Bayern Munich grinded out a 1-0 victory over Benfica in the Champions League, but it was not easy. Playing against Benfica’s stingy low block, Bayern Munich had a lot of possession and chances, just not high-percentage opportunities.

Vangelis Pavlidis (Benfica) wins a free kick in the defensive half. Jamal Musiala (FC Bayern München) wins a free kick in the attacking half. Foul by Arthur Cabral (Benfica). Substitution, Benfica. Arthur Cabral replaces Orkun Kökçü.

Two sides who suffered setbacks on Matchday 3 will meet with a chance to get back on track on Wednesday as Bayern Munich welcome Benfica. As things stand, Vincent Kompany's Bayern Munich wouldn't even be in the top 24 teams to move to the next stage of the tournament with only three points through three games.
