Neuer's short pass to Thiago Alcantara  was intercepted by Jonas Hofmann, who teed up the Gladbach captain 15 yards out  to fire a crisp drive into the bottom-right corner.   A shell-shocked Bayern finally woke from their slumber after the half-hour  mark, Arjen Robben and Lewandowski forcing Yann Sommer to make two saves in  quick succession, but they were unable to reduce the deficit before the  break.   Kovac replaced Robben and Thomas Muller with Franck Ribery and Serge Gnabry  at the interval, but they were unable to spark their side into life during a  tepid start to the second period.   Bayern were denied a grandstand finish when Lewandowski's effort was ruled  out for offside 20 minutes from time, before substitute Herrmann added a third  – despite a VAR review – in the 88th minute, drilling past Neuer from eight  yards.</blockquote>
