Bayern Munich score TEN! Bavarian giants make Club World Cup statement as Harry Kane and Co. demolish Auckland City in stunning display with Jamal Musiala hat-trick

FIFA Club World Cup

Benfica

Bayern Munich

Auckland City FC

Boca Juniors

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.Perhaps the loudest cry from the Queen 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.

Michael Olise beguiled his opposite number from the off, weaving inside and out in a first-half display that demonstrated the immense gulf between the two sides. Olise's second and Bayern's sixth goal, a curling strike from 25 yards out was the best of the day, while his assist for Muller's effort was perfectly weighted. Mercifully, for the Kiwis, Vincent Kompany subbed the brilliant winger at half time.

THE MVP

Harry Kane: To single out one of Auckland City's semi-pro players as a 'loser' seems harsh. After all, just sharing a pitch with players of this calibre is a dream come true. Instead, let's mention that in a game where Bayern scored ten goals, Kane did not log a single shot on target in an hour on the pitch.

THE BIG LOSER

Bayern will face much stiffer competition when they continue their Club World Cup campaign with a dream matchup against Boca Juniors. For all the many, many problems with this tournament, a competitive game between the most famous clubs from two of the world's best footballing cultures is a special treat.
