Bayern Munich Smash Auckland City 10-0 in Club World Cup Rout
What an absolute demolition job we just witnessed at the FIFA Club World Cup! Bayern Munich took on New Zealand's Auckland City and delivered a footballing masterclass that ended with a staggering 10-0 scoreline. Yes, you heard that right—ten goals to nil! This Group C clash was less a contest and more a showcase of the massive gulf in quality between full-time European giants and a group of hardworking, part-time players from Oceania.
The game started off with ruthless efficiency from Bayern. Kingsley Coman got the party started in just the 6th minute, and then again in the 21st. Before Auckland City could catch their breath, Sacha Boey slotted one in at the 18-minute mark, followed by a quick double from Michael Olise in the 20th and 45+3 minutes. Just before the halftime whistle, Thomas Müller added another to make it six—yes, six—goals before the teams even went into the break.

The second half brought no mercy. Jamal Musiala lit up the field with a sensational hat-trick, scoring in the 67th, 73rd (from the penalty spot), and 84th minutes. And if that wasn’t enough, Müller returned to tap in his second of the match and Bayern’s tenth in the 89th minute, marking his 250th goal for the club. Absolute scenes!
Auckland City, to their credit, did not stop trying. They even managed a shot on target, which drew a warm round of applause from the crowd—a rare moment of encouragement in what was otherwise a one-sided affair. Their squad, made up of mostly part-time players, simply had no answer to Bayern’s relentless pace, precision, and power. You could see the difference in every phase of play. Bayern’s defensive line spent most of the game parked well inside the opposition half.
Some fans joked that Harry Kane might be annoyed not to get on the scoresheet during this goal fest, and others criticized the match as a mismatch, questioning whether such lopsided encounters belong in tournaments meant to showcase the best of global club football. Still, the game delivered entertainment—if you're into sheer domination and highlight reels.
This performance puts Bayern firmly at the top of Group C with a jaw-dropping +10 goal difference. Auckland City, on the other hand, sit at the bottom, licking their wounds and likely hoping their next fixture offers some relief. As for Bayern, if this is them in "cruise control," as some pundits suggested, then the rest of the competition should take notice. The German giants have fired an early and emphatic warning shot.
