Bayern Munich kicked off their Bundesliga title defense with a resounding 5-1 win over Stuttgart in their opening match. Dayot Upamecano gave the champions the lead with a well-timed header from Joshua Kimmich's corner. Stuttgart's goalkeeper, Fabian Bredlow, managed to thwart Bayern's efforts time and again, only for Josha Vagnoman to level the score with a powerful strike. Michael Olise then restored Bayern's advantage by capitalizing on Kimmich's through ball, slotting the ball home.
Stuttgart were unfortunate to see their goal disallowed when Vagnoman's effort, after a cross from Alphonso Davies, seemed to have crossed the line, only for VAR to rule it out for offside. Bayern's fourth goal came courtesy of Aleksandar Pavlovic, who seized upon unselfish play from substitute Ismael Saibari. Saibari, a £43m signing from PSV Eindhoven, provided the assist for Luis Diaz's fifth goal, which came in stoppage time.
Bayern's performance began their season with two victories, following their triumph over Borussia Dortmund 2-1 in the German Super Cup the previous week.
