First-half goals from Green and Lahm and a late Alaba strike were enough to send the Bundesliga champions through

Bayern Munich progressed to the third round of DFB-Pokal with a 3-1 victory over Augsburg at the Allianz Arena.

The hosts were handed the perfect start when Philipp Lahm tapped in from Thomas Muller’s pass after only two minutes.

The lead was doubled four minutes before half-time when Julian Green finished after a mistake by goalkeeper Marwin Hitz.

Dong-Won Ji pulled a goal back for Augsburg on 68 minutes but a late David Alaba goal sealed the win for Carlo Ancelotti's side.
