		Welcome. Game starts at 15:30.
		Eintracht Braunschweig: lives a nightmare. They are the very last team in Bundesliga and they're playing the best team in it.

They are sitting on the top of Bundesliga's chart. Even though this is an away match for them and they have no win in their last 3 matches.

	10	Dante is defending very well for his team and not giving Eintracht chances to get closer to the goal.
	12	What a save from Braunschweig! Bayern players were 2 against 1 in penalty area but they tried to pass each other and defending Henna stopped their pass and saved his team from almost certain goal.
	14	Both teams are playing very well. It doesn't look like the best and the worst team of Bundesliga are playing against each other.
	15	Ribery tried to find Robben but his cross was too fast for the Dutchman.

		In this half we've been surprised by the way Braunschweig has played, as well as Bayern was. Braunschweig was very aggressive but they were excelent in their defence too. On the other side Bayern showed some personal qualities which helped them in many situations. They must not be happy with the way the first half went for them. Let's see how will they come into the second half.

	52	Bayern got into an attack and their pressure was good but after two crosses in which they didn't manage to shot the ball Braunschweig stopped their pressure.

	77	Bayern continues in the pressure they were making before the goal. They certainly want to get back their self confidence.

		Game over.
		It is all over. In the second half we've seen that Bayern we're used to see (unlike in the first half). The game was played almost on Eintracht's side of the pitch only. Bayern has controled the ball and they managed to score two goals because of their personal qualities. However Braunschweig has showed their hearts. They however are still on the last spot in Bundesliga. (17:24:50)
