However, it were the visitors who continued to produce scoring opportunities as Jerome Boateng had to scratch Salomon Kalou's effort from sharp angle off the goal line on 28 minutes.
After the restart, Bayern Munich increased the pressure but Hertha Berlin continued to create the more promising chances as Joshua Kimmich had to block Davie Selke's shot on the empty goal in the 56th minute.
The hosts eventually broke the deadlock in the 62nd minute when Javi Martinez headed home James Rodriguez' corner kick.
Things went from bad to worse for Berlin as Karim Rekik received his marching orders following violent conduct and a straight red card in the 84th minute. Hence, Bayern were able to protect their narrow lead to the end.
