Munich (B2B) - Jerome Boateng membawa Muenchen unggul 1-0 atas lawannya Manchester City di Liga Champions berkat gol telatnya menit 90, di Allianz-Arena, Kamis (18/9), WIB waktu setempat.
Muenchen bermain cepat sejak menit pertama. Buktinya ketika Lewandowski sudah berada di kotak pinalti City dan berhadapan satu lawan satu dengan kiper Joe Hart. Tendangannya bisa dihalau Hart, kemudian bola yang bergulir jatuh di kaki Mueller, tetapi tendangannya terkena jaring.
Bayern kembali menekan. Lahm bergerak dari kanan dan melihat Lewandowski, tetapi lini belakang City mampu menjerat Lewandowski di posisi offside, seperti dilansir uefa.com.
Menit 14 City ganti menyerang lewat Silva yang mencoba memberi umpan ke Dzeko, tetapi bola lebih dekat ke Manuel Neuer.
Serangan dilancarkan kedua tim, tetapi hingga pluit tanda turun minum dibunyikan skor tetap 0-0.
Babak kedua, Kompany harus bekerja keras membuang bola dari tendangan Lewandowski, tetapi bola masih arena pinalti. Muller mencoba untuk mengambil kesempatan itu tetapi Hart mematahkannya.
Menit 86, Alaba mencoba peruntungan menendang dari luar kotak pinalti, mengincar sisi kiri gawang Hart, tetapi masih melebar.
Empat menit berselang, Boateng membuat suporter tuan rumah bergemuruh dengan tendangannya yang tak bisa dihalau Hart.
Aguero hampir menyamakan kedudukan City tetapi tendangan melebar.
Munchen - Jerome Boateng struck his first ever UEFA Champions League goal in the 90th minute to give FC Bayern München victory in their opening Group E match against Manchester City FC.
The two clubs resumed their rivalry having met in two of the past three UEFA Champions League group stages and Bayern kept their noses in front in the overall head-to-head record as Boateng struck in the final minute to give the Bundesliga champions what was ultimately a deserved victory.
The Bavarian side almost got off to the best of starts when Mario Götze and Robert Lewandowski combined to put Thomas Müller through within 50 seconds of the kick-off. To the incredulity of the home crowd, the Germany forward could only find the side-netting after rounding Joe Hart.
Bayern looked sharp but City, coordinated by assistant coach Rubén Cousillas owing to Manuel Pellegrini´s touchline ban, slowly found their feet. Indeed, the visitors almost took a lead when Manuel Neuer was forced to claw out Edin Džeko´s near-post strike.
It was the home team in the ascendancy, though, and but for Hart they may have been well clear by the interval. The England No1 did brilliantly to react to Müller´s powerful header, before blocking another effort from Götze and then keeping out a fierce shot from the impressive David Alaba.
At the other end Džeko curled narrowly wide, yet the City threat was sporadic as Bayern continued to press. Lewandowski had an identical chance to Müller´s in the first minute, but again fired into the side-netting from a slightly narrower angle.
