Bayern Munich showed their European pedigree once again as they demolished Pafos 5-1 at the Alphamega Stadium in the UEFA Champions League (UCL). The German champions, who have been flawless in the competition this season, put on a show of attacking brilliance, extending their unbeaten run to 16 UCL matches against a side they were facing for the first time.
Kenyan football fans, many of whom closely follow the Champions League, would have admired the clinical nature of Bayern’s attack, which featured household names like Harry Kane, Michael Olise, Luis DÃaz, and Joshua Kimmich.
First-Half Fireworks
Bayern set the tempo early. Luis DÃaz almost gave them the lead, but Pafos goalkeeper Neofytos Michail made a fine save. Harry Kane then struck the post with an audacious overhead kick before finally breaking the deadlock. The England captain finished calmly after a perfectly timed pass from Olise.
The floodgates opened soon after:
- Raphaël Guerreiro doubled the lead with a composed chip.
- Nicolas Jackson marked his first Bayern goal with a tidy finish into the bottom corner.
- Kane returned with a solo run and finish to make it 4-0 before halftime.
Although Mislav Oršić pulled one back with a thunderous long-range strike after Kim Min-jae’s mistake, Bayern had already made their dominance clear.
Second-Half Control
Pafos came out brighter after the break, but Bayern quickly restored control. Michail denied Olise and Pavlović with fine saves, only for Olise to finally score with a powerful rebound finish.
The Bavarians could have easily added more as Gnabry and Jackson both struck the woodwork late on, but settled for an emphatic 5-1 win.
What This Means for Bayern and Pafos
- Bayern Munich: Continue their perfect start, looking every bit the Champions League favorites. Their consistency in scoring in both halves underlines just how dangerous they are across 90 minutes.
- Pafos: After holding Olympiacos to a draw on Matchday 1, reality hit hard. The Cypriot side now knows the brutal standards of Europe’s elite competition.
For Kenyan fans, who have a huge fan base for Bayern, this performance reinforces the Bundesliga giants as a must-watch team this season.
