Bayern Munich routs Auckland 10-0 in Club World Cup as fans unfurl banner to
'Smash FIFA!'

CINCINNATI (AP) --- 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 Mller, Kingsley Coman and Michael Olise scored two goals each for the
Bundesliga champions, who went ahead on Coman's goal six minutes in. Bayern had
a 17-1 advantage in shots on target.
Musiala, a 22-year-old midfielder, replaced Harry Kane in the 61st minute,
making his first appearance since April 4 after recovering from a hamstring
injury. He scored in the 67th minute, converted a penalty kick in the 73rd and
scored again in the 84th.
Before a crowd of 21,152 at TQL Stadium, fans displayed a red-and-white banner
referring the 2015 raid by U.S. law enforcement at a Zurich hotel that led to
the arrest of many soccer officials: "10 Years Baur Au Lac --- World Football
Is More Poorly Governed than Before! Smash FIFA!"
Defender Jonathan Tah started in his Bayern debut following his transfer from
Bayer Leverkusen. Defender Dayot Upamecano entered in the 61st in his first
appearance since March 23 for Germany after recovering from a knee injury.
Key moment Bayern built a 4-0 lead by midway through the first half when Sacha Boey scored in the 18th, Olise in the 20th and Coman in the 21st. Mller, the 35-year-old who plans to leave Bayern this summer, added a goal in the 45th minute and Olise made it 6-0 in the third minute of first-half stoppage time. Takeaways Bayern figures to be tested more against Boca Juniors on Friday and Benfica on June 24. Carrying a huge goal deficit, Auckland faces Benfica on Friday and closes Group C against Boca Juniors. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer |
