Sensation in the German championship was provided by the return of "Kaiserslautern" to the "Bundesliga" competition after a four-year break, defeating the country's champion, Munich's "Bayern", 2-0 at home.
At the end of the first half, the hosts scored two goals and successfully defended their lead after the break, although Louis van Gaal's players controlled the ball for 72% of the time.
In the 35th minute, Croatian Ivo Iličevič scored the first goal from outside the penalty area with a curved shot, and shortly after his successful pass, his compatriot Srdanas Lakičius also found the net.
Both teams celebrated victories in the first round of matches.
