Bayern Munich wraps up a comfortable three points in their first Bundesliga match at home, beating Wolfsburg by two goals to nil.
The result was wrapped up for the hosts by the interval, with Musiala and Muller each getting a goal to continue their positive start to the campaign.
Kovac continued to inject attacking players into his side with little effect.
However, Neuer was mainly kept out of the action – making just two routine saves.
No goals were scored in the second half with the hosts not exerting themselves too much.
Though Mane was twice denied goals in the game due to offside.

Goals:
MUSIALA BREAKS THE DEADLOCK! 1-0 BAYERN MUNICH! It’s a stunning strike from the Germany international, who continues his fantastic run to start the season. Receiving a pass from Muller with his back to goal 20 yards out, Musiala spins to dribble past three markers before firing a low shot that beats the outstretched palm of Casteels!
MULLER MAKES IT TWO! 2-0! Davies drives on a trademark run down the left flank, evading tackles as he charges towards the touchline. The Canada international pulls it back to Kimmich, who has a first-time strike from the edge of the penalty area, which takes a touch from Muller as it flies through the crowd of bodies and wrong-foots Casteels!
