10:35 p.m
With the inclusion of Choupo-Moting, guest coach Julian Nagelsmann wants to give a fresh impetus to the offensive. The hapless Gnabry left the field.

10:33 p.m
Ironically, by counterattack, Bayern only scratch meager over the balance! As a result of a home corner, they switch over half-left. The deep-sent Coman plays flat inwards to Sané. It decreases from a good 14 meters in the direction of the right corner. Köhn stops the ball with the fingertips of his left hand and then also prevents Gnabry’s follow-up shot.
74
22:31
Coman against Köhn! The Frenchman dances Kristensen out on the deep left side of the box and then fires the ball powerfully at the near post from a tight angle. Salzburg’s final man steers the attempt around the post with difficulty.
72
22:29
Ulmer saves from Müller! Again, the Munich attack runs on the left. Coman refuels in the sixteen and lays across for the colleague with the 25 on his back. He swings his left foot out to take control, but Ulmer comes just in time and clears.
70
22:26
Coman is free to cross from the left wing, but the Frenchman’s cross is set too high and sails past friend and foe into the right goal.
68
22:24
The Reds push the Austrians far into their half and hardly allow any moments of relief. However, they do not convert these clear advantages into a corresponding number of compelling possibilities.
65
22:21
Sané’s hard left shot from a central 22 meters has a lot of speed and flies a bit uncomfortably to the half-left corner as a touchdown. Salzburg’s keeper Köhn has no trouble holding onto the ball.
63
22:19
Gnabry is the addressee of a half-high pass by Coman from the left baseline in the center of the penalty area. He tries an overhead kick, but gets stuck on colleague Müller from a good nine meters away.
60
22:16
Pavard crosses from the right wing without sharpness in the area between the edge of the five and the penalty spot. Salzburg goalkeeper Köhn advanced in time and plucks the ball out of the air.
57
22:13
After the change of sides, the Mozartstadters hardly manage to switch quickly and now have to deal with an opponent who is more precise in terms of structure. Of course, the outsider can still live well with the intermediate result.
54
22:11
Gnabry, who went to the deep right side of the penalty area, wants to stage Lewandowski in the center with a cross pass. Wöber is just right and intercepts the ball in front of the Pole.
51
22:08
Seiwald gets through the middle in front of the opposing defensive line and fires a powerful shot from a good 21 meters with the left chip. Ulreich is down quickly and holds the ball.
49
22:06
Neither Matthias Jaissle nor Julian Nagelsmann made any personnel changes during the break.
48
22:04
Coman pulls in from the half-left offensive corridor and circles the ball from a good 18 meters with the right inside instep in the direction of the far corner. The ball doesn’t sail far past the home cage.
46
22:02
Welcome back to the second round in the Red Bull Arena! The Jaissle selection noticed early on that they could cause major problems for the favorites by consistently chasing the ball, especially in their half. From this she drew a lot of self-confidence and the belief that she could wound the German record champions. Above all, Bayern have to improve their passing game in the first two thirds of the field in order not to invite Salzburg to score more goals.

Kick-off 2nd half

21:47
Mid-term conclusion:
FC RB Salzburg leads 1-0 at the break in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against FC Bayern Munich. In a game that was fast-paced and hectic from the start, the German record champions had early possession advantages, but allowed the Austrians to counterattack quite a few in the first quarter of an hour. After the guest had worked out a first very good opportunity through Gnabry (10th), the Mozartstadters rewarded themselves for their wild counterattacks by using their premiere chance: Adamu, who came on early, let the Red Bull Arena in the 21st minute the lead gate tremble. A little later, Aaronson narrowly missed the second goal (26′). In the last quarter of an hour, he gradually increased his presence again in the last third of the field, but when it came to urgent opportunities, Sanés only had one shot, who just missed the home box (31st). See you soon!
45
21:45
Official stoppage time (minutes): 1
Round one in the Red Bull Arena should be extended by 60 seconds.
44
21:44
After a throw-in from the left touchline, Adeyemi scurries into the sixteen and wants to flick the ball from a good 15 meters into the far corner. The shot is misplaced and therefore easy prey for Ulreich.
42
21:41
Finally degrees from Bayern again! After Gnabry’s and Sané’s shots from the half-right side of the penalty area were blocked by Wöber and Ulmer, Müller’s cross found its way to Coman. He heads from the penalty spot in the middle of the box. Köhn grabs it safely.
40
21:40
For the first time ever, the Reds are chasing a deficit in the current premier class season. It is obvious that they are not used to this. They don’t want to take too many risks against strong Austrians at this early stage.
37
21:37
Bayern are also far from controlling the game in the closing stages of the first period. Every now and then they try it with long allusions to Lewandowski, but he rarely designed his aerial duels successfully.
34
21:33
Goalscorer Adamu remains after a knee contact with Gnabry. Fortunately, the 20-year-old recovered quickly and continued his work day without treatment.
31
21:31
Sané has the equalizer on his feet! The ex-England legionnaire accepts Gnabry’s short pass from the right corner of the penalty area at the penalty spot in order to move it towards the left corner with the second contact despite the pressure. He just barely misses.
29
21:29
After conceding, the German record champions even have trouble maintaining their ball possession advantages. After almost half an hour, Salzburg are on par with the guest in terms of game shares.
26
21:26
Aaronson nearly with the 2:0! After the Adeyemi pass, the American dribbles from the near wing from the right to the left side of the box, allowing three opponents to fold. From a good 14 meters he shoots at the left corner. Ulreich defends with his right hand to the side.
24
21:24
So the Reds are being punished for their negligence in retreating, although this has diminished in the last few minutes. The road to the quarter-finals just got a little longer for the 2020 Champions League winner.
21
21:21
Tooor for RB Salzburg, 1-0 through Chikwubuike Adamu
Joker Adamu puts the underdog ahead! As part of a counter-attack, Adeyemi drives the ball forward in the half-right offensive corridor. With a bit of luck, Aaronson forwards his pass to the middle edge of the sixteen to Adamu. The completed from half-left 15 meters with the right inside instep in the half-height right corner.
20
21:20
In the aftermath of a corner, Coman unpacks a direct acceptance with the right instep from a central 19 meters. The bounce moves in the middle of the box and is not a real challenge for Köhn despite a slight touch from Müller.
19
21:19
Coman is sent behind the opposing defensive line by Lewandowski on the left. The French crosses sharply in front of the box. Salzburg goalkeeper Köhn advanced in time and saved from Müller with his right hand.
16
21:15
The Nagelsmann troupe is extremely agitated in the build-up and makes many inaccurate passes, some of which the Austrians can walk away with. If she appears in the last third of the field, she certainly gives a dangerous impression.
13
21:12
Okafor’s working day ended early due to a muscle injury in his thigh. He is replaced by the 20-year-old winger Adamu in position.
12
21:11
Substitution at RB Salzburg: Chikwubuike Adamu

