Guardiola commends 'courageous' Ingolstadt

Bayern Munich was forced to work hard for a 2-0 victory in its Bundesliga meeting with Ingolstadt, which drew praise from Pep Guardiola.

Ingolstadt was the toughest opponents Bayern Munich has come up against so far this season, says Pep Guardiola.

Ralph Hasenhuttl's side pressed high up the pitch and limited its Bavarian rivals' opportunities in the first half, but goals from Robert Lewandowski and Philipp Lahm earned the Spaniard's side a 2-0 win at the Allianz Arena.

Guardiola was thoroughly impressed by the tactics Ingolstadt deployed, but felt the superior quality of his squad proved the difference.
