Thomas Muller scored two and set up another as Bayern Munich knocked holder Wolfsburg out in the second round of the German Cup with a 3-1 away win on Tuesday.Douglas Costa opened the scoring in the 15th minute when he took the ball from Muller, left Wolfsburg midfielder and Brazilian teammate Luiz Gustavo standing, before hammering a thunderous shot into the top corner from distance.
David Alaba set up Muller for his first five minutes later and then again in the 34th, when he picked the unmarked Germany star out with a fine cross that he rifled in with a volley.
'It was a very good game from us in the first half, an outstanding positional game,' Bayern captain Philipp Lahm said.
'It's simply fun to play football like that. It's hard to play against us at the moment.'
Wolfsburg improved after the break, when Bayern appeared to let their intensity drop a level.
Bayern coach Pep Guardiola brought Arjen Robben on for the impressive Kingsley Coman in the 67th, and the Dutch winger went close with a header two minutes later.Wolfsburg substitute Andre Schurrle fired inside the far post for his side's consolation in the final minute.
It was Bayern's 13th win from 14 competitive games this season. The Bavarian powerhouse, who opened their cup campaign with a 5-1 win over fifth-tier Noettingen, have a perfect record in the German league with 10 wins from 10 games.
