Douglas Costa and Mario Gotze were also on target as Bayern eased past the visitors to extend their winning run to 10 games in all competitions.

Was the result fair?
Questions do not come much easier than this one. Bayern were dominant from start to finish and the match was over as a contest inside 30 minutes as Bayern cruised into a 4-0 advantage. Dinamo were simply not competitive when the hosts were dominating possession and they never looked organised enough to make life difficult for Bayern's many creative players. In the first hour the onslaught just kept on coming, and with the space on offer to the attack-minded players, an emphatic victory really was the only realistic outcome. Matches are rarely so one-sided in Europe's elite club competition.
Bayern's performance
Pep Guardiola is unlikely to have ever felt so relaxed on the touchline. From the first whistle it quickly became clear that Dinamo were no match for this Bayern side, despite their shock win over Arsenal a fortnight ago. Bayern moved the ball at pace from midfield, and in contrast to many of their displays last season, they took full advantage of the pace on the wings. Costa and Kingsley Coman were a constant threat without having to do anything extraordinary, which allowed the likes of Thiago Alcantara and Joshua Kimmich to find their teammates on a regular basis.
Dinamo may have been poor, but Guardiola will be delighted with the ruthlessness shown by his players. Lewandowski was simply too good for the defenders marking him and he capitalised to destroy the visitors in the first half. With a lack of threat being carried by the Croatian side, Bayern's defenders were able to double up as extra men in midfield and they simply bossed proceedings to create the space they required. Bayern were dominant throughout, but tests are certain to get tougher.
Dinamo Zagreb's performance
If teams come to the Allianz Arena and are beaten by the better side, it really is hard to be too critical. However, this was just not a performance which should be seen in the Champions League. Many expected Dinamo to sit back and make it difficult for Bayern, and while that was clearly the intention, individual mistakes were far too frequent from Zoran Mamic's side. Eduardo was at fault for the goals from Costa and Gotze, while the performance from 18-year-old defender Filip Benkovic must rank among the worst in Champions League history.
Dinamo would have worked hard on defensive shape and discipline in training this week, but neither skill was evident over the course of the 90 minutes. It was far too easy for the likes of Coman, Costa and Gotze to find space in dangerous areas and the Bayern players never appeared to be hurried in possession. Any side must be at their best to stand a chance on a trip to face Bayern, but the sloppiness and naivety of this display was inexcusable.
Sports Mole's man of the match
Robert Lewandowski: This decision really was not as easy as it may look. Thiago dominated in midfield to control the match for Bayern, but it is impossible not to pay tribute to Lewandowski after such an emphatic win. The Polish striker was clinical once again and his movement off the ball was too much for handle. 10 goals in three games tells the story of a player at the top of his game.
Biggest gaffe
Benkovic will never forget his night at the Allianz Arena. The teenager has an impressive reputation, but a dreadful 45-minute performance was summed up when his decision to put his head on an awkward pass gifted Bayern their second goal. In truth, he was not the only candidate in a game full of sloppy errors.
Referee performance
Aleksei Kulbakov was disappointing in the first half as he missed a clear penalty when Josip Pivaric handled the ball in the box, before failing to spot a foul on El Arbi Hillel Soudani in the build-up to Bayern's opener.
What next?
Bayern: Guardiola had the luxury of removing key players in the second half as Bayern switch their focus to Sunday's meeting with Borussia Dortmund.
Dinamo: A return to league action for the Croatian leaders comes against Inter Zapresic on Saturday.
