Bayern’s opening surge overwhelms Stuttgart in Bundesliga debut

Three minutes after the break, Michael Olise slipped past the Stuttgart defence to fire Bayern Munich into the lead at the Allianz Arena, a decisive 55th‑minute strike that set the tone for the defending champions' 5‑1 victory over VFB Stuttgart in the Bundesliga opener.

Early dominance and first goal

Stuttgart began with initiative, pressing high at the Allianz Arena. Bayern earned a corner, Dayot Upamecano scored, delivering the first ‘Galop Infernal’ celebration. Harry Kane, Giulia Gwinn and Vincent Kompany collected their 2025/26 awards before the match. Vince the Prince, i.e. Vincent Kompany, started the game with Ismael Saibari on the bench, ahead of summer signing Nathaniel Brown.

Second‑half turning points

Stuttgart restored parity in the 52nd minute when Josha Vagnoman struck after the ball rebounded off the Bayern line. Three minutes later Michael Olise broke free of the Stuttgart marker to score the go‑ahead goal in the 55th minute. Two minutes after that Vagnoman inadvertently turned the ball into his own net, a particularly ugly own‑goal that pushed Bayern ahead 3‑1 by the 57th minute. The rapid succession of goals within five minutes swung momentum firmly in Bayern’s favour.

Later in the half Aleksandar Stankovic added a fourth Bayern goal, finishing a swift counter‑attack launched by Ismael Saibari. Luis Diaz capped the scoring in the final moments, securing Bayern's fifth tally. The goals extended Bayern’s lead to an unassailable four‑goal margin.

The 5‑1 triumph not only affirmed Bayern Munich’s status as defending champions but also propelled them to the top of the Bundesliga table after the opening round. The victory marked Bayern’s first match of the 2026/27 Bundesliga campaign.
