Bayern toiled to break down the Nürnberg defence in what was the 187th derby between the Bavarian sides and David Alaba had a first-half penalty saved by the visitors' Raphael Schäfer. Franck Ribéry met Philipp Lahm's cross with a fine header to break the deadlock in the 69th minute, and Arjen Robben sealed the result when he eluded three defenders and scored through the goalkeeper's legs in the 78th.
The Bayern striker sportske Mario Mandzukic was fortunate to avoid a red card for a dangerous challenge on Berkay Dabanli before the break. The Nürnberg defender was able to continue after treatment on the sideline.
Ribéry scored one minute after Götze made way for Toni Kroos, prompting a wave of relief around the stadium. The Frenchman was shown a yellow card for taking off his jersey while celebrating his first header sportske in 54 Bundesliga goals.
