Bayern turn Allianz Arena into Oktoberfest spectacle as Olise dazzles

As the Allianz Arena lights flickered to life on the evening of 18 September 2026, El Bayern stepped onto the pitch with a special Oktoberfest kit, ready to kick off Bundesliga round four against Union Berlin in a city buzzing for the upcoming Wiesn.

The club abandoned its traditional red strip for a bright Bavarian‑blue jersey emblazoned with the Wiesn logo, a nod to the festival that will dominate Munich in the coming days. The change was highlighted in a report by ANNA SZILAGYI of EFE, who noted the crowd’s anticipation.

Olise's hat‑trick steals the show

Michael Olise opened the scoring in the 42nd minute, curling a low shot from the edge of the box past Union Berlin keeper Ronnow. He added a second in the 73rd, dribbling a long ball from Bischof and slipping past the same keeper. Three minutes later Olise completed his hat‑trick with a powerful strike from distance, sealing his personal masterpiece.

Bayern reclaim Bundesliga lead

Harry Kane arrived on the scoresheet in the 37th minute, converting a close‑range chance to make it 2‑0. He doubled his tally at 53 minutes after a superb cross from the French winger, and the goal marked his 100th in just 98 Bundesliga appearances, eclipsing Dieter Müller’s 129‑match record.

The German midfielder Jamal Musiala broke the deadlock in the 17th minute, firing a low shot from the edge of the area into the net. Bayern’s relentless pressure left Union Berlin, currently 16th in the table, with only a timid response before halftime. The victory propelled Bayern back to the top of the Bundesliga.

Vincent Kompany’s side continued the on‑fire display after the break, with substitute Saibari coming on to add the fourth goal in the 70th minute after a fine individual effort. The Bayern defence, marshalled by Manuel Neuer, kept a clean sheet throughout.

As the final whistle blew, the Allianz Arena erupted in chants, the crowd reveling in a night that felt like a pre‑Oktoberfest party. The special kit and the festive atmosphere linked the triumph to the upcoming Wiesn, turning the victory into a Munich‑wide celebration.

Marc Canosa noted that the 7‑0 drubbing not only delighted fans but also saw Bayern retake the Bundesliga lead, signalling the Bavarian giants’ intent to dominate the season as Munich prepares for the Wiesn.
