Bayern started brightly and they were ahead inside three minutes as Javi Martinez put in a Kroos corner with an overhead scissor-kick.
Artur Sobiech headed a great chance into the hands of Manuel Neuer as Hannover looked to equalise, but they went 2-0 down on 23 minutes, this time Kroos with the goal.

Five minutes before half-time and the hosts looked to have wrapped up the points when Franck Ribery added a third.
On 63 minutes it was 4-0. Kroos was again the provider and this time it was Dante who got his name on the scoresheet.
Mario Gomez replaced Mario Mandzukic in the 65th minute, and just one minute later he struck to make it 5-0 for the hosts.
