HALF-TIME: SCHALKE 0-1 BAYERN MUNICH
41'
A pre-season arrival from Stuttgart, Pavard was well-placed to make that block. He joins Bayern having already won the World Cup with France and who could forget that goal he scored against Argentina in the round of 16?!

The visitors go in search of a second with Muller lifting the ball into the area. However, Nubel is alert and comes out to gather.

PENALTY TO BAYERN! Their intense spell of pressure eventually pays dividends as Coman is brought down by Kenny. The referee shows no hesitation in pointing to the spot.

We are still goalless after the opening quarter of an hour at the Veltins Arena. This will suit Schalke but it is important that they continue to remain fully concentrated on the task in hand.
