JAKARTA - Two first-half goals created in a one-minute period by striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting gave Bayern Munich a 3-2 win in a Bundesliga match at home to Hertha Berlin on Saturday night.

Bayern, who were already 3-0 up in the first half, had to go through a tense last minute when defender Dayot Upamecano was seen handball in the second half extra minutes as Hertha tried hard to equalize in the final minutes.

However, referee Bastian Dankert decided there was no violation in the Bayern penalty box so they also confirmed his eighth consecutive win in all competitions.

"It was a tense match. We were already 3-0 up but didn't create many clean opportunities," Nagelsmann told television network SID, quoted by Antara, Sunday.

"In the end we were forced to spend everything. It's a game you have to win."

Nagelsmann told a post-match press conference that defender Alphonso Davies suffered "at least a torn muscle" and required further scanning, so the 22-year-old is doubtful of appearing to defend Canada in the 2022 World Cup.

Manager Hertha Sandro Schwarz praised the appearance of his team in therapy, admitting he was annoyed that he could not get a single point from this match.

Jamal Musala put Bayern ahead in the 12th minute, before Choupo-Moting's two quick goals sent the visitors ahead 3-0.

Dodi Lukebagio's 40th-minute volley sent Hertha back one goal, before Davie Selke scored a penalty in the 45th minute.

Bayern temporarily topped the Bundesliga standings before Union Berlin had a chance to overtake him again if they won against Leverkusen on Sunday night.
