📸 Bayern hit Auckland for six in 45 mins, Muller shines 🤯
It was already clear before the kick-off that there wouldn't be a match, but imagining a first half as one-sided as this was practically impossible.
Bayern Munich only needed 20 minutes to score four goals against a completely absent Auckland City, and in the final minutes of the first half, the eternal Thomas Muller scored a fifth goal, while Olise closed the set with a beautiful curling shot.
Kingsley Coman - probably in his last appearance for Bayern Munich - was the protagonist with a double in the first half. He scored the first goal of the tournament and also the goal that gave the Bavarians a temporary 4-0 lead.
In between, there were goals from Sacha Boey, who doubled the lead in the 18th minute with a great counter-attacking shot assisted by the inspired Coman, and two minutes later, the third goal from Michael Olise.
In the final minutes, there was also room for Thomas Muller: the German legend will say goodbye to the Club World Cup at the end of the tournament, but in the meantime, he continues to do what he does best and fixed the score at 5-0.
Is it over? Not yet, a completely apathetic Auckland City also conceded the sixth goal in the third minute of injury time. The author of the goal is Olise: his curling shot removed the cobwebs from the crossbar and knocked out the New Zealanders.
The statistics tell the story of a historic match: 6 goals scored in a single game was the record in 90 minutes for a Club World Cup match. A one-sided half: 0 shots, 0 corners, and 29% possession for Auckland City. Will the boys from Posa come out of the locker room?

PSG cruise over Atletico, Bayern thrash Auckland at Club World Cup
Paris Saint-Germain laid down an ominous marker on their march towards global domination at the FIFA Club World Cup on Sunday as Bayern Munich showed no mercy to Auckland's amateurs with a ruthless 10-0 walloping. The first full day of action at the inaugural edition of the 32-team club tournament saw newly crowned European champions PSG produce a scintillating 4-0 rout of Atletico Madrid after Bayern's double-digit drubbing of Auckland City. The New Zealand minnows are one of the Cinderella stories of the tournament, made up of amateur players who had to take unpaid leave to travel to the United States. But Bundesliga Goliaths Bayern were in no mood to indulge the Davids from the Oceania region, and duly ran riot in Cincinnati. Jamal Musiala scored a second-half hat-trick after coming off the bench while Kingsley Coman, Michael Olise and Thomas Mueller all netted twice. Sacha Boey scored the other goal in a Group C game that amounted to target practice for Bayern, who will face tougher tests ahead in the tournament against Boca Juniors and Benfica. "We have to remain modest but it was important to be able to say that we took the game seriously," said Bayern coach Vincent Kompany. "It was a good first match at the tournament, but of course challenges are going to grow and it's going to become more difficult." Auckland's interim coach Ivan Vicelich admitted that his team had run into the "reality of football against one of the world's top teams." "It is a dream for players coming from an amateur level to play in this environment," Vicelich said. "We knew it was going to be a very difficult game, playing against one of the top teams in the world, potentially one of the favourites for the Club World Cup, so we are just really proud of the players' efforts." - 'Hungry' PSG rout Atleti - While Bayern were left satisfied with a clinical opening, PSG delivered a statement win over Atleti in front of an 80,619 crowd at a sun-baked Pasadena Rose Bowl -- the venue for the 1994 World Cup final. The French champions shrugged off searing heat -- temperatures reached 31 degrees Celsius (87.8 Fahrenheit) shortly after the midday kick-off -- to produce the kind of adventurous, attacking display which became their calling card en route to their dazzling Champions League triumph earlier this month. Fabian Ruiz and Vitinha gave PSG a 2-0 lead by half-time before Senny Mayulu and Lee Kang-In sealed an impressive Group B win with late goals against an Atleti team who struggled to cope with the French side's multi-faceted attacking play. PSG are bidding to crown a superb season which saw them win four trophies at home and in Europe with a fifth title. On Sunday's evidence, few would bet against Luis Enrique's side from being crowned world champions. "We had the objective of making history this season, but this is a new chapter," Luis Enrique said in his post-match news conference. "It's a nice challenge for the players and the team, to want to keep winning. "The club is hungry, the fans are hungry, the players and the team are hungry, and that's a good feeling. We have the same objective as in other competitions, which is to go as far as possible and try to win it." Atletico manager Diego Simeone refused to cite the heat as a factor in his team's defeat. "I cannot blame it on the heat -- we both played in the same weather conditions," Simeone said. "They played much better than we did. They have amazing players and that's why they've just won everything." In other games on Sunday, Brazil's Palmeiras drew 0-0 with Portuguese giants Porto in Group A at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Another Brazilian side, Botafogo, face the Seattle Sounders in Group B later. rcw/sev
