Carl Zeiss Jena 0 Bayern Munich 5: Lewandowski hat-trick fires reigning champions into next round

Robert Lewandowski scored a hat-trick and set up another to help Bayern Munich to a 5-0 DFB-Pokal win over Carl Zeiss Jena.

Bayern Munich started their DFB-Pokal title defence with a 5-0 win over Regionalliga Nordost side Carl Zeiss Jena courtesy of a Robert Lewandowski hat-trick and goals from Arturo Vidal and Mats Hummels at the Ernst-Abbe-Sportfeld.

Prolific striker Lewandowski opened the scoring within three minutes, netted a second shortly after the half-hour mark and took his tally to three shortly before the interval to all but send his side through to the second round.

Vidal and Hummels made it five after the break, the latter heading home his first goal for the club since arriving from Borussia Dortmund.
