[Orando (USA) = Sports Chosun Reporter Kim Sung-won] It was a "shocking victory".
With Kim Min-jae, who is rehabilitating from injury, Germany's prestigious Bayern Munich scored as many as 10 goals in the first match of the FIFA Club World Cup in 2025. Bayern won 10-0 in the first Group C match against Oakland City (New Zealand) at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio on the 16th (Korea time).
Oakland City is considered the weakest along with Ulsan HD. There was no mercy from Bayern. Coach Vincent Kompany excluded Kim Min-jae from the entry as expected.
He mentioned Kim Min-jae while answering a question about Yonatantha ahead of the game against Oakland. Director Kompany said "Ta's leadership is outstanding. He communicated well and showed good capabilities in the Bundesliga. Thanks to the national team, it wasn't that hard to adapt him to our team. I'm sure others will help us as quickly as possible"Especially in his position, there are a few players who are not 100% conditioned yet. Kim Min-jae is like that, and Dayo Upamecano is like that.
Kim Min-jae played in various competitions during the 2024-2025 season despite suffering from Achilles tendon inflammation, sore throat, and back pain. He joined the Club World Cup, but it is not easy to play in the group stage.

Kompany has Harry Kane and Kingsley Coman at the forefront of the attack. Thomas Müller, Michael Olise, Aleksandar Pavlovic and Joshua Kimmich were placed in the second line. Sasha Boy, Ta, Josip Stanisic and Rafael Guerreiro built the defense. Manuel Neuer defended the goal.
There was a goal feast early on. Comang opened in the first six minutes. Boy scored his second goal in the 18th minute of the first half and booked a great victory. Olise joined the goal two minutes later, and Coman completed a multi-goal one minute later. Following Müller in the 45th minute of the first half, Olise also scored multiple goals in extra time. Bayern led 6-0 in the first half.
In the second half, replacement Jamal Musiala scored a hat trick, while Müller, who will leave Bayern after the Club World Cup, joined the multi-goal. It was unusual for Kane to remain silent.

The Club World Cup was held on a small scale every year, with continental champions and host countries participating. Like this year's World Cup, 32 teams participated every four years to determine the best club in the world.
Oakland fell victim to a crushing defeat for the first time. Bayern's double-digit scoring was the biggest margin win in Club World Cup history. In 2022, Al Hilal beat Al Jazeera in a 6-1 victory.
Oakland won the Oceania Champions League and secured a ticket to the Club World Cup. However, it was impossible for a 'Semi Pro' team of teachers, students and real estate agents to take on Bayern.
The number of shots was 32 to 3 and the number of effective shots was 18 to 1. The ball possession ratio was 69 to 31, which was a one-sided trend.
