Full time: Manchester City 1-3 Bayern Munich (UEFA Champions League)
Bayern Munich claim a superb 3-1 victory over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in Wednesday's UEFA Champions League clash
Published in Ahram Online on 02 - 10 - 2013

The referee blows his final whistle, Manchester City 1-3 Bayern Munich
90 The referee adds three minutes of stoppage time.
89 City waste a golden chance to score a second goal! It's Negredo again. He towers to head a cross just wide.
86 David Silva's ensuing free-kick strikes the bar!! City are unlucky in the dying minutes.
86 Bayern Munich's Jerome Boateng is sent off for a last-man foul on Yaya Toure!! A free-kick is awarded for City on the edge of the area.
84 Bayern make another substitution, Mario Goetze replaces Franck Ribery, who scored the first goal.
80 Negredo superbly turns and fires a fierce, curling drive from the edge of the area that leaves Neuer with no chance. Can City stage a remarkable comeback in the last 10 minutes?
80 GOOOOOOOAL FOR MAN CITY!!
78 Arjen Robben, who produced a superb display tonight, is replaced by Xherdan Shaqiri.
76 At the other end, Neuer blocks a superb shot from Milner.
76 What a chance for Bayern!! A powerful shot by Mueller cannons off the post from inside the area. City are lucky not to concede a fourth goal.
74 Ribery makes a darting run following a breakaway but his subsequent shot is collected by Hart.
71 City make a double substitution. James Milner replaces Samir Nasri and David Silva comes on instead of Aguero.
70 Man City winger Samir Nasri receives a yellow card for a challenge on an opponent.
67 Bayern are still pouring forward en masse. A disjointed City side are finding it difficult to contain Bayern's lively forwards.
63 Mueller is found by a superb back-heel from Robben but his shot is blocked by Hart. Bayern look likely to add to their tally.
62 Bayern are running riot in the second half. City will be looking to save their face rather than restoring parity.
60 Arjen Robben adds the third in superb fashion! He weaves his way past the City defence and his shot finds the near post.
60 GOOOOOOAL FOR BAYERN MUNICH!!
56 Tomas Mueller adds the second for Bayern. He escapes the attention of his marker to control a superb cross-field pass from Alaba, a delicate tough takes him past keeper Joe Hart before slotting into an empty net.
56 GOOOOOOOAL FOR BAYERN MUNICH!!
53 Robben goes close at the other end! His curling, low effort goes just wide from the edge of the area.
50 City are awarded successive corner kicks. However, they are yet to create any clear-cut chance.
48 City are coming out with all guns blazing in the second half. Can they score an equaliser?
47 Following a corner, City full-back Micah Richards attempts a bicycle kick but his mis-hit effort goes wide.
The second half is underway
The referee blows his half-time whistle, Manchester City 0-1 Bayern Munich
45 Bayern's Toni Kroos also receives a yellow card for bringing down Sergio Aguero.
42 City forward Sergio Aguero is booked for a reckless challenge on Rafinha.
39 It's a one-way traffic. Bayern are still in total control.
35 Bayern is awarded a free-kick on the edge of the area but Schweinsteiger's effort strikes the wall.
32 Alaba almost adds the second! The overlapping Austrian runs onto a deft pass from Ribery and cuts inside. His initial shot from a tight angle is palmed by Joe Hart and his follow-up effort is headed by a defender into the keeper's hands.
31 Another chance for Bayern! Robben eludes his challenger on the right hand side of the penalty area but plays the ball across the six-yard box. The chance goes begging.
30 It's the same story in the second quarter of an hour. Bayern have the better possession and look likely to double their advantage. City's tame efforts hardly trouble the Bavarians.
26 Ribery skips past Richards and sends in a cross that is cleared by the defence. Richards is given torrid time on City's right flank.
23 Every time City move towards Bayern's area, they are obstructed by a tight backline supported by a crowd of midfielders.
21 Bayern are still taking the game to City. The hosts are completely outplayed.
17 Alaba is still causing City's fragile backline all sorts of problems. He dribbles past his marker on the left and sends in a cross that is cleared into the path of Toni Kroos, whose follow-up shot narrowly misses the target.
15 Bayern were in total control in the first quarter of an hour, taking a deserved lead in the process. They are still keeping City defenders on their toes as the hosts struggle to get the ball out of their own half.
13 City are still struggling to muster any chances. Their efforts are cut short in midfield.
10 Bayern still have the upper hand after taking the lead.
7 French winger Franck Ribery puts Bayern ahead in style! He cuts inside his marker and lets fly from distance. His shot bounces in front of City keeper Joe Hart and loops past him into the net.
7 GOOOOOOOOAL FOR BAYERN MUNICH!!
5 At the other end, a tame header from City full-back Micah Richards is easily collected by Bayern keeper Manuel Neuer. Promising early minutes.
3 Bayern create the first chance though! David Alaba's cross from the left finds the unmarked Arjen Robben but his looping header misses the target.
2 City are roared on by a passionate crowd at the Etihad Stadium as they look to take an initiative.
The match is underway
19:50 Bayern Munich's starting line-up: Manuel Neuer, Rafinha, Dante, Jerome Boateng, David Alaba, Philipp Lahm, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Toni Kroos, Tomas Mueller, Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery
19:45 Manchester City's starting line-up: Joe Hart, Micah Richards, Vincent Kompany, Matija Nastasic, Gael Clichy, Samir Nasri, Jesus Navas, Fernandinho, Yaya Toure, Eden Dzeko, Sergio Aguero
18:30 Bayern coach Pep Guardiola: "No matter which team he [Pellegrini] is training ... his teams always play the same way. His trademark in his team is always there."
"It's always a pleasure to play against Manuel because he loves to play football. It will be a good test for both teams."
18:00 Man City coach Manuel Pellegrini: "It is very difficult at this moment to improve with Bayern because they won the last three competitions, but he (Guardiola) will find a way because he is a very good manager."
"He knows the way we play, so he will try different things. But we know things about Guardiola, too. I lived in Spain nine years so I know exactly the way Guardiola plays."
16:20 Guardiola, who won 14 trophies in four seasons in charge of Barcelona, said recently that he is certain that Bayern Munich will put in a good performance against Manchester.
15:50 Pellegrini's opening weeks in charge of Man City have been far from smooth with two defeats in their opening six Premier League games.
15:30 Bayern lost to City two years ago when they had already qualified for the last 16 and defender Jerome Boateng, formerly of City, believes under Pellegrini the Premier League side can be even more of a threat in Europe.
Manchester City and Bayern Munich face off at the Etihad Stadium in an intriguing Champions League clash.
Both sides registered opening victories in Group D, with City beating Viktoria Plzen 3-0 and title holders Bayern claiming a home win over CSKA Moscow with the same score line.
