Salcedo wins Tigres a late, late free-kick around 40 yards from the Bayern goal. Gignac delivers towards goalkeeper Guzman at the back post but Bayern survive.
90' +2
We're halfway through the four minutes of additional time that has been allotted here in Qatar. Bayern look in control at present.
90'
Rafael Carioca gets yellow.
Carioca is booked for bringing down Davies on the left flank.
88'
The midfield press of Bayern Munich is working tremendously hard to pin Tigres into their own half. It feels like this match is just going through the motions right now as the Mexican side struggle to break through the centre of the park.
84'
Tigres nearly score one of those own goals. Salcedo nods back to Guzman but the keeper is way off his line. Thankfully for the Mexican champions, the shot-stopper gets back just in time to pull it back from the line.
83'
A long throw-in for Tigres is flicked on by Gonzalez and Gignac tries the spectacular! The French forward moves his body to try an overhead kick, but he just misses the ball.
80'
J. Quiñones enters the game and replaces L. Rodríguez.
Julian Quinones comes on to replace Rodriguez for Tigres.
77'
Tigres are yet to make a change of their own despite the Mexican side looking short of ideas offensively here in the second half so far. Defensively they look sharp and solid but upfront they haven’t offered much in the second 45 yet.
74'
The triple substitution is completed as Costa comes on for Coman on the left wing.
Minute
Description
73'
Douglas Costa enters the game and replaces K. Coman.
E. Choupo-Moting enters the game and replaces R. Lewandowski.
J. Musiala enters the game and replaces L. Sané.
A triple change is about to take place for Bayern. The first sees youngster Musiala replace Sane.
Choupo-Moting joins the action at the expense of star forward Lewandowski.
71'
It’s been far from vintage Bayern Munich so far in this final, but the German champions are doing enough right now to lead. Their collective experience is helping to frustrate Tigres with 20 minutes of play to go.
69'
L. Rodríguez gets yellow.
Rodriguez is booked for dragging Coman to the ground after the French midfielder stepped past the Tigres man on the left wing.
67'
Quinones goes down under a challenge from Sane. Kimmich offers his opinion in the aftermath and tempers flare as a few players confront the German midfielder.
64'
C. Tolisso enters the game and replaces S. Gnabry.
Tolisso replaces Gnabry as Bayern boss Flick opts for a bit more solidity for his side in the middle of the park.
63'
There’s huge calls from Tigres for a penalty after the ball strikes a Bayern arm but the referee waves play on.
61'
THE GOAL IS GIVEN!!! BAYERN MUNICH GO 1-0 UP!!! VAR adjudges that Lewandowski was onside in the build-up and Pavard’s simple finish from 10 yards out is given. That's a tough one for Tigres to take.
Lewandowski gets the assist on the goal after getting a touch on Guzman's interception.
59'
B. Pavard has scored a goal for Bayern Munich! Assist by R. Lewandowski.
58'
It’s definitely Bayern Munich that have dominated the second half so far. Gignac and Gonzalez are looking more and more isolated up front for Tigres as the clock rolls on.
56'
The pitch in Al-Rayyan is unfortunately taking a bit of a centre stage in this Club World Cup final. It’s definitely not of the highest standard and looks very bobbly under foot. A few times now players from either side have turned and looked at the turf after miscontrolling the ball.
49'
Coman drives into the Tigres box from the left and past Rodriguez before crossing to the back post. Sane meets the delivery but his headed effort goes over the bar. That’s better from the German champions though.
48'
Bayern Munich need to attack this match with much more force in the second half. In the first, the German champions were too slow in possession which suited a Tigres side who look incredibly comfortable with sitting deep and defending when needed. The pace of Gnabry, Sane and Coman needs to be seen more in this second 45.
46'
Both sets of players are back on the field and the second half begins!
45' +2
HALF-TIME: BAYERN MUNICH 0-0 TIGRES UANL
45'
Tigres again clear the Bayern danger with relative ease. There’ll be a minimum of two minutes of additional time played in the first half.
44'
Aquino upends Davies and Bayern have a free-kick in a dangerous position. Kimmich looks set to deliver.
42'
J. Dueñas gets yellow.
Duenas is booked for time-wasting in the first half. That could be a very bad decision as he looks to defend Sane at that left-back position.
40'
Tigres have held their own so far in the Club World Cup final but something that they miss is creativity in the centre of the park. Pizarro and Carioca are playing well but both are industrious midfielders rather than playmakers and that's stifling the Mexican side a fair bit.
37'
It’s the 37th minute and Tigres goalkeeper Guzman has already been warned twice by the referee for time-wasting. That's definitely an interesting approach from the shot-stopper.
33'
Quinones looks to take on Sule but the Bayern defender does well to tackle his man and put the ball out for a Tigres corner. Bayern clear the original danger from the subsequent set-piece before Pizarro strikes at goal, but his effort is too weak to trouble Neuer.
31'
The German champions are just missing that cutting edge up front here in the first half. It’s clear to see that Muller’s absence has been a big loss for Bayern so far.
28'
Tigres have done well over the past few moments to take the sting out of the Bayern pressure that was building.
25'
Brilliant defending from Salcedo as he intercepts a pass across the six-yard box from Davies. With Lewandowski lurking behind the Tigres defender, that would have been a goal without his intervention.
23'
In truth, the referee’s decision to disallow that Bayern goal seems harsh. Lewandowski did well to try and manoeuvre his body out of the way of Guzman’s line of sight but evidently the officials disagreed.
17'
Quinones is nearly in on goal after being played through by Gonzalez but Neuer charges out to collect the ball. That was close!
15'
The ball falls for Lewandowski in the Tigres box but the Bayern forward can’t control, and the Mexican side clear the danger. That’s the second time now that their star forward has struggled to keep the ball under his spell.
12'
Tigres break and Gignac flies down the left wing. The French forward cuts back and finds Quinones with a chipped, cross-field pass. The midfielder goes for the far corner of Neuer’s goal with a curled attempt, but his effort goes comfortably over in the end.
10'
Tigres do well to clear the danger from the first corner and then from a second Bayern corner soon after. The Mexican side have started this Club World Cup final very well.
8'
Davies charges down the left wing before delivering a ball into the Tigres box. Carioca does well to intervene, but Bayern have a corner as a result.
4'
Alaba tries to thread Coman through and behind the Tigres backline but the Austrian international puts just too much on the chipped pass which rolls through to goalkeeper Guzman. Despite that, Tigres have dominated the early possession and have started this match very positively.
2'
An early chance for Tigres as Gignac sees a headed effort blocked by Sule. The Mexican side get a corner in the aftermath, but Bayern clear the subsequent danger.
1'
Referee Esteban Ostojich blows his whistle and we’re underway here in Qatar!
