Bayern Munich were in no mood to give in to Auckland City in their opening match of the expanded Club World Cup in Cincinatti.

Bayern Múnich crushed New Zealand's Auckland City with a historic 10-0 result at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

German champions Bayern Munich were in no mood to give in to Auckland City in their opening match of the expanded Club World Cup, in Group C. Belgian Vincent Kompany's team crushed the New Zealand team with a fantastic 10-0. A score that leaves no room for anyone to think that the semi-professional Auckland team could have done better.

In fact, it must be emphasized that this is a team that is mainly composed of amateur and semi-professional footballers. A fact that was clearly visible on the pitch, as their goalkeeper had also predicted with his statements before the match.

Connor Tracy, who works as a loader in a pharmaceutical warehouse off the pitch, sees football more as a hobby than a profession. He explained that he had to combine his regular leave with unpaid leave to take part in the tournament. “I’m going to struggle a bit with the rent, the bills and all that,” he said, “but for the chance to play against teams like Bayern, Benfica and Boca Juniors, it’s 100% worth it.”

Musiala’s return

A devastating Bayern Munich did not leave their opponent in peace. The 23-year-old international midfielder, Jamal Musiala (missed the last two months due to injury) came on in the second half and was amazing. He scored 3 goals (67', 73' penalty, 84'), two of which were scored by Coman 6', 21', Oliseh 20', 45+3', Thomas Müller 45', 89', and one by Boe 18'.

The past and Anorthosis

However, Bayern did not achieve 10-0 for the first time in an international game. They had repeated it on September 28, 1983 in another official game of the first round of the UEFA Cup, against Anorthosis.

The first game against the Cypriot team based in Larnaca ended with a "poor" victory for Bayern with 1-0. But in the second game in Munich, left winger Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and his team threw a goal party. When Klaus Augenthaler scored his third goal of the night in the 80th minute, the score on the electronic scoreboard of Munich's Olympic Stadium reached double digits and Anorthosis was defeated 10-0! The goals for history were scored by: Karl-Heinz Rummenigge 8', 30', Augenthaler 17', 41', 80', Michael Rummenigge 19', Dremler 26', Lerby 34', Del Haye 75', and Kraus 79'.
