BERLIN -- Defending champion Bayern Munich kicked off the new German season with a 3-1 win over visiting Borussia Moenchengladbach in Pep Guardiolas first Bundesliga game on Friday. Arjen Robben opened the scoring with a deft flick from Frank Riberys sublime pass in the 12th minute, Mario Mandzukic pounced to make it 2-0 four minutes later, and David Alaba sealed the result with a penalty in the 69th, after Dantes own goal had given his former teammates some hope in the 40th. Bayerns penalty was the second awarded for handball against the unfortunate Alvaro Dominguez in as many minutes. Marc-Andre ter Stegen saved Thomas Muellers effort from the first spot kick, only for Tobias Welz to award another against Dominguez as he tried to clear the rebound.
