Bayer Munich kicked off their Club World Cup campaign with a dominant 10-0 win over semi-professional minnows Auckland City in Cincinnati.
The game was a procession from the moment Kingsley Coman opened the scoring in the sixth minute when the Frenchman flicked a header past the helpless Conor Tracey in the Auckland net.
So started a dominant first half, where the German champions showed no mercy against their overmatched opponents. Another effort from Coman, plus goals from Thomas Muller, Sasha Boey and a Michael Olise brace gave Bayern a 6-0 lead at halftime.
Auckland managed to frustrate Bayern for the first twenty minutes of the second half, as Vincent Kompany rang the changes. 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.
