Bayer Munich launched their Club World Cup campaign with a commanding 10-0 victory against semi-professional underdogs Auckland City in Cincinnati.
The moment Kingsley Coman scored in the sixth minute, flicking a header past the helpless Conor Tracey in the Auckland net, the game turned into a procession
Jamal Musiala returned from his injury layoff to make it seven, with a beautifully curled finish in the 67th minute.
The 22-year-old added another just minutes later, converting from the spot after he was tripped in the Auckland box.
Perhaps the loudest cry from the Twin City crowd went up when Angus Kilkolly broke towards the Bayern net, unleashing a tame effort that Manuel Neuer dealt with easily.
It was Auckland’s only attempt on goal. Shortly after, Musiala completed a 23-minute hat trick when he was gifted a goal from an errant Auckland back pass.
Just as time was running out, Muller bundled home his second of the game, and 250th goal for Bayern, to make the final score 10-0.
