Díaz makes debut in Bayern win
New Bayern Munich signing Luis Díaz made a successful debut for the club as Bayern Munich overcame Lyon 2-1, thanks to a double from Michael Olise.
Bayern 2-1 Lyon
Goals: 1-0 Olise 53’ (pen.), 2-0 Olise 62’ (assist: Gnabry), 2-1 Rodriguez 83’ (assist: Merah)
After a first half in which neither goalkeeper was really tested, Vincent Kompany decided to make full use of his substitutes bench by making 11 changes.
This meant a debut for new signing Díaz. From the off, the Colombian looked a threat, and he had his opposite number worried every time he got on the ball; so much so that in the 52nd minute, the Colombian was pulled down in the box for a penalty. Olise stepped up and converted the spot-kick.
Just ten minutes later, Olise doubled the scoring after being fed through by Serge Gnabry as Bayern's substitutes made a lively start.
Just a few minutes from time, Lyon pulled one, but the visitors never looked likely to level. Instead, Díaz once more came close, having had two earlier efforts well-saved by the Lyon goalkeepers, but unfortunately for the Colombian, he was thwarted once more.

Bayern
FINAL
Lyon
87'
Díaz just can't quite get his goal
For a third time since coming on, Díaz is denied by a Lyon goalkeeper. Gnabry once again slips him in down the left, but the Colombian can't steer it home.
83'
Lyon have one back
Kimmich plays a short corner to Olise, but the Frenchman makes a real mess of things, allowing Lyon to counter. Gomes Rodríguez is slipped in behind, and the youngster manages to slot home past Urbig whilst under pressure. Game back on.
81'
More changes from the visitors
Lyon take the opportunity to make a few more subs for the final ten minutes.
79'
Kusi-Asare almost adds a third
The Swede is slipped in against the Lyon goalkeeper, but his effort is dealt with by a big hand from the substitute stopper.
77'
Great effort from Mikautadze
The Georgian striker has looked the most likely for the visitors, and this is the closest he has come to scoring. He nips inside Tah and strikes one with his left that hits the post and bounces away.
75'
The visitors make a few changes of their own
After keeping substitutes to a relative minimum at half-time, Lyon have decided to make a few more changes now, including a replacement in goal.
70'
A nervy moment for Urbig
Just a couple of minutes after making a great save, the young goalkeeper gets the ball stuck under his feet and almost loses out to a Lyon attacker. That was very close.
69'
Gnabry with a huge chance
Díaz again has the beating of his man on the left. He gets to the byline before pulling it back to Gnabry, who scuffs his shot wide from just a few metres out.
68'
So close to getting one back
Mikautadze feeds through Kumbedi, but Urbig makes himself big to make a superb stop from close range.
67'
Díaz is desperate for a goal
Gnabry feeds the Colombian again, but once more the Colombian is thwarted by the gloves of Descamps. A great save from the Lyon goalkeeper.
61'
Great work from Olise, unfortunate from Gnabry
Olise dips inside and tries to curl one into the far corner. Unfortunately for the Frenchman, Gnabry unintentionally blocks the shot.
58'
The changes have made a difference
The 11 new bodies on the pitch for Bayern are playing with real intent, and the ball is being moved around with a bit more snap. Olise, in particular, has looked a cut above the rest since coming on.
48'
Díaz almost makes an instant impact
The Colombian is fed through on the left. He beats his man and hits one with his left foot, but the Lyon goalkeeper gets out well to make a big save.
46'
Díaz enters the pitch as Bayern make a host of changes
Just the 11 changes for Bayern at half-time as the entire starting XI is replaced. The big news there, though, is that Díaz is making his first Bayern appearance. The other players to join the action for the record champions are Urbig, Tah, Kiala, Stanišić, Kimmich, Olise, Laimer, Santos Daiber, Gnabry, Díaz and Kusi-Asare.
0 - 0
Half-time
45'
No added time
The referee brings the half to a close.
38'
Mikautadze fires a shot goalwards
Mikautadze picks up a loose ball in the Bayern half before driving forward and striking one, but again the effort fades narrowly wide.
34'
Kane wants a penalty
Kane goes down under pressure from his man in the box, but the referee decides it is, in fact, the Englishman who is fouling his man and not the other way around and a Lyon free-kick is given.
31'
A slower pace in the last few minutes
Since that Goretzka injury, the game has lost a little intensity as the players try to find their rhythm once more. Lyon are attempting to play out from the back, but the Bayern press has certainly caused problems. When Lyon break the press, though, there is a lot of space to run at the Bayern defence.
26'
Goretzka down with a knock
This is the last thing Bayern want after Pavlović was ruled out earlier today with an injury to his eye socket. Goretzka seems to have suffered a blow to the head, but so far, he seems okay to continue.
22'
Tolisso sends an effort wide
Tolisso tries to grab a goal against his former club, but his effort flies wide of the target from range.
21'
Moreira brings Neuer into action
Again, Lyon look to spring a counter. This time, it is Mikautadze who breaks forward at pace before feeding Moreira. The Portuguese dips inside and shoots, but it is comfortable for Neuer.
20'
Coman nearly pounces
Lyon attempt to play the ball out from the back, but Coman pounces on a loose touch. Unfortunately for the Frenchman, the Lyon defenders recover in time to block his shot.
18'
A first sight of goal for the visitors
Moreira picks up the ball on the left and runs at Kim before curling an effort narrowly wide of the far post. That was better from the visitors.
16'
Kane fires over from the free-kick
Wanner wins a free-kick on the edge of the Lyon box, but his effort is far too high to test the goalkeeper.
11'
Almost a dream moment for Karl
Coman and Guerreiro combine well down the left before the latter dinks a delightful ball to the backpost where Karl is waiting. He catches the ball sweetly on the volley, but his effort goes just wide.
5'
Bayern controlling the play
As perhaps expected, it is Bayern who have control of this game in the early stages, but Lyon are looking to break on the counter-attack when they get the chance.
1'
We're underway
Bayern will be looking to get their pre-season off to a strong start after an extended 24/25 campaign at the Club World Cup.
