Bayern breaks Bundesliga record with dominant win

Bayern Munich continued their scoring spree under new head coach Vincent Kompany, dispatching bottom-placed VfL Bochum with a commanding 5-0 victory on Sunday afternoon. With this result, Bayern set a historic record, making Kompany the first Bundesliga coach to celebrate 29 goals from his team in his first eight league matches.

Kompany’s record-breaking start

Taking charge of Bayern this summer, Kompany has crafted a relentless scoring machine, with Sunday’s five goals pushing Bayern’s season tally to a league-leading 29 goals in just eight matches. No manager in Bundesliga history has overseen such an explosive start, setting Kompany apart in the record books. While Kompany is unlikely to dwell too long on this match, the performance was a welcome recovery after a difficult Champions League loss to Barcelona just days earlier. The game against Bochum, effectively a controlled display from Bayern, gave the team a chance to flex their offensive muscles in the Vonovia Ruhrstadion.

Early goals set the tone

Michael Olise opened the scoring in the 16th minute with a brilliantly taken free-kick, putting Bayern in the driver’s seat. Just ten minutes later, Jamal Musiala extended the lead with a precise header to make it 2-0, giving Bayern full control early in the game. Despite featuring Dani de Wit in the starting lineup, Bochum looked outmatched throughout the match, with no signs of a comeback, especially with key forward Myron Boadu sidelined due to injury. Bayern’s dominance was evident, and they continued to pile on the pressure in the second half.

Bayern’s scoring power continues

In the second half, Bayern’s goal machine kicked into high gear. Harry Kane made it 3-0 in the 58th minute, followed by Leroy Sané in the 65th minute, who added the fourth goal with a sharp finish. Kingsley Coman capped off the scoring just six minutes later, putting the final tally at 5-0. With this win, Bayern matched their 2019/20 record of scoring at least three goals in four consecutive away matches. This streak underscores Bayern’s offensive firepower and determination to dominate every fixture, both home and away.

Bayern tops the Bundesliga table

With twenty points from eight games, Bayern Munich sits at the top of the Bundesliga table, level with RB Leipzig but leading due to a superior goal difference. Kompany’s squad looks unstoppable in league play, with their relentless scoring and solid defense making them early favorites for the title. As Bayern Munich continues to break records and set the standard for Bundesliga success, Kompany’s goal-scoring machine shows no signs of slowing down. This resounding victory against Bochum adds to the team’s momentum as they march forward in both domestic and European competitions.
