The Bavarians cruised to a 3-0 victory over Austrian side Tyrol in a friendly at the Sporthofspark Unterhaching in Unterhaching, Germany, on Thursday (Sept. 14).
Center back Kim Min-Jae was rested. Aside from Harry Kane, Manuel Neuer, Jermain Defoe, and Xherdan Shaqiri did not play.
Kane opened the scoring three minutes into the game. He only played the first half.
Joao Palinha’s goal in the third minute of the second half and Gabriel Vidovic’s 35th-minute winner in the second half gave Munich a three-goal lead.
With all preseason matches completed, Munich will kick off the 2024-2025 season on Sept. 17 at 3:45 p.m. against SSV Ulm 1846 in the first round of the German Football Association Cup (DFB Pokal).
The Bundesliga kicks off on Sept. 24.
Vincent Kompany’s Munich will open the league against Wolfsburg at 10:30 p.m. on Aug. 25.
The Bavarians made a change to their squad just before the match against Tyrol. Last season, Munich central defender Mathias der Licht and flanker Nusair Mazrouei, 26, 바카라사이트 joined Manchester United from Bayern Munich.
United officially announced the signings of De Ligt and Mazrawi on its official website in the early hours of Thursday morning.
Der Licht has signed a contract with United until June 2029 with an option for a one-year extension. Mazrawi’s contract runs until June 2028. It also includes an option for a one-year extension.
This is good news for Kim Min-Jae, who was absent from the match. After falling out of favor with Thomas Tuchel’s side last season, losing out to Eric Dier and Der Licht after the midway point of the season, Kim is in a good mood under new coach Vincent Kompany.
After finishing ‘irrelevant’ last season, Kim has his sights set on ‘winning’.
After 11 consecutive seasons at the top of the Bundesliga since 2012-2013, Munich lost the title to Leverkusen in 2023-2024. They finished third in the league, and their pride was shattered.
The Bavarians are determined to regain the title. It”ll be interesting to see if Kim Min-jae will be able to take over the starting role as expected.
