BERLIN (Reuters) - German champions Bayern Munich needed more than 80 minutes to break the deadlock against regional club Drochtersen/Assel and win 1-0 in the German Cup first round on Saturday as holders Eintracht Frankfurt crashed out against amateurs Ulm.

Bayern, who won the German Super Cup against Frankfurt last Sunday, looked far from ready for the Bundesliga season starting next week, failing to create chances against the regional club despite almost complete possession.
