TITLE holder Bayern Munich eased into the second round of the German Cup with a comfortable 4-0 win over amateur Germania Windeck on Monday, with striker Miroslav Klose scoring once and setting up another goal.
It was joined by Schalke 04, which struggled to beat third division club VfR Aalen 2-1, with Peruvian striker Jefferson Farfan scoring once either side of halftime.
Bayern, without injured winger Arjen Robben, fielded a strong side that included Klose and French playmaker Franck Ribery, as it gears up for the start of its Bundesliga title defence on the weekend. In front of 40,000 fans in the Cologne arena to meet the demand from Windeck fans for this match as their own stadium has a capacity of just 2,000, Bayern scored two goals at the end of each half to advance.
Klose, who looks to have reclaimed a starting spot in the team after his successful World Cup campaign where he scored four times, netted a minute before the break when Diego Contento sailed a cross into the box and the striker slotted home. A minute later Bayern doubled its lead when Klose, fed by Philipp Lahm, laid the ball off for Ribery to score,
With the host gradually running out of steam, Toni Kroos added another with a shot from the edge of the box in the 84th minute before striker Mario Gomez, who earlier missed two clear chances, turned inside the box and scored its fourth only a minute later.
Schalke, without new signing Raul, was made to work hard against Aalen, despite the host being down to 10 men from the 18th minute after Andreas Schoen was sent off for a foul on Farfan.
The Peruvian then proceeded to volley Schalke into the lead three minutes before the break and added another with a fine header that wrong-footed Aalen keeper Daniel Bernhardt a minute after the restart.
