Two players of Nigerian descent in striker Joshua Zirkzee and attacking midfielder Jamal Musiala made Bayern's 23-man matchday squad but were not utilised off the bench.

Bayern Munich were made to work for their victory and went behind in the 13th minute, Lucas Ocampos converting a spot kick after David Alaba's foul on Ivan Rakitic but Leon Goretzka slotted into the far corner in the 34th minute to make it 1-1.
Javi Martínez, off the bench in the 99th minute, headed home the winner at the end of first half extra time after Alaba's effort was parried by the goalkeeper.
Both Zirkzee and Musiala featured off the bench in Bayern's season opener vs Schalke 04, with the Chelsea Academy product becoming the youngest player to score for the Munich side in the Bundesliga after finding the net in the 81st minute.
