It is done and dusted at the Singapore National Stadium. Bayern have come back twice to win 4-3 and will lift the Singapore Trophy. After a 2-2 scoreline at the break, Luis Diaz gave Liverpool the lead. But Josip Stanisic scored to equalize and then Franz Krastig scored an injury time winner to give Bayern the victory.
Kinglsey Coman's shot is saved by Alisson. And then the Liverpool keeper makes another excellent save to deny Mazraoui. Two good saves from the Brazilian to keep his team in it.
Goaaaaaal!! Frans Kratzig scores a wonfer goal for Bayern. The long ball finds the youngster who takes a touch and then rifles it into the top corner. Bayern lead in the 92nd minute.
Noussair Mazraoui sends a cross in and that could have ended up anywhere. In the end, Kingsley Coman's pull back just evades any Bayern leg and Joe Gomez clears it.
Liverpool are pushing for the winner. Joe Gomez shows his pace at the right hand side and crosses it, which is behind Darwin Nunez.
It has been an enthralling last few minutes, and just to confirm, the match will be going into extra time and possible penalties if the scoreline remains the same.
What a miss!! Luis Diaz squares one perfectly for Nunez but with the goal gaping, the Uruguayan hits it straight at Ulreich. Huge chance squandered by the Liverpool attacker.
Goaaaaal!! Josip Stanisic scores from a rebound to restore parity.
Bobby Clark almost scored there. Clark's vicious grounder was straight at Ulreich, but the ball went through the Bayern keeper and almost went in. Ulreich stops it before crossing the line and keeps Bayern in the hunt.
Substitution Dominik Szoboszlai replaced by James McConnell. Quansah replaces Van Dijk, who gives the armband to Alisson.
Both teams struggling to keep hold of the ball. It is more of a frantic fight for possession but the Bayern youngsters created a chance as Alisson makes a save from Ryan Gravenberch.
20 minutes to play and Liverpool are holding on to their slender lead. The Reds have scored 4 goals in all of their pre-season matches this season and would be looking to score one more to make it four in this match as well.

Goaaaaaaal!! Excellent goal froM Luis Diaz. Mohammed Salah finds him with a cute pass, Diaz takes a touch to skip past one defender and then puts it in the back of the net to give Liverpool the lead.
Liverpool fail to take their chance again. Salah again isolated with one Bayern defender and then his pass for Nunez was just behind the Uruguayan. Although Nunez managed to control that but Leon Goretzka challenges him from pulling the trigger. Salah could have taken the shot by himself.
Mohammed Sala makes a decent run and found Darwin Nunez with a fine pass. The Uruguayan tries to apply a cute lobbed finish but hits it at the side netting.
We are entering the hour mark of this game. The last 15 minutes have been fully dominated by Bayern Munich as Liverpool are living on the edge. A lot more gaps are exposing for the Reds as Bayern are looking to pounce on those. Still parity at the Singapore stadium as Bayern now make six changes at one go.
Dominik Szobszlai hits one straight to Ulreich. Then Alphonso Davies makes a driving run but is fouled by Cody Gakpo. The Liverpool player is shown a Yellow for the foul.
Good link-up play between Luis Diaz and Andy Robertson but the attack fizzles out as Darwin Nunez fails to control the ball and the Bayern goalkeeper gathers it with ease.
Liverpool were caught napping and there high line almost paid them. Kingsley Coman found a lot of shooting space but his left-footed strike is saved by Alisson to keep parity. Liverpool will have to hold on to the ball for a moment.
Kingsley Coman makes a mesmerizing run. He dodges past two Liverpool players on the right hand byline and then fires a cross which is cleared by Virgil van Dijk. Excellent start from the German Champions.
That is a shocking miss from Darwin Nunez. Andy Robertson's ball was perfect from the free-kick but the Uruguayan fails to connect anything. Any decent touch would have been a goal for Liverpool
Jamal Musiala pulls one back but it has ended up to Sven Ulreich, the substitute Bayern Keeper. Darwin Nunez is then fouled by Dayot Upamecano as Liverpool win a free kick.
Bright start from Bayern Munich. Kingsley Coman eases past Andrew Robertson on the right hand side, the ball ricochets at the Liverpool box and Laimer's shot is deflected for a corner.
As per our understanding, Alexis Mac Allister's injury is not that serious and it is just a knock. We are underway for the 2nd half by the way at the National Stadium in Singapore.
ON: Darwin Nunez, Ibrahima Konate, Luis Diaz
We are expecting a host of changes for the two sides. The teams can change as many as 15 players in the match, hence we will surely witness a large number of those before the start of the 2nd half.
Jurgen Klopp will need answers from his players for their poor capitulation after taking a two-goal lead. It is all squares at the break and it is to be seen how the Premier League side approach in the 2nd half. Bayern, on the other hand, would be extremely happy with the way they have rallied back in the match.

Here are some of the first half stats from the match. Liverpool and Bayern are deadlocked with a 2-2 scoreline at the break.
