Bayern Munich 3-0 Union Berlin

    Mercifully for Union Berlin, the first half comes to an end.

    The home side have played some magnificent football and the visitors just do not know how to deal with that electric Bayern front four.

    You'd have to imagine the theme of Mauro Lustrinelli's half-time team talk will revolve heavily around damage limitation.

    Michael Olise (43 mins)

    Another brilliant strike, this time from Michael Olise.

    Jamal Musiala, with his back to goal inside the box, lays the ball back to Olise who whips his effort past Frederik Ronnow's near post and into the back of the net.

    This looks like it could be a VERY long night for Union Berlin.

    Harry Kane - history maker!

    Bayern's talisman makes absolutely no mistake from the spot, sending Frederik Ronnow the wrong way with an emphatic penalty.

    That is Kane's 100th Bundesliga goal in only his 98th game.

    Bayern Munich 1-0 Union Berlin

    It's only a matter of time before Bayern Munich double their lead.

    They've already put the ball in the net a second time, thanks to a lovely chip over an onrushing Frederik Ronnow by Luis Diaz.

    The offside flag mean those celebrations are short lived, as the Colombian just makes his run a split second too soon.

    Meanwhile in Bayern's half, the crowd are brought to their feet by a trademark Manuel Neuer forray out of the penalty area, winning the ball near the centre circle before playing the ball forward.

    Bayern Munich 1-0 Union Berlin

    There is just no way out for Union Berlin here.

    Bayern have them penned into their own half and are looking to double their advantage.

    They almost make it happen, as Jonathan Tah leaps to meet an inviting cross from Joshua Kimmich.

    He angles a powerful header down towards the near post but is denied by a brilliant save from Frederik Ronnow in the Union goal, who gets a strong hand to keep the effort out.

    Bayern break the deadlock and it's a thunderous hit from Jamal Musiala.

    Alphonso Davies does well as Bayern win possession in the Union half, chopping inside on the left wing and laying the ball into the path of Musiala on the edge of the area.

    The German international takes a great touch to get the ball out of his feet before unleashing a rasping strike which arrows into the far corner.

    The champions lead. Will there be more to come?

    If like us, you're wondering why Union Berlin are the team playing in red in Munich rather than Bayern, then you will be interested to learn that the home side have instead opted for their new Oktoberfest kit today - black with a blur of flowers. Are you a fan?

    Unsurprisingly, Bayern have started this game on the front foot and it's Michael Olise who gets the first strike at goal in the game.

    The Frenchman cuts inside from the right as he makes his way to the edge of the penalty area, but opts to try to catch the goalkeeper off guard with a shot towards the near post rather than a whip into the far corner.

    In the end, it's a simple grab for Frederik Ronnow in the Union Berlin goal.

    Union Berlin’s bad start to the new Bundesliga season got worse last Friday night, after losing 3-1 at home to newly promoted Schalke to remain winless after their opening three matches

    They hosted Eintracht Frankfurt in their first match which ended in a 3-3 thriller but then travelled to Bayer Leverkusen where they were on the receiving end of a 4-0 defeat.

    This is Union’s worst start to a Bundesliga season in their history, with no wins from their opening three games and their worst goal difference from these matches.

    Union have been fairly safe in the Bundesliga since their promotion in 2019, having avoided a relegation play-off match in 2022/23 through goal difference. If they are to continue their stay in Germany’s topflight, they need to get a win and soon.

    Bayern Munich have continued their unbeaten run in the Bundesliga, a run that goes back as far as 24th January where they lost 2-1 at home to Augsburg.

    Their start to the new season has seen them dominate Stuttgart 5-1 on the opening day, followed by a frustrating goalless draw away at Schalke. Vincent Kompany's side returned to winning ways last week, with a 2-1 win away to a side playing their first ever season in the German top flight in Elversberg.

    It wasn't plain sailing by any means for the German champions, as the Bundesliga newboys scored to level the game in the second half before Harry Kane did what he does best, scoring the winner to give Vincent Kompany's side all three points.

    That being said, in their third season under Vincent Kompany, Bayern have already started to look dominant again.

    They've held more possession than any other side in the league, an average of 67% across their opening three fixtures, and have had 63 shots - second only to Bayer Leverkusen.

    They will expect to keep up this dominance on tonight and further extend their unbeaten run.

    Good evening and welcome back to another Friday night of Bundesliga action here on the BBC. Our offering this week is a clash between reigning champions Bayern Munich and a struggling Union Berlin.

    This fixture has been played out 15 times across all competitions, with Bayern being unbeaten across all 15 matches, 10 wins and five draws. Bayern go into the match as heavy favourites as they have only ever dropped points in this fixture in Munich once, back in 2021. What’s worse for Union going into today's game, is that they have managed to score fewer goals than there have been fixtures against Bayern.

    On paper, it looks like the visitors are going to need a miracle if they hope to earn their first league win of the season.
