Bayern Munich defeat Jeju SK FC in preseason match in S. Korea

Bayern Munich secured a 2-1 victory over Jeju SK FC in a preseason match at Jeju World Cup Stadium on August 4, despite being without several key players from the recent FIFA World Cup. South Korean defender Kim Min-jae, serving as the team's captain, led the contest in front of 22,519 fans who braved the hot weather to witness the German club's most decorated side.

The visitors took an early lead in the 11th minute through Felipe Chavez, who neatly converted a chance following chaotic play in the box. Jeju leveled four minutes later with a stunning solo effort by captain Lee Chang-min, who turned in a pass from Matheus Aias. Bayern nearly conceded another goal in the 26th minute when defender Hiroki Ito headed the ball back into his own net, but goalkeeper Jonas Urbig made a crucial save.

Jeju managed to get back on level terms in the 40th minute when forward Matheus Aias sent a pass to Lee, who expertly slotted the ball past the out-of-position goalkeeper. Brazilian teenager Bastian Assomo then gave Bayern the lead in the 52nd minute, finding the bottom left corner with a precise shot from outside the box. Jeju threatened to equalize again in the second half, with Choi Byung-wook testing goalkeeper Jonas Urbig early in the half.

Bayern responded with mass substitutions in the 66th minute, bringing on experienced players Jonathan Tah, Joshua Kimmich, and Aleksandar Pavlovic. Three more regulars - Luis Diaz, Konrad Laimer, and Josip Stanisic - joined the fray in the 78th minute, but the match had already become chaotic with so many changes. Despite a late header from Stanisic that hit the crossbar, Bayern held on to win the match, with Joo Seung-min pulling off a crucial save in the 89th minute to keep Jeju from scoring.
