Muller on target as Bayern ease to friendly win

Thomas Muller was among the scorers as Bayern Munich began their preparations for 2017-18 with a 4-1 friendly win at Bavarian league side Wolfratshausen.

Mats Hummels and Kingsley Coman were also named by head coach Carlo Ancelotti in his line-up for the match, which was played over two 30-minute halves, although minor muscular problems ruled out Franck Ribery and Javi Martinez.

Teenage striker Wintzheimer was also guilty of missing a pair of clear chances before Muller doubled the lead thanks to Coman's cutback on the stroke of half-time.

Introduced at the break, Franck Evina made an instant impact by crowning a slick passing move from close range – Coman again the provider – and the Cameroon-born 17-year-old doubled his tally a minute from full-time.

Fifth-tier Wolfratshausen did manage to grab a consolation through Vincenzo Potenza, who beat Tom Starke – the veteran filling in between the posts for Bayern despite his retirement at the end of last season as a result of Manuel Neuer and Sven Ulreich still being on the mend from injuries.
