MATS HUMMELS scored his first-ever goal for Bayern Munich and Robert Lewandowski hit a hat-trick as Carlo Ancelotti’s side ran riot against Carl Zeiss Jena in the first round of the German Cup.

Bayern came into the match on the back of their 2-0 German Super Cup win over Borussia Dortmund last weekend.

And the Bundesliga champions hit the ground running as Lewandowski fired home after just three minutes.

The Polish hitman scored a second in the 34th minute to put his side in complete control before tying up a first-half hat-trick with a finish just before the whistle.

Midfield ace Arturo Vidal put his side four goals ahead in the 72nd minute, with Hummels heading home just five minutes later.

The defender said: "It feels very good. Scoring a goal is the best for a defender too."

Bayern will now be hoping to carry their good form into their first match of the new league campaign, kicking off their title defence against Werder Bremen in a week’s time.

There could also be a debut for big-money summer signing Renato Sanches.

The Portuguese ace is back in training after helping his country win Euro 2016 and will be hoping to get the nod alongside Vidal in midfield next Friday.
