Bayern Munich secured a convincing 5-1 victory over VfB Stuttgart, with midfielder Michael Olise earning the prestigious Man of the Match award. Olise notched the German giants' second goal during the second half, but his effort was narrowly ruled offside. The Frenchman had previously hit the post early in the first half with a free kick.
Olise also set up Bayern's fourth goal in the 63rd minute, finding Ismael Saibari who then put the game away with a clinical finish. Despite being the subject of numerous transfer rumors this summer, Olise has remained with Bayern and has already delivered strong performances. He scored and provided an assist in the team's opening Supercup match against Borussia Dortmund.
Olise received 65% of the Man of the Match votes, narrowly edging out goalkeeper Fabian Bredlow (13%) and midfielder Joshua Kimmich (12%). Josep Silva Upamecano, Pavlović, and Davies rounded out the voting.
