Manita fuels Bayern’s early dominance over Stuttgart
Under the floodlights of the Allianz Arena, the Jornada 1 Bundesliga opener in Múnich saw Manita’s Bayern Munich roar to a 5‑1 triumph over Stuttgart, setting the tone for a season that began with a bang as the crowd celebrated each strike and the home side pressed forward with relentless intent.
Opening phase and Bayern’s dominance
Upamecano opened the scoring in the twenty‑first minute, nodding a corner from Joshua Kimmich onto the first post before finding the net – a header credited to Davot Upamecano that gave Bayern the lead and signalled a shift after a tentative start for the side led by Vincent Kompany.
Stuttgart entered the match intent on man‑to‑man marking, seeking to disrupt Bayern’s combination play. Their early pressure forced Bayern to work the ball wide, and a short‑range effort from Tiago Tomas in the thirteenth minute struck the cross‑bar before the home side settled.
Michael Olise doubled the advantage in the fifty‑third minute, receiving a precise pass from Kimmich and slotting home. Shortly after, Stuttgart’s Josha Vagnoman inadvertently turned a cross from Alphonso Davies into his own net, handing the visitors a third goal.
