Bayern Munich 7-0 1. FC Union Berlin

The Bundesliga clash at the Allianz Arena in München saw Bayern Munich host 1. FC Union Berlin on 18 September 2026. A packed Bavarian stadium set the stage for what turned into a one-sided encounter, with the home side displaying relentless attacking intent from the first whistle.

How it unfolded

The first breakthrough arrived in the 18th minute when Jamal Musiala unleashed a right-footed strike from outside the box, finding the bottom right corner after an incisive pass from Alphonso Davies. The goal gave Bayern an early lead and signalled the pace they intended to maintain.

Just before the half-hour mark, Union Berlin’s Felix Uduokhai was shown a yellow card in the 38th minute, a routine booking that did little to curb Bayern’s momentum. One minute later, Bayern extended their advantage when Harry Kane calmly converted a penalty, slotting the ball to the bottom left corner with his right foot.

The referee cautioned Union Berlin again in the 42nd minute, sending Rani Khedira off the field for a bad foul. The dismissal did not deter Bayern, who doubled their lead three minutes later. Michael Olise, receiving a pass from Musiala, struck a left-footed shot from outside the area into the top right corner at the 43rd minute.

Just after the break, Bayern’s Dayot Upamecano received a yellow card in stoppage time of the first half (45'+2"), but the defensive caution did not affect the attacking flow. The second half opened with Harry Kane adding his second goal in the 54th minute, this time a header from the centre of the box, assisted by Michael Olise.

Bayern’s on-target display continued in the 70th minute when Ismael Saibari finished a left-footed effort from the centre of the box, again set up by Alphonso Davies. The floodgates opened further in quick succession: Tom Bischof supplied a through ball to Michael Olise, who fired a right-footed shot from the centre of the box into the high centre of the goal at the 73rd minute. Three minutes later, Olise completed his hat-trick, this time with a left-footed strike from outside the area into the bottom right corner, once more assisted by Bischof.

Union Berlin’s frustration was evident as Livan Burcu was booked for a bad foul in the 78th minute, the fourth yellow card of the match. The scoreline remained untouched until the final whistle, sealing a comprehensive 7-0 victory for Bayern Munich.
