Toni and Klose deliver for Bayern

FC Bayern München got their Bundesliga campaign off to a successful start as new signings Luca Toni and Miroslav Klose both scored in a 3-0 win at home to promoted FC Hansa Rostock.

Klose double
Bayern spent heavily in the summer following last season's disappointing fourth-placed finish and they saw a quick return on their investment as Italian striker Toni, an €11m signing from ACF Fiorentina, turned in Klose's cross to put the Bavarian side ahead on 14 minutes. Klose, who cost Bayern a reported €12m from Werder Bremen, made sure of the points after the break with goals on 66 and 85 minutes as Bayern impressed with a fine attacking performance.

'Constant threat'
"Three points and three goals is a good start," said Bayern coach Ottmar Hitzfeld, who opted to start with Toni although the striker only resumed training on Thursday after a knee injury. "We showed discipline and kept pushing forward. The second half was very good. I'm glad the decision to play Toni worked out so well. He's a constant threat in front of goal."

Bremen held
Victory gives Bayern an early advantage over champions VfB Stuttgart who were held to a 2-2 draw by FC Schalke 04 on Friday night. Bremen, who finished third last season, were also forced to settle for a point after VfL Bochum 1848 battled back from two goals down to earn a 2-2 draw. Collin Benjamin scored the only goal of the game as Hamburger SV defeated Hannover 96, and there were also victories for Eintracht Frankfurt, 1-0 against Hertha BSC Berlin, and DSC Arminia Bielefeld who were impressive 3-1 winners away to Felix Magath's big spending VfL Wolfsburg. Bayer 04 Leverkusen drew 0-0 at home to FC Energie Cottbus.
