Reuters Berlin 10 September, 2016 02:58 IST Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski made amends for several glaring misses when he scored a late goal and set up another as the German champion ground out a 2-0 win at battling Schalke 04 on Friday. The Poland striker, who netted a hat-trick in a 6-0 home demolition of Werder Bremen on the Bundesliga's opening weekend, spurned several chances in either half before he found the back of the net with a trademark clinical finish in the 81st minute. He then ripped through the home team's defence in stoppage time before squaring a perfect pass for substitute Joshua Kimmich, who sealed the win with an angled shot. A well-organised Schalke frustrated the visitor for long spells and missed its best chance early in the second half when Dutch striker Klaas Jan Huntelaar rattled the crossbar with a screaming shot from 30 metres. Despite having several key players injured, Bayern's new coach Carlo Ancelotti was still spoilt for choice from a deep squad and handed Renato Sanches his debut following the midfielder's 35-million euro ($39.8 million) close-season move from Benfica. Yet the 19-year-old, who helped Portugal win Euro 2016, struggled in his maiden appearance for Bayern as did his team mates against a packed Schalke midfield. Lewandowski skewed a shot wide in the first half and shot over an empty net from four metres in the second before he finally broke the deadlock. The 28-year-old hitman took a defence-splitting pass from Javi Martinez in his stride and buried the ball over advancing keeper Ralf Faehrmann from 14 metres. He missed another close-range sitter in the dying minutes before putting Kimmich through and the versatile midfielder made no mistake from inside the penalty area.
