Injury-ravaged Bayern Munich beat Hoffenheim 2-0 on Saturday , shrugging off a string of absences and their midweek Champions League defeat at Porto to close in on the Bundesliga title . Sebastian Rode scored in the 38th minute and Hoffenheim 's Andreas Beck added an own goal in stoppage time as Bayern , with youngsters Mitchell Weiser and Gianluca Gaudino in the lineup , opened a 13-point lead over second-placed VfL Wolfsburg , in action against Schalke 04 on Sunday , with five matches left . The German champions , who host Porto on Tuesday in the Champions League quarter-final second leg after Wednesday 's 3-1 loss , were without half a dozen starters , including Philipp Lahm , Arjen Robben , Franck Ribery and Bastian Schweinsteiger .

But goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was in top form , spectacularly denying Anthony Modeste at point blank range after a defensive blunder by Brazilian Dante . Rode then made the most of Bayern 's second chance of the game , curling his shot from the edge of the box past keeper Oliver Baumann . Rode was lucky not to be penalised for bringing down Eugen Polanski in the area a minute later but there was no denying the dominance of Bayern , who came close again when Robert Lewandowski scraped the bar at the start of the second-half . They did get a second goal when Thomas Mueller charged into the box and cut the ball back to the unfortunate Hoffenheim captain Beck who slipped the ball into his own net .
