It’s first versus second in the Bundesliga as Wolfsburg host pacesetters Bayern Munich.

De Bruyne is finding all sorts of space. The Belgian midfielder has a pop from distance. Nope, that's awful.

CHANCE! The ball bounces towards the edge of the penalty area - the sort of bobbling ball that screams 'hit me'. David Alaba obliges and connects sweetly from 20 yards... Benaglio gets down well to his right and saves.

Naldo slides in on Lewandowski inside the penalty area. BIG challenge.

And the hosts are at it again. A fizzing cross from the left just evades everyone in the centre. Bayern look so ropey in defence.

WHAT AN OPENING! De Bruyne has options left and right, with the Bayern defence nervously retreating. He knocks it right, but over-hits it horribly.

Vieirinha sees his speculative effort blocked.

De Bruyne pokes the ball towards a team-mate, gets his head down and darts into space. Just one small problem: his pass got intercepted.

Uh oh. Luiz Gustavo loiters on the ball near his own goalline and watches with relief as his clearance squirms off Thomas Mueller and into the hands of Benaglio.

CHANCE! Alonso clips a teasing delivery into the penalty area... Schweinsteiger rises... The German doesn't quite get enough on it.

Robben keeps the ball close to his feet then, suddenly, knocks it beyond an opponent into space. Naldo is alert and charges across to clear.

The Wolfsburg fans are bouncing. Cracking atmosphere in the opening stages.

De Bruyne scampers after a hopeful punt down the left flank. Bayern - on this occasion - survive.

It's Bastian Schweinsteiger... Caught comfortably by Diego Benaglio.

Bayern enjoying a nice spell of possession. They've got a free-kick on the edge of the penalty after Robert Lewandowski is taken out.

Wow.

GOAL! Champions behind in three minutes! The hosts counter at pace. It's worked to Bas Dost - after fine work from Kevin De Bruyne - who fires into the bottom corner.

Arjen Robben weaves off the flank and tries to get an early shot away. Blocked.

Here we go...

The stadium is awash with green and gold flags. Fans, staff and players alike join together to applaud Junior Malanda, who tragically passed away in a car crash.
