Cincinnati: Bayern Munich romped to a 10-0 victory over Auckland City in its Club World Cup opener on Sunday as Jamal Musiala had a hat-trick in a 17-minute span of the second half in front of a crowd that unfurled a banner urging to “Smash FIFA!” while accusing the governing body of mismanagement.
Thomas Müller, Kingsley Coman, and Michael Olise scored two goals each for the Bundesliga champion, which went ahead on Coman’s goal six minutes in. Bayern had a 17-1 advantage in shots on target.
Botafogo began their campaign with a 2-1 victory against Seattle Sounders FC at Lumen Field.
First-half goals from Jair Cunha and Igor Jesus left the Brazilians level with Paris Saint-Germain but in second place in Group B due to an inferior goal difference.
Meanwhile, SE Palmeiras and FC Porto played out a pulsating 0-0 draw in the third game of Matchday 2.
Despite the scoreline, the game was characterised by attacking football, with both sides creating numerous goal-scoring opportunities. The Brazilian side finished the match with 17 shots but just five on target. Agencies
