Hoffenheim 1-2 Bayern Munich: Champions fight back after Volland's record-tying strike

Robert Lewandowski scored a late winner as Bayern Munich came from behind to beat Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga.

Kevin Volland tied for the fastest goal in Bundesliga history, but substitute Robert Lewandowski netted a late winner as 10-man Bayern Munich beat Hoffenheim 2-1 on Saturday.

Volland capitalized on a mistake from David Alaba to open the scoring after only nine seconds at the Rhein-Neckar-Arena, equaling the record set by Bayer Leverkusen's Karim Bellarabi a year ago Sunday.

Bayern recovered and was deservedly level at halftime after Thomas Muller took his tally to three goals in the first two Bundesliga games of the season, having netted twice in the 5-0 thrashing of Hamburg.
