FC Bayern München 5-0 Bodø / Glimt: result and report

Report

FC Bayern München won 5-0, though the scoreline makes it look more one-sided from the start than it was. The first half was goalless. All five goals came after the break.

Jamal Musiala broke through on 47 minutes from Harry Kane's pass. Kane then made it 2-0 on 61 minutes after Michael Olise set him up. Alphonso Davies added a third on 77 minutes. Olise scored the fourth on 83 minutes, with Lennart Karl providing the assist. Bodø / Glimt had Odin Luras Bjortuft sent off on 87 minutes, but the game was already settled by then. Olise completed the scoring two minutes into stoppage time.

The scoreline flatters FC Bayern München's finishing, but not their superiority. They produced 2.43 xG, so five goals was well above what their chances would usually return. Their dominance, though, was beyond doubt. They had 16 shots to three and 12 on target to none, and they also hit the woodwork.

Bodø / Glimt did not test the goalkeeper once. They created no big chances and only one key pass, while FC Bayern München made 19. That gap explains the result more clearly than the margin does, because one side kept arriving in good positions and the other barely left its own half.

Michael Olise's night

Olise was the standout player despite not scoring until the closing stages. He set up Kane's goal and then scored twice late on. He finished with two goals and an assist, and a rating of 10.

They had 66% possession and pressure over the full match, but they still needed until after half-time to turn it into a lead. Bodø / Glimt made six saves across the game, so they did hold out for a period.
