The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup has finally kicked off with many called a mismatch between Bayern Munich and Semi professional club Auckland City
The first set of games which held on Sunday, June 16th 2025, saw Auckland bowing down to a 10-0 defeat from Bayern
The game was a procession from the moment Kingsley Coman opened the scoring in the sixth minute
when the Frenchman flicked a header past the helpless Conor Tracey in the Auckland net.
So started a dominant first half, where the German champions showed no mercy against their overmatched opponents.

Jamal Musiala returned from his injury layoff to make it seven, with a beautifully curled finish in the 67th minute.
The 22-year-old further added another just minutes later,
converting from the spot after he was tripped in the Auckland box.
Perhaps the loudest cry from the Queen City crowd went up when Angus Kilkolly broke towards the Bayern net,
unleashing a tame effort that Manuel Neuer dealt with easily.
It was Auckland’s only attempt on goal. Shortly after, Musiala completed a 23-minute hat trick
when he was gifted a goal from an errant Auckland back pass.
Just as time was running out, Muller bundled home his second of the game, and 250th goal for Bayern, to make the final score 10-0.
Again the question remains, should the very over qualified Bayern Munich even had to play the under qualified Auckland City?
A 10-0 defeat is a huge one guys! Well the deed is done.
Congratulations to the Munichers as they move further in the game
