While there was no  room for Bale, Jovic,  Rodrygo and Mendy were on the bench.It was an entertaining and end-to-end first half, with Bayern's Manuel Neuer the busier of the two goalkeepers at NRG Stadium.After  Neuer managed to make a goal-line save to deny Karim Benzema in  the  11th minute, Bayern broke the deadlock four minutes later via  Tolisso.A  low cross from Kingsley Coman found a way through to Tolisso,  whose  initial shot was stopped on the line by Thibaut Courtois, but  the  Frenchman made no mistake with the rebound.Madrid huffed and  puffed in search of an equaliser – Benzema, who  failed to capitalise on a  pair of consecutive close-range chances, in  the thick of the action but  unable to put the ball over the line.Sergio  Ramos, Luka Modric  and Hazard also had opportunities for Madrid prior  to half-time,  however, Bayern managed to preserve their advantage.Madrid  controlled possession early in the second half but Bayern were a  threat  in attack and the German giants sent a warning when an unmarked  Thiago  Alcantara drove into the box, however he was unable to direct  Coman's  cross on target approaching the hour mark.That warning went unheeded as centre-back Niklas Sule picked out   Lewandowski with a ball over Madrid's defence in the 67th minute and the   Polish striker produced a stunning piece of skill to control it before   turning and finishing into the bottom corner.Gnabry completed the  rout two minutes later when the German found  himself unmarked in the  area and he had time to take a touch and fire a  half-volley past Keylor  Navas.Bayern ended the match with 10 men after Ulreich was red  carded for a  foul on Rodrygo outside the area in the 81st minute  following Joshua  Kimmich's sloppy back-pass and the Madrid signing  converted his own  free-kick to pull a goal back.</blockquote>
