It was a substitution in the 65th minute that turned the game almost instantly. Ribery's replacement Gomez was in the thick of it as the ball was only partially cleared by Keinan to Van Buyten who lashed an unstoppable shot into the back of the net from 10 yards.
Maccabi refused to yield without a fight but found Bayern goalkeeper Hans-Jorg Butt unbeatable. Vladimir Dvalishvili struck the ball first time at goal 10 minutes from time but Butt was equal to the effort.
