Bayern Crushes Auckland: Ten Goals Against Amateurs

The game began with some heroics from Auckland's goalkeeper Connor Tracy, who made several impressive saves early on. However, in the 6th minute, Kingsley Coman headed the ball into the net, signaling the start of a total Bayern onslaught. Soon, the game turned into an overwhelming attacking spree from the German side.

By the 21st minute, the score was already 4-0. Sasha Boë and Michael Olise, who particularly shone in this match, ruthlessly tore through Auckland's defense. Olise scored a brace, netting his second goal before the break — a beautifully placed shot from 25 meters could easily be called the highlight of the game. Also scoring was Thomas Müller, who increased his tally to 50 goals for Bayern in international tournaments.

Despite the loud victory, Harry Kane failed to score. He played just over an hour, actively participating in combinations and distracting the opponents, but did not make a single shot on goal. On social media, English fans jokingly remarked, "The only opponent who managed to stop Kane was Auckland!"

Relentless Second Half

After the break, Auckland unexpectedly gathered themselves and managed to keep their goal intact for more than 20 minutes. Vincent Kompany substituted several key players, including Olise, who rested for the entire second half. However, Jamal Musiala, returning from injury, immediately showed his form — a powerful long-range shot in the 68th minute and a confidently converted penalty. The third goal came as a gift from an Auckland defender who made a poor pass to the goalkeeper.

The tenth goal was scored by Thomas Müller, who wrapped up the demolition and also marked his milestone — his 250th goal for Bayern in major tournaments.

Auckland: Dreams and Reality

For Auckland, this match will still go down in history. The only shot on target, from Angus Kilkoly, was met with applause as if it were a real goal. Dylan McKernan tried to break through to the goal several times in street-dribbler style, but what can players do when half of them have jobs outside of football against the multi-million-dollar budget of the German champions?

Auckland's head coach Ivan Vrsaljko confessed after the match, "Playing against such players is a dream. Many of our guys took time off or asked for leave from work. I'm proud of everyone who didn’t hide and gave their all."

For Bayern, It’s Just the Beginning

Now, Bayern faces more serious challenges ahead. On June 20th, they will play against one of South America's most decorated clubs — Boca Juniors — in Miami. Kompany noted, "This match will be the highlight of the group stage. It’s for games like this that people watch the Club World Cup."