Substitution at RB Salzburg: Noah Okafor

21:11
Gnabry demands Köhn everything away! As a result of a volleyball to the right corner of the penalty area, the German international Ulmer dances and circles the ball from a good 13 meters to the half-height left corner. Köhn is quickly down and parried to the side.
9
21:09
Seiwald’s corner kick from the left flag punches Ulreich in the half-left area in front of the sixteen. Camara tries from a good 20 meters with a direct left-footed shot via instep. At the penalty spot this Tolisso stands in the way.
7
21:06
… Ulmer’s left instep execution is set too low and is cleared by Pavard at the near post.
6
21:05
Adeyemi fuels his way into the box from the right and forces a first corner kick against Hernández…
4
21:04
The hosts bring an early counterattack onto the pitch! At the end of a long period of ball possession for Bayern, Süle, as the last defender not far from the center line, allows Adeyemi to take him by surprise. The German picks up speed on the left wing and gives half-height to the middle edge of the sixteen. Aaronson picks it up, but Hernández blocks.

Bayern in Salzburg – round one in the Red Bull Arena is open!
20:57
The Champions League anthem sounds.
20:56
The teams have just entered the pitch in front of 30,000 spectators.
20:42
In the southern Germans, who failed only once in the last ten seasons in the Champions League round of 16 and whose last away defeat in the premier class dates back to September 2017, Julian Nagelsmann makes a change compared to the 4-2 defeat at VfL Bochum. Tolisso relegates Upamecano to the bench.
20:33
On the side of Mozartstadt, who lost both comparisons with the German record champions in the group phase of the previous season (2:6, 1:3) and who lead the domestic elite class with a lead of 14 points, coach Matthias Jaissle after the 2:1 Away win at SK Rapid Wien made a personnel change. Seiwald is preferred to Bernède (bench).
20:21
After finishing third in the previous two years, FC RB Salzburg made it into the last 16 of the premier class for the first time. The 15-time Austrian champion prevailed behind Lille OSC and ahead of Sevilla FC and VfL Wolfsburg. In the decisive final group game, the young Swiss Okafor scored the only goal in the home game against the representative from Andalusia.
20:11
FC Bayern Munich are in the group stage for the fourth time with victories against FC Barcelona (3-0, 3-0), FK Dinamo Kiev (5-0, 2-1) and SL Benfica (4-0, 5-2). Unbeaten in a row and mastered for the second time after the 19/20 season without losing a point. Coach Julian Nagelsmann’s team wants to get involved in the seventh Champions League win in the club’s history in St. Petersburg at the end of May, but they can’t afford to slip up like they did at the weekend in the Bundesliga, when they sensationally won 2: 4 at newly promoted VfL Bochum went under.
20:11
After the other three German Champions League participants, RB Leipzig, Borussia Dortmund and VfL Wolfsburg, left this competition in December, FC Bayern Munich once again has to represent the Bundesliga alone on the big international stage. At the start of the knockout phase, the Reds avoided a heavyweight, having been drawn to FC RB Salzburg.
20:00
Hello and welcome to the Champions League on Wednesday night! FC Bayern Munich is a guest at FC RB Salzburg in the round of 16 first leg. From 9:00 p.m. on the lawn of the Red Bull Arena, the people of Mozart and the south of Germany will face each other.
