The Portugal forward poked home a second in the 77th minute, using the bottom of his boot to slide the ball between Manuel Neuer's legs for the game-winner.
The goals continued a trend for Ronaldo, who has feasted on Bayern Munich in Champions League play, having scored five times in five previous meetings with the German side.
