Bayern Munich maul Wolfsburg

Bayern Munich delivered a commanding performance, dismantling VfL Wolfsburg 8–1 in a dominant Bundesliga display that underscored their title credentials. The hosts opened the year in irresistible fashion, extending their lead at the top of the table and showcasing the depth and quality in Vincent Kompany’s squad.

First Half:

The scoring began early when a Wolfsburg defender inadvertently turned a cross into his own net on five minutes, giving Bayern the lead. Wolfsburg responded with resolve, drawing level through Dženan Pejčinović’s composed finish on 13 minutes after a well-crafted attack. However, Bayern regained control before halftime when Luis Díaz headed home from Michael Olise’s incisive delivery, setting the tone for what was to be a remarkable second half. 

Second Half Onslaught:

The second period belonged entirely to Bayern. Olise struck first with a brilliant solo effort on 50 minutes, showcasing his dribbling and finishing ability. Just moments later Wolfsburg’s Moritz Jenz turned another Bayern delivery into his own net, making it 4–1. Substitute Raphaël Guerreiro extended the lead with a composed side-footed finish, set up by Harry Kane, who then curled in a spectacular goal from outside the box. Olise added his second with a calm finish in the 76th minute, and Leon Goretzka capped the scoring late on.

Michael Olise was the Man of the Match  with two goals and multiple decisive contributions, instrumental in Bayern’s attacking play. 

Harry Kane: Scored and assisted; his goal took him past 20 Bundesliga strikes this season, highlighting his lethal finishing.

Luis Díaz: Continued his excellent season with a goal and assist, proving a constant threat from wide positions.

Bayern displayed relentless intensity off the ball and ruthless efficiency in transition. Wolfsburg, struggling defensively throughout the campaign, were unable to cope with the speed and precision of Bayern’s forward play, particularly after the interval. Bayern’s control of possession and ability to create high-quality chances reflected both tactical discipline and individual quality. 

The emphatic victory extended Bayern’s advantage at the top of the Bundesliga to 11 points, reinforcing their status as overwhelming favorites for the title. Wolfsburg remain mired in a difficult season and will need to regroup quickly to climb away from the lower reaches of the table.
