Olise scores twice as Bayern thrash Bodo/Glimt

Manchester United and Bayern Munich kicked off their UEFA Champions League campaigns with straightforward victories at home. The Red Devils played against FC Sabah, who were UCL debutants, and won 4-0. Bayern Munich, who were facing Bodo/Glimt, extended their lead to 5-0 after a ten-man period. Manchester United secured their win with three goals in the first half: Matheus Cunha, Bruno Fernandes, and Benjamin Sesko all found the back of the net.

Lisandro Martinez added the fourth goal in the second half, bringing the total to 4-0. Cunha scored first with a first-time finish from Patrick Dorgu's cross, Fernandes followed up with a pass from Youri Tielemans, and Sesko rounded the goalkeeper for the third goal just before halftime. Martinez completed the rout with a goal on the stroke of halftime.

Bayern Munich opened the scoring two minutes into the second half with Jamal Musiala, followed by a header by Harry Kane. Alphonse Davies added an excellent third goal, and Michael Olise chipped in a brace, sealing the five-star performance. It was a historic night for Como as they beat RB Leipzig 4-1 in their first-ever European competition match, making history as the most dominant debut scoreline by an Italian club in the Champions League era.
