The 68,000 full house at the Allianz Arena saw the home side stamp their authority on the match from the off and take an overdue 25th-minute lead through fit-again Franck Ribery’s penalty. David Alaba doubled the advantage eight minutes before half-time, and it would have been a lot more if not for a brave performance by visiting keeper Matus Kozacik. But Munich marched on after the break and excellent goals by the outstanding Ribery and Bastian Schweinsteiger made it four by the midpoint of the second half, with sub Mario Götze adding a terrific stoppage-time fifth to complete the rout.
