Vincent Kompany tells DAZN, “I think our first half wasn't good at all. With the pitch and the heat, I just feared this wouldn't go as fluid as normal but I was still confident for the second half. We created so much and played really well. It’s football. If you have chances and don't take them, you pay the price.”

Asked whether it was the plan to bring on heavyweights Kimmich, Kane and Olise at half-time, or if they were introduced sooner than he would like, he says, “It was the plan. I’d rather finish strong because I knew it would start slow. I was definitely confident this is what we needed to do. I can't take anything from this game.

Bayern face Flamengo next, and he says, “It was either Flamengo or Chelsea. It’s going to be a tough game. We know we can create the chances.

“Anyway, we were dominant, we created more chances, we didn't win. We can't afford for this to happen but we still take momentum into the next game.”

Ah, Kane’s miss wouldn’t have stood anyway as he shoved Otamendi in the build-up.

Time for the celebrations to begin for Benfica!

90+8 mins: Kane’s miss is practically the last action of the game!

Benfica cling on for a brilliant first win over what was, by the second half, a full-strength Bayern team.

Schjelderup’s first-half goal is the difference and Benfica top Group C!

90+8 mins: Bayern keep coming. Bajrami makes an excellent tackle to deny Stanisic at the back line.

Olise swings in a corner but Kane knocks it wide from mere yards out! Dreadful!

90+6 mins: Laimer sprints to the back line to keep the ball in play and cut it back, Trubin gets to it, spills but falls gratefully onto it again. Offside anyway.

Trubin gets warned by the referee to get a move on.

Two minutes for Benfica to cling on...

90+4 mins: Bayern curl in another effort, but this one’s quite tame. Trubin hops up to collect and goes to ground to waste some time.

Muller is at the back post to greet a cross in from Olise but Aursnes gets there first and puts it behind for a corner!

Aursnes wins the battle for the delivery.

90 mins: Gouveia has been on for about five seconds and he’s already been shown a yellow for a pull-back on Stanisic. He’s doing his assigned job well.

Bayern win a corner... Otamendi gets a thumping header to it.

EIGHT minutes added on in Charlotte.

88 mins: Di Maria, who has been hopping around with amazing energy, is replaced by Joao Rego. Pavlidis comes off too, for Tiago Gouveia.

Now Kane threads a brilliant ball forward to Sane, he’s one on one with Trubin - but the keeper denies him again!!

86 mins: Bayern keep pushing for an equaliser. Laimer’s long looping cross seems destined for Kane’s head and into the goal - but with the Englishman inches away from it, Antonio Silva heads it away!

Laimer finds Kane again but he’s outmuscled by Otamendi along the right flank.

Now Sane blasts over the bar and makes a small child’s day as he catches the ball.

82 mins: Olise darts and dances across the edge of the penalty area, trying to find a gap, and ends up running deep into midfield without losing possession. He certainly isn’t feeling lacklustre in this heat.
