True to coach the game of philosophy Pep Guardiola, Bayern had 79% of possession, but had more difficulty than expected to overcome the brave amateurs Nöttingen.

The game was marked by the return of Dutch Arjen Robben, who missed the final stretch of last season through injury, and the first goal of the new signing Arturo Vidal, who opened the scoring from the penalty spot after just six minutes of play.

Niklas Hecht-Zirpel, young college who divides his time between football and college mathematics and physical education, equalized ten minutes later, to the delight of the home crowd.

Mario Götze returned to put the Bavarians to 17, and Robert Lewandowski made 3-1 in the 27th.

Bayern failed to swing the network in the second half and the goalkeeper Sven Ulreich, substitute Manuel Neuer, had to make two difficult saves in the final minutes.

The current runner-up Borussia Dortmund also had a performance below expectations, winning by 2-0 Chemnitzer FC the third division, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang goals and Henrik Mkhitaryan.

On Saturday, Wolfsburg began the defense of their title without scares, with rout 4-1 on the Stuttgart Kickers, also of the third division.

Besides Hamburg, another representative of the elite was on the way, Hoffenheim, Brazilian former club Roberto Firmino, now at Liverpool, who lost 2-0 to Munich in 1860, the Second Division.
