Bayern thrashes Bodø/Glimt in the King's Class opener on the field

On 10 September 2026, FC Bayern Munich and FK Bodø/Glimt met in the Bundesliga opener on the home ground, and Bayern won comfortably 5-0. The summary lists the goals from Jamal Musiala, Harry Kane, Alphonso Davies and Michael Olise, while Bodø/Glimt went down to ten men in the 87th minute.

Early domination and first chance

From the start, Bayern dictated the play and pressed the visitors deep into their own half. Already in the 5th minute, Luis Díaz missed the early lead with a header after a Kimmich cross, goalkeeper Nikita Haikin made a strong save. Despite the early pressure, the game remained goalless until halftime.

Goal sequence and match progression

After a blocked attempt by Kane, Musiala grabbed the second ball and scored from the turn to make it 1-0 (47'). A little later Kane headed the ball after a free‑kick cross from Olise to make it 2-0 (61'). Harry celebrated the header together with Jonathan Tah and Dayot Upamecano, as the photo by Alex Grimm shows. In the 77th minute, Alphonso Davies added the 3-0 with a drop‑kick, and Olise doubled the lead in the 83rd minute after a pass from Lennart Karl to make it 4-0. His second goal came in stoppage time (90+2) to seal the final score.

Managerial decisions and final phase

Manager Vincent Kompany changed his starting XI after the 0-0 draw in the Bundesliga against Schalke 04, with Jamal Musiala, Michael Olise and Harry Kane taking the places of Nathaniel Brown, Lennart Karl and Ismael Saibari. For the visitors, coach Kjetil Knutsen made a substitution after the 2-1 win over Fredrikstad: Joshua Kitolano started for Ola Brynhildsen.

In the 58th minute, Sondre Brunstad Fet showed the first yellow card of the match to Olise after a foul. Shortly afterwards, in the 87th minute, Odin Bjørtuft gave a red card to Olise for a foul on the edge of the penalty area, meaning Bodø/Glimt had to play the final phase with ten men.

The match ended with a clear result for Bayern, who demonstrated their attacking strength with five goals. The goals were shared among four players, with Olise scoring twice to put the final touch on the game.

The contrast between Bayern's tactical breadth and Bodø/Glimt's defensive problems highlights that Bayern had the upper hand from the start in the Bundesliga opener and the visitors found few chances to turn the game around.
