It wasn't pretty, but the wait for James Rodriguez's first Bayern Munich goal is over.
The Colombian, who joined the Germans on a two-year loan from Real Madrid, doubled Bayern's lead over FC Schalke on Tuesday after Corentin Tolisso set him up for a slick finish.
Alone in the box, Rodriguez faked a shot into the far corner before sliding the ball in without much pace to register his first goal at the club level in almost five months.
136 - @jamesdrodriguez (@FCBayernEN) scores his 1st goal on club stage since 136 days - his 1st goal in the #Bundesliga. Cheers. #S04FCB
