In one of the most one-sided matches of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, Bayern Munich crushed Auckland City 10–0 in Cincinnati, USA. This incredible scoreline showed the big gap between one of Europe’s strongest teams and the champions of Oceania. From start to finish, Bayern Munich controlled the game and showed their power, skill, and determination.
A Fast Start That Never Slowed Down
Right from the beginning, Bayern played like champions. In the 19th minute, Kingsley Coman scored the opening goal with a calm finish. Just minutes later, new signings Sacha Boey and Michael Olise added their names to the scoresheet. Bayern moved the ball quickly and broke down Auckland’s defense with ease. Veteran striker Thomas Müller also got on the scoreboard before halftime.
By the time the referee blew the whistle for halftime, Bayern were already leading 6–0, and the match seemed almost over.
Musiala’s Stunning Hat-Trick in 17 Minutes
The second half brought more action, especially with the arrival of Jamal Musiala. The young star had just returned from injury but looked as sharp as ever. He scored three goals in just 17 minutes, including one from the penalty spot. His movement, dribbling, and finishing were too much for Auckland to handle.
Müller scored another late goal, and Bayern reached double digits when the final whistle blew. It was a special day for the German giants and one that fans will remember for a long time.
Coach Vincent Kompany Shares His Thoughts
After the match, Bayern’s coach Vincent Kompany praised his team’s performance. He said:
“We respected our opponent and played with full focus. I’m proud of how the players kept pushing, even when the score was high. This is the kind of mindset we need to win tournaments.”
He also spoke about Musiala’s performance, saying:
“To come back from injury and play like that shows how talented Jamal is. He’s a key part of our future.”
Müller and Musiala Shine Bright
Thomas Müller, one of Bayern’s most experienced players, led the team with energy and skill. He not only scored two goals but also helped guide the younger players on the pitch. Musiala, with his hat-trick, made headlines and showed why he’s seen as one of the best young players in the world.
Musiala said after the game:
“I just wanted to help the team and enjoy my football. It felt great to be back and score goals for Bayern. This win gives us a lot of confidence for the next match.”
Auckland City Struggles but Shows Heart
Even though they lost badly, Auckland City played with heart and pride. Most of their players are not full-time professionals. Some work regular jobs during the day and train in the evening.

“We knew it would be tough. Bayern is one of the best teams in the world. But I’m proud of how our players kept going and showed courage.”
He added that this match would be a big learning experience for his team.
