Key Moments and Player Performances
The hosts made an immediate impact as Lennart Karl struck in the 5th minute. After receiving a pass from Harry Kane in midfield, Karl dribbled past several defenders and blasted a superb shot from outside the penalty area to open the scoring. This made him the youngest player ever to score for Bayern Munich in the Champions League at 17 years and 242 days, surpassing Jamal Musiala’s previous record of 17 years and 363 days.
Within five minutes, Karl made his presence felt again, linking smartly with Aleksandar Pavlovic, whose close-range effort forced Brugge goalkeeper Nordin Jackers to push the ball onto the post. Moments later, Karl tested Jackers again, but the Belgian shot-stopper preserved the scoreline.
Bayern’s second came in the 14th minute after Luis Diaz found Konrad Laimer inside the area. Laimer’s precise low cross reached Harry Kane at the far post, and the Englishman tapped home into an empty net for the 401st goal of his career.
In the 34th minute, Jonathan Tah passed to Laimer on the left, and the Austrian surged forward, feeding Luis Diaz. Diaz’s forceful strike crashed under the crossbar, extending Bayern’s lead to 3-0.
Before the break, Diaz nearly added another, but Jackers once again intervened. The rebound fell to Kane, who narrowly struck the post. Early in the second half, Kane created another dangerous chance but saw his deflected shot go out for a corner after contacting Mechele’s leg.
The Bavarians capped their performance in the 79th minute. Laimer combined with Michael Olise on the left, receiving a return pass before blasting towards goal. A defender blocked the attempt, but the ball fell kindly to Nicolas Jackson, who tucked it away from close range.
There was also a special moment for seventeen-year-old Wisdom Mike, who made his Champions League debut after entering the match as a substitute for Luis Diaz.
