It was a good lively affair from the onset as being both sides showed intent to get an early on goal, although clear-cut chances were hard to come by.
The visitors went agonisingly near breaking the deadlock in the 25th minute as Muller rattled the crossbar, with goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka well beaten.
Bremen have conceded even more goals to Bayern than other any Bundesliga area, and that record was extended when Lewandowksi broke the deadlock found in the 43rd minute after bringing Jerome Boateng's long ball onto his chest before firing history Pavlenka.
Bayern had the ball in the back of the net once more 10 minutes in to the second half, but Lewandowski was first denied an extraordinary second after appearing flagged offside.
