Mitroglu heads wide from the edge of the area from Almeida's cross from the right flank. A quarter-chance really, as you are not going to beat Manuel Neuer from there.

SAVE: Costa gets the ball on the left after a Bayern switch of play, but Ederson is down to save his fellow Brazilian's shot easily.
8'
Gaitan crosses from the left but Alaba is across to intercept with Mitroglu waiting.
7'
Pizzi shows great skill to make room for himself in midfield then his crossfield pass goes straight out of play!
