Bavaria scored a decisive 6-0 victory against RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga opener. The FCB offense showed a world-class performance with impressive goals.

A successful Bundesliga start for FC Bayern! On the 1st day of play, the Munich team was able to score a 6-0 victory over RB Leipzig. The reigning German champion showed a dominant performance, with the FCB professionals shining in the offense with impressive combinations. In the second half, Harry Kane scored a perfect hat-trick.

On Friday evening, Vincent Kompany used the same starting lineup as in the Supercup in Stuttgart. There was no place for the youngsters - Aleksandar Pavlovic, however, made it back into the squad.

Bavaria got off to a good start in the game. After just 11 minutes, Konrad Laimer came to a conclusion in a dangerous position in the penalty area on the right, Harry Kane set the Austrian national player in scene with a flank behind the chain. Laimer, however, failed at Peter Gulacsi with his shot on the far corner.

Olise smashes Bayern into the lead

In the 18th minute, it was Michael Olise who brought in a sharp flank that suddenly slipped through towards the RB goal. Gulacsi, however, strongly parried again. Seven minutes later, Kimmich set Kane up with a chip ball from the half-field, the Englishman took the ball volley and just missed the Leipzig goal on the left.

And then it was Olise who put Bayern in the lead. In the 27th minute, the ball came to the Frenchman, who smashed it with his weak right foot from a half-right position in the penalty area - this time Gulacsi was helpless. The ball crashed into the left corner. Previously, the Munich team had combined strongly over Stanisic, Gnabry, and Goretzka. In the end, the ball landed somewhat luckily with Olise.

After that, the reigning German champion really got going. In the 32nd minute, new signing Luis Díaz increased the score to 2-0 after a world-class combination. In tight spaces, the Bayern players played through the Leipzig defense, and via Kane, the ball came to Gnabry, who played a heel pass to Díaz. The Colombian set a hard shot with his strong right foot under the crossbar. The lead was absolutely in order, Leipzig didn't get into the game.

Gnabry, Olise, and Díaz world-class

After 40 minutes, the combination machine continued, this time with a strong ball from Díaz to Gnabry, whose deflected shot sailed to the crossbar.

In the 42nd minute, the Bayern show continued with goals: after a corner, Gnabry started dribbling about 25 meters from the goal and delayed his shot strongly before finally passing to Olise. The French national player finished with his left foot in the penalty area and made it 3-0. Leipzig still didn't get into the game.

So Bayern went into the break with a 3-0 lead. After the change of sides, the guests were able to gain more playing shares. Leipzig came into ball possession phases more often and pushed the Munich team into their own half. However, the team from Ole Werner didn't become really dangerous.

Hattrick-Kane makes half a dozen full

The record champion, on the other hand, came to counter-attacks again and again. Like in the 60th minute, where Olise tried a long shot and just missed. A minute later, Upamecano was inattentive and lost the ball at the 6-yard box, whereupon Nusa came to a conclusion and just missed.

And then Kane struck coldly: in the 64th minute, Laimer ran a counter, played on Gnabry, who strongly asserted himself in the center and played on Díaz. The Colombian dribbled a few meters and played on Kane, who pretended to shoot, fooled the RB defense, and then finished. The 4-0 score was a bit flattering in this phase, but once again a world-class combination from the Munich offense.

Nusa scored the supposed 1-4 goal in the 66th minute. From a half-left position, the wing striker shot with his left foot and hit the ball unstoppable for Manuel Neuer. But beforehand, Lukeba didn't execute a free kick correctly and simply dribbled away instead. Therefore, the goal was disallowed.

In this context, Vincent Kompany brought Minjae Kim for Jonathan Tah, Aleksandar Pavlovic for Leon Goretzka, Lennart Karl for Serge Gnabry, and Sacha Boey for Konrad Laimer. And Bayern? They just kept going. Kane pulled in from half-left in the 74th minute and shot flat and hard at the far corner - and the ball went in (5-0).

Cup game in Wiesbaden ahead

In the 78th minute, Kane then made the hat-trick perfect and the half dozen full. Kim set off with the ball to sprint and came up to the RB 16-yard box, then played left to Kane, who finished directly and made it 6-0. The Munich offense remained ice-cold. Afterwards, the game just trickled along. Jonah Kusi-Asare came into the game in the final minutes for Kane. It remained 6-0.

For Bayern, it's on to the cup after the gala performance. There, the Munich team will play in the first round in Wiesbaden on Wednesday evening (8:45 pm).
