Gotoku Sakai's failed clearance allowed Robben to backheel the ball into Lewandowski's path, and the striker picked out the bottom-right corner from the edge of the area with an unerring side-footed finish. Two minutes later and Bayern had their fifth, Muller unselfishly squaring the ball to Alaba to tap home from six yards after springing the offside trap and beating Adler to the ball. Lewandowski and Thiago were taken off, with Ancelotti casting one eye towards next week's DFB-Pokal clash with Schalke, and substitute Coman got on the scoresheet when he raced into the area and prodded the ball beneath Adler following a poor attempted interception from Johan Djourou. Coman got a second four minutes later, firing an expert half-volley past the static Adler, and there was enough time for Robben to ensure that Bayern matched their victory of two seasons ago, the Dutchman racing down the right, cutting onto his left foot and placing the ball into the bottom corner in typically stylish fashion.</blockquote>
