3 things that went right for Bayern Munich against Sevilla

#2 Increasing the tempo in the second half

Jerome Boateng had a good second half after being caught out of position several times early on

In what has been a characteristic of every Bayern side under Jupp Heynckes, the Bavarians picked up the tempo in the second half to give Sevilla a better taste of their capabilities.

The likes of Jerome Boateng and Javi Martinez had been caught out of position on numerous occasions in the first half due to some delicate one-touch football between Joaquin Correa and Ben Yedder.

However, the two defensive giants took control of proceedings in the second half. Boateng was clinical in cutting off the lanes for Sevilla's attackers whilst both him and Mats Hummels put in some meaty tackles to keep the offence of the Andalusians in check.

Martinez was also instrumental in breaking plays in the middle of the park and getting Bayern on their way up the pitch to counter whenever the opportunity arose.

On the offensive side of things, Muller and Rodriguez looked involved in the thick of things as they created a plethora of opportunities for the Bavarians while sustaining extended pressure on the Sevilla defence.

While Robert Lewandowski didn't contribute much, he was still a target man and knowing the same, Sevilla players heavily man-marked him. However, the Polish striker used his movement to create space for other players inside the penalty box.

The tactic finally paid off as Thiago Alcantara was able to head a goal from close range to give Bayern the lead.that would ultimately turn out to be the winner.
