Camara is booked for showing dissent towards the referee.
Salzburg play a late corner short but Adeyemi fires his cross over everybody and out for a Bayern goal kick.
90' +2
A foul by Adeyemi on Martinez in midfield just alleviates some of the pressure on Bayern Munich. That was a silly foul to give away by the Salzburg substitute.
90'
There'll be a minimum of 6 minutes of added time played by the referee.
89'
Salzburg get another dangerous free kick just outside the Bayern penalty area. This time Berisha takes but his right-footed shot from 30 yards is high and wide.
87'
Bayern grab another corner but Ramalho clears the danger with his head. They’ll be plenty of added time here though following that earlier VAR check but maybe not enough for Salzburg to get back into this Champions League clash.
83'
Boss Hansi Flick will be looking for his experienced players to stand up and see this win out for the hosts. His move to bring on Martinez for the final ten minutes adds a lot of experience to his side’s defence.
81'
It’s now or never for Salzburg if they want something from this match. Ulmer has a shot from 15 yards out, but his right-footed effort is straight at Neuer.
79'
Javi Martínez enters the game and replaces C. Richards.
Martinez also replaces Richards at the same time. Another great performance from the young American defender who played at both left-back and right-back tonight.
78'
Douglas Costa enters the game and replaces K. Coman.
Douglas Costa is going to join the fun for the final 15 minutes of play as Coman leaves the field.

Description
73'
M. Berisha has scored a goal for Salzburg! Assist by R. Kristensen.
GOOOOOAAAALLLLL!!! 3-1 AND SALZBURG GET ONE BACK. BERISHA!!!! Kristensen plays a lovely ball in from the right and the German striker pounces from close range to pull one back for the visitors. There was a very long VAR check to see if the forward was offside, but the goal is given.
It was a fantastic cross from Kristensen who laid it on a plate for Berisha.
72'
M. Ashimeru enters the game and replaces E. Mwepu.
Ashimeru comes on at the same time for the visitors to replace Mwepu.
71'
K. Adeyemi enters the game and replaces Z. Junuzović.
L. Sučić enters the game and replaces D. Szoboszlai.
Junuzovic departs with Adeyemi taking his place in midfield.
It's a Champions League debut for Sucic who replaces Szoboszlai.
68'
L. Sané has scored a goal for Bayern Munich! Assist by K. Coman.
GOOOOAAAALLLL!!!! 3-0 TO BAYERN. SANE!!!! Bayern take the game away from Salzburg with a lovely team goal. Lewandowski plays a ball out wide to Coman on the left who delivers a ball to the back stick at the first time of asking. Sane is charging into the box, jumps highest and slots his header into the bottom right corner of Stankovic’s net from ten yards out.
A lovely floated cross from Coman for the assist.
66'
Marc Roca gets a second yellow card and is sent off.
ROCA IS OFF!!! The central midfielder recieves a second yellow card and his marching orders for a late challenge on Junuzovic. That could be a game changer!
65'
The joint introduction of Sane and Hernandez down the left is already causing problems for Salzburg. The pair look full of pace and have already linked up well a few times.
63'
L. Hernández enters the game and replaces B. Pavard.
Hernandez also comes on for Pavard at the same time. The French defender is quickly pulled from the action following that late challenge from Koita minutes ago.
62'
L. Sané enters the game and replaces S. Gnabry.
A first change of the evening is made as Sane replaces Gnabry for Bayern.
60'
Sane is getting ready to come on for the hosts. Gnabry and Coman haven’t been at their best tonight and the former Manchester City winger could add some much-needed pace upfront for Bayern.
58'
S. Koïta gets yellow.
It’s just not happening in the final third tonight for Salzburg. The Austrian side have looked lively again in the opening ten minutes of this second half, but their final ball just isn’t quite good enough.
Koita is booked for a late tackle. That’s a painful one for Pavard as Koita falls on his trailing foot after going up for an aerial challenge.
55'
Again, Salzburg respond well and keep hold of the possession. Szoboszlai shoots from distance but his effort from 25 yards isn’t troubling Neuer who watches it past his near post.
