BERLIN: Robert Lewandowski netted four goals including the decisive added-time penalty as defending Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich survived a fight-back by Hertha Berlin to seal a nervy 4-3 win on Sunday (Monday in Manila). Hertha pulled a goal back when Cordoba struck with a header on 59 minutes from a free-kick by Matheus Cunha, who has been called up by Brazil. The 21-year-old Cunha then made it 2-2 after dribbling past Jerome Boateng, then beat David Alaba and Benjamin Pavard before firing past Neuer on 71 minutes. Bayern again pulled ahead when Mueller met Alaba’s free-kick and served up a tap-in for Lewandowski on 85 minutes. There was still time for Hertha replacement Jessic Ngankam to header an equaliser past Neuer on 88 minutes.
