Sandro Wagner and Thomas Muller scored early goals as Bayern Munich narrowly averted a slip-up in the DFB-Pokal.
Bayern Munich were less than convincing in edging past fourth-tier Rodinghausen 2-1 to reach the DFB-Pokal third round on Tuesday.
Early goals from Sandro Wagner, his first of the campaign, and Thomas Muller were enough for victory but Niko Kovac was left with more questions than answers after a disjointed display.
Bayern began brightly as two goals inside the opening 13 minutes set up what appeared certain to be a walkover, even accounting for Renato Sanches' failure to convert a 23rd-minute penalty.
