Javi Martinez headed the winner for Bayern Munich in a 2-1 victory against Mainz on Saturday to secure the club's third Telekom Cup title.

Bayern Munich won their first trophy of 2017 on Saturday, lifting the Telekom Cup after Javi Martinez headed the winner in a 2-1 victory over Mainz.

The Bundesliga champions, who beat Fortuna Dusseldorf 4-1 on penalties in their semi-final earlier in the day, took the lead in just the fourth minute.

Franck Ribery played a one-two with Thomas Muller and the winger ran clear of the Mainz defence to enter the box and slide in a neat left-footed finish past goalkeeper Jannik Huth.

"It's always nice to win," said goalscorer Ribery. "But it's also important that we played well."
