FC Bayern München left it late to make it two wins out of two with late efforts from Robert Lewandowski and Joshua Kimmich enough to see off a dogged FC Schalke 04 side.

Bayern had their now customary three quarters of the possession for much of the opening 15 minutes before the hosts settled and enjoyed a good spell which included the first shot of the game from Leon Goretzka. The first clear sight of goal came at the other end, though, with Lewandowski side-footing Thomas Müller's cross just wide of the far post. Schalke squandered an even better opportunity shortly before the interval when Klaas-Jan Huntelaar failed to make the most of a loose ball at the near post after excellent work from Rahman Baba and Yevhen Konoplyanka down the left.

Huntelaar rattled the crossbar with the first shot of the second half, Manuel Neuer getting a crucial fingertip to the Dutchman's strike from distance. Both coaches made changes to try to instigate a reaction – Breel Embolo and Max Meyer both entering for the hosts and Douglas Costa and Arturo Vidal seeing action for Bayern – but it was Lewandowski who made the difference, lifting his shot into the roof of the net just five minutes after missing an easier opportunity, before teeing up Kimmich for his first goal for Bayern to wrap up victory.
