Elsewhere, Juergen Klinsmann got his career as Bayern Munich manager off to a winning start with a 7-1 win over SV Lippstadt.

In front of 8,000 fans at the Stadion am Waldschlößchen, a second-string Bayern side raced into a 4-0 lead by half-time, before finishing off their lower league opponents after the break.

Klinsmann told the club's official website: "After two weeks in training, it was interesting to see what we were able to put into practice.

"We've trained very hard, we wanted to see what shape the lads were in, how we played when not in possession, and how the players supported each other. In this respect, it was basically a great game."
