Hoffenheim 0-2 Bayern Munich: Champion ends difficult week with hard-earned win

The Bavarians put a difficult week behind them with a 2-0 win over Hoffenheim on Saturday that further strengthens their title bid.

Bayern Munich bounced back from Champions League and off-field woes to further strengthen its Bundesliga title bid with a hard-fought 2-0 win over Hoffenheim.

A tumultuous week for the German champions saw a 3-1 defeat to Porto leave their European hopes hanging in the balance, while the loss also saw long-serving team doctor Hans-Wilhelm Muller Wohlfahrt quit after being blamed for events in Portugal.

However, victory at the Rhein-Neckar Arena will go some way to lifting the mood for Pep Guardiola's men, who are now two wins away from securing a third straight domestic title.
