(CNN) -- Bayern Munich came from a goal down to forge a 2-1 victory over Basel in Switzerland on Tuesday in their Champions League Group E clash.
Last season's runners-up were beaten by Mainz at the weekend in a setback to their Bundesliga title defense, but showed their mettle in Switzerland to secure a second successive win in the Champions League.
Alexander Frei put the home side ahead after 18 minutes with a fine strike before World Cup star Bastian Schweinsteiger netted a second-half penalty to level and then scored the winner from close range in the 89th minute.
In the other Group E clash, AS Roma scored their first win of the Champions League campaign with a 2-1 win over Romanian side CFR Cluj at the Stadio Olimpico.
Goals from French central defender Philippe Mexes and Italy striker Marco Borriello gave Claudio Ranieiri's men the points despite Ionut Rada's late consolation strike.
