Bayern slams 10 past Auckland City in CWC rout
Bayern Munich brutally routed part-time Auckland City 10-0 on Sunday, making Club World Cup history in the process.
The second game of the newly-expanded tournament proved a walkover in Cincinnati, where Auckland's semi-pro players failed to lay a glove on the Bundesliga giant in the Group C opener, with Jamal Musiala scoring a hat-trick after coming on as a second-half substitute.
On his Bayern debut, Jonathan Tah teed up their sixth-minute opener, heading a deep corner back into the six-yard box, and Kingsley Coman deftly nodded home.
Three goals in as many minutes dispelled any chance of an upset. Coman turned provider with a neat header back to Sacha Boey, who hammered in.
Michael Olise then tucked in after Harry Kane failed to connect with Thomas Muller's centre, before Coman doubled his tally with a drilled finish into the bottom-left corner.
Olise crossed in for Muller to volley in, before the France international curled in a sensational strike on the stroke of half-time.
Kane made way without getting on the scoresheet with an hour played, and after missing a great chance with a close-range header, his replacement Musiala helped himself to a hat-trick.
Having lashed in with a brilliant finish from the edge of the area, Musiala coolly slotted a penalty that he won down the middle, and the youngster rounded off the scoring when he pounced on Conor Tracey's sloppy pass and duly fired home.
There was still time for Vincent Kompany's team to reach double figures, as Muller – who will leave the club after the tournament – turned in his 250th Bayern goal.
