The capital side got off to the perfect start as Per Skjelbred found Adrian Ramos from a corner and the striker headed his side in front.

It almost got worse for Bayern in the 10th minute as Anis Ben-Hatira fired a shot from the edge of the box following a counter-attack but his effort cracked against the bar.

Toni Kroos had a chance to pull Bayern level with 20 minutes gone but Thomas Kraft was equal to his shot from inside the box.

However, on the half-hour mark Franck Ribery won a free kick, which he took himself and from it Mario Mandzukic headed his side level.

Within 10 minutes of the second half the champions were two ahead. Mandzukic headed in another free kick, this time from Bastian Schweinsteiger before substitute Mario Gotze was unmarked from a Rafinha cross to head in.

However, Hertha fought back and pulled a goal back almost immediately through Ben-Hatira who rifled into the top corner from the edge of the box.

They could not add an equaliser, however, as the hosts held on for another win.