52'
K. Coman has scored a goal for Bayern Munich! Assist by L. Goretzka.
GOOOOAALLLLL!!! 2-0 TO BAYERN. COMAN!!!! The German champions double their lead. Goretzka wins the ball and plays a pass out wide to Coman. The French winger comes inside from the left and shoots with his right from 25 yards out. His effort is goal bound but a huge deflection from Wober sends it past a helpless Stankovic in net.
Assist Leon Goretzka
51'
Salzburg get a dangerous free kick on the edge of the Bayern area as Pavard fells Mwepu. Szoboszlai steps up but his right-footed effort from 25 yards is well over.
49'
Roca gets a yellow for stomping on Junuzovic's foot. The Spaniard didn't mean to but that'll be a sore one for the Austrian midfielder.
48'
Marc Roca gets yellow.
With the score remaining goalless in Madrid between Atletico and Lokomotiv Moscow, Salzburg have currently dropped to the bottom of Group A. They need to turn this match around tonight if they have any aspirations of making the Champions League first knock-out round.
46'
The players are back on the field and the second half begins. No changes for either side at the break!
45' +1
HALF-TIME: BAYERN MUNICH 1-0 SALZBURG.
45'
Salzburg respond with a chance of their own but Koita’s shot is right down the throat of Neuer who collects.
42'
R. Lewandowski has scored a goal for Bayern Munich!
GOOOOOAAAALLLL!!! 1-0 TO BAYERN. LEWANDOWSKI!!!! A goal somewhat against the run of play. Muller plays a one-two with the Polish striker on the edge of the Salzburg penalty area and shoots from 30 yards. Stankovic keeps out the effort but can only parry and there's Lewandowski in the right place at the right time to convert from close range.
39'
It’s really not been a fantastic performance from Bayern in this first half. Their play has been slow and nowhere near their usual high standard. The visitors have played the better football overall and definitely should be ahead.
37'
Junuzovic has been fantastic for the visitors so far tonight. The Austrian midfielder is keen to put in a big tackle when needed but also has the capability to link up the play from his midfield position. His inclusion tonight is proving to be a huge boost for Salzburg.
33'
Salzburg are pressing the ball at every opportunity so far tonight. The Austrian outfit are putting pressure on the Bayern back line when they have the ball and Koita and Berisha in particular are looking to force a mistake.
31'
Goretzka shoots from distance but his effort is blocked by Wober. Another Bayern corner to follow.
27'
Szoboszlai does take the free kick but his cross is cleared by the head of Gnabry. Ulmer shoots from 30 yards out first time but his left-footed effort is weak and rolls out for a Bayern goalkick.
26'
Salzburg grab a free kick on the right wing in a dangerous position. It looks like Szoboszlai will deliver from the set piece.
24'
M. Neuer gets yellow.
Neuer goes into the book for failing to let Berisha take a quick throw in on the right wing. The Bayern goalkeeper had raced out to clear the previously danger.
20'
Junuzovic leads a break for Salzburg who gain possession from a poor Gnabry pass but the central midfielder can’t release Koita. You could certainly argue that Salzburg have been the better team in this one so far tonight!
15'
After a fantastic opening ten minutes in this Champions League clash, Salzburg have just begun to surrender possession a little too easily. Koita tries to break down the right but his pass inside towards Berisha is dealt with by Boateng.
13'
Bayern are beginning to turn the screw now. The German side have dominated the possession over the past five minutes and Lewandowski is the latest to go for goal. The Polish striker opens up his body 25 yards from goal, but his bending effort goes just over.
7'
As expected, Richards will play at left-back tonight for Bayern. The young American has only played a handful of times so far for the German champions – usually at centre-back – so tonight’s match will prove a huge learning curve for him regardless of the result.
5'
More great play from Salzburg sees them attack down the left as Szoboszlai floats a cross into the back post. Mwepu leaps but Coman does well to recover and clear for a corner.
3'
Salzburg have the first effort on target of the night. The Austrian side work it well from a throw in deep in the Bayern half and Camara shoots from just outside the box. His effort from 30 yards is on target but Neuer handles it with ease.
1'
After a moment of silence to remember one of football’s greatest stars - Diego Armando Maradona - referee Orel Grinfeld blows his whistle and we’re underway here at the Allianz Arena!
