Mario Goetze, who has found back to his form scored the opener in the sixth minute. Constant bombardment and accurate passing by Bayern kept Gladbach on the alert, with only a couple of breakthroughs, which challenged Manuel Neuer. Even when the arguably best keeper in world was defeated he was bailed out by a defender or a goal post. In the 54th minute a free kick was awarded to Bayern because of a deliberate handball. Thomas Mueller easily converted the free kick into a goal. The 2-0 win humbles Gladbach, who have seldom lost a home match against Munich.
Hannover 96 registered its first away win of the season after defeating VFL Wolfsburg 3-1. While Wolfsburg had the better start, Hannover improved as the game went along.
