Chubu Moting fired an upward shot into the upper left corner from outside the penalty area to score Bayern’s second goal, as the Cameroon striker scored seven goals in his last six matches in all competitions. Chubu Moting also had an overhead kick that was disallowed for offside shortly before.

Benjamin Pavard opened the scoring for Bayern with a header when he was left in the space in front of the goal at a corner in the 32nd minute.

Then, the closest goal for Inter came when Cristian Aslani put the ball into the net from a clear offside position in a free kick right after the break.
With Bayern in complete control of the match after Chubu Moting’s goal, Nagelsmann opted to give time off the bench to two promising youngsters, 17-year-old striker Matthijs Tal and 16-year-old midfielder Paul Wanner.
Edin Deco’s shot was saved by Bayern Munich goalkeeper Sven Ulrich in stoppage time.
Bayern are the only team this season to have scored six wins from six group stage matches after the only other team to win all of their first five matches, Napoli, lost 2-0 to Liverpool on Tuesday.
