German Cup holders Bayern Munich have sealed a spot in the third round of the DFB Pokal after beating Augsburg 3-1.

Veteran defender Philipp Lahm scored the opener for Bayern after only two minutes into the game. Julian Green then headed his first goal for the club to double the lead for Bayern 3 minutes before the break.

Augsburg pulled a goal back following a sensational strike from Ji Dong-Won. But the game wasn't finished there for Bayern as substitute David Alaba fired home in stoppage time to seal the 3-1 victory for Bayern.
