Bayern Munich kick off Bundesliga with crushing win over Stuttgart

In the Bundesliga opener, Bayern Munich marched past Stuttgart at the Allianz Arena despite missing playmaker Jamal Musiala, while the VfB, also depleted, struggled to contain the Bavarian onslaught, eventually succumbing to a 5‑1 defeat. The match featured early pressure from the hosts, a swift equaliser, and a flurry of goals in the second half.

Opening fireworks at the Allianz Arena

The first breakthrough came in the 21st minute when Dayot Upamecano rose to meet Joshua Kimmich’s corner, nodding the ball past Fabian Bredlow to give Le Rekordmeister the lead. Les Bayern celebrated the moment, though the scorer also earned a caution for a prior challenge, recorded among the buts.

Stuttgart, the Die Schwaben, began the match dominating possession and creating several chances, notably a cross from Tiago Tomas that struck the bar. Their persistence paid off in the 52nd minute when Josha Vagnoman capitalised on a loose ball to level the score.

Three minutes later Michael Olise restored Bayern’s advantage, threading a low pass from Kimmich between Bredlow’s legs to score the second goal. Six minutes after that, Vagnoman inadvertently turned a defensive clearance into his own net, a CSC own‑goal that pushed the Bavarois lead to three.

Olise appeared poised to double his tally, but the referee’s VAR intervened at the 63rd minute, ruling him offside from a Harry Kane pass, nullifying the effort. The decision left Bayern still ahead but highlighted the fine margins in the contest.

Ismael Saibari supplied a pinpoint cross in the 82nd minute, which Alexsandar Pavlović met calmly to make it 4‑1. In stoppage time, Díaz completed the onslaught, receiving another clever pass from Saibari to tap in at 90+2, sealing the victory for the Rekordmeister at the Allianz Arena. Pavlovi’s composure under pressure was evident as he finished cleanly.

Vincent Kompany’s Bayern lined up in a 4‑2‑3‑1, with Neuer guarding the goal and a midfield anchored by Kimmich and Pavlović. Opposing coach Sebastian Hoeness fielded VfB Stuttgart in a 3‑4‑3, relying on the experience of Bredlow and the pace of Vagnoman.

The win extends Bayern’s unbeaten run in the Bundesliga to 44 matches, a record that still stands. The next opponent will therefore hold the key to delivering the Bavarois side their first loss of the campaign.
