FT
Full-time: There's no need for any additional time. Bayern Munich, despite playing with 10 men since the 12th-minute, have cruised to victory here.
90'
Pavard catches sweet with a first-time volley but it's straight down the throat of Kobel, who makes an easy save.
87'
Coman is fed by Choupo-Moting, but there's no way past Anton who blocks the Bayern sub's shot.
86'
Yellow card! Kempf goes into the book for a foul on Coman.

Close! Bayern's quest for a fourth shows no sign of slackening as Goretzka shoots just over the bar from 20 yards after a driving run from Coman.

77'
Double Stuttgart sub: Atakan Karazor and Daniel Didavi come on for Endo and Castro.

75'
Another interchange between Muller and Sane, as the former tries to chip the ball over the top for the latter to run onto. It falls to Choupo-Moting, who heads over the bar.

72'
Close! Muller is involved in yet another Bayern attack, but there's just not enough dip on Sane's first-time curler from the edge of the penalty area!
70'
Bayern sub: Lewandowski is coming off with 20 minutes still to play as he makes way for Eric Maxim-Choupo-Moting.
65'
A chance for a consolation for Stuttgart, but Klimowicz fires a shot from 30 yards out but Neuer gathers on the second attempt.
63'
A chance for Lewi's fourth! Perhaps he's human after all! With just the goalkeeper to beat, Lewandowski has a golden opportunity to score his fourth, but he scuffs his shot over the bar!
61'
Yellow card! Castro goes into the book for a foul out on the right.

Good defending! Coulibaly gets into a one-vs-one situation with Boateng, but the Bayern defender stands up tall and blocks his shot. Meanwhile, Kingsley Coman comes on for Gnabry.

59'
Pavard is arriving on the right as Bayern break. His cross is deep, but Lewandowski had anticipated a delivery to the near post, and the chance is gone.
58'
Neuer, under a little pressure, confidently rises highest in a packed penalty area to collect after a dangerous free-kick was delivered into the heart of the Bayern defence.
56'
For a moment I thought Boateng was going to be shown a second yellow card for a handball. But the referee keeps his cards in his pockets on this occasion, only awarding Stuttgart the free-kick.
