Bayern Munich 5-1 Stuttgart: Olise & Pavlovic shine in dominant Bundesliga opener (full match highlights)

On August 28, 2026, at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Bayern Munich kicked off their Bundesliga campaign in spectacular fashion with a dominant 5-1 victory over Stuttgart. A crowd of 75,024 packed the stadium as Vincent Kompany's side showcased their attacking firepower from the very first whistle. The breakthrough came in the 21st minute when Dayot Upamecano rose highest to meet Joshua Kimmich's corner and powered a header into the bottom corner. Stuttgart stunned the home crowd in the 52nd minute when Josha Vagnoman struck from distance, his deflected effort looping past the goalkeeper to level the scores. However, Bayern's response was swift and emphatic. Just three minutes later, Michael Olise restored the lead after a clever pass from Kimmich, the French winger cutting inside and curling a precise shot into the bottom corner. Olise completed his brace in the 58th minute, finishing from close range after a low cross from the left flank. Stuttgart's frustration boiled over, with Jeff Chabot and Finn Jeltsch receiving yellow cards, while VAR had a brief look at a potential penalty involving Olise in the 63rd minute but decided against awarding a spot-kick. Aleksandar Pavlović added the fourth in the 82nd minute, finishing from close range after Ismail Saibari's clever cut-back, and Luis Díaz completed the rout in stoppage time, the Colombian calmly slotting home from Saibari's assist to make it 5-1 in the 90+2nd minute. Bayern's dominance was reflected in the statistics: 68% possession, 21 shots to Stuttgart's 6, and an 87% pass completion rate against 69%. The result sent a clear message to the rest of the Bundesliga that Bayern remain the team to beat this season.
