Bayern – who defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 in their ICC opener  – fielded the likes of Franck Ribery, Javi Martinez, Juan Barnat and  Serge Gnabry in the line-up, with Arjen Robben, David Alaba, Kingsley  Coman and Renato Sanches on the bench.It was a lively start  despite the wet conditions as Ulreich was forced into an early save –  the back-up keeper managing to get a strong hand to keep out Favilli's  powerful attempt.Perin enjoyed a relatively comfortable half,  though the former Genoa star was called into action to deny Ribery, who  showed some nice foot work to create space to unleash a fine curling  effort four minutes later.Bundesliga holders Bayern began to take  control as the half wore on, with Juve surviving a couple of goal-mouth  scrambles, however, it was the Italian champions who opened the scoring  just past the half-hour mark.A poor back-pass from Stanisic put  Ulreich under serious pressure and Marchisio pounced on the wayward  return ball, picking out Favilli and the new signing side-footed the  opener with the German shot-stopper caught off his line.Bayern  were forced into a substitution with Martinez – who has endured an  injury-ravaged career – replaced by Alaba following a collision with  Favilli.Favilli was in the thick of the action again five minutes prior to  the interval when he sprung the offside trap after Sandro's long ball  and finished coolly beyond Ulreich.The only concern for Juve from the first half was Can's withdrawal two minutes before the break.Bayern  substitute Woo-Yeong Jeong should have reduced the deficit just shy of  the hour-mark but the Korean teenager somehow blazed over the bar with  the goal at his mercy.</blockquote>
