Bayern Munich strolled to the second round of the DFB-Pokal on Friday evening, hammering Carl-Zeiss Jena in a 5-0 rout.
The match was always going to be a struggle for the fourth-tier hosts, who haven't been in the professional (1. and 2. Bundesliga) German leagues since 2007-08 and were relegated to the Regionalliga Nordost in 2012.
And sure enough, Bayern found it to be a cakewalk. They went ahead inside three minutes and were 3-0 up at half-time, at which time they were stroking the ball about as though the game were a training exercise: Casual flicks and clever flair moves came at the expense of efficiency, which by that point was of little necessity.
