Commentary
Bayern Munich produce a scintillating second-half display to ruthlessly put Bodo/Glimt to the sword 5-0 at the Allianz Arena. It's a statement of intent from the six-time European Cup/Champions League winners on the opening matchday of this season's competition. Michael Olise played a starring role with two goals and an assist, while Jamal Musiala, Harry Kane and Alphonso Davies also got on the scoresheet. Bayern, who had an xG of 2.49 to their opponents' measly 0.2, endured a frustrating first half, with Nikita Haikin making some smart saves to keep them at bay. However, the Bodo/Glimt goalkeeper was forced off at half-time through injury, and the floodgates opened within two minutes of the resumption. Musiala broke the deadlock when he fired home a volley from a tight angle, while Kane doubled the lead when he nodded in Olise's free-kick just after the hour mark. Davies made it 3-0 on 77 minutes with a 20-yard thunderbolt, though Olise arguably went one better when he curled in from 25 yards out six minutes later. The visitors were reduced to 10 men soon after. Odin Bjortuft was given his marching orders for a professional foul after clipping the heels of Olise. The latter had the final word in stoppage time, pouncing on sloppy possession before whipping a shot past a helpless Julian Faye Lund in the Bodo/Glimt goal. Bayern are up and running, and will look to maintain their momentum when they travel to Elversberg in the Bundesliga on Sunday. Bodo/Glimt will want to put this behind them as quickly as possible. Kjetil Knudsen's side have the opportunity to do that the following day, when they host Sandefjord in the Eliteserien. Thanks for joining us today. Until next time, goodbye!
FULL-TIME: BAYERN MUNICH 5-0 BODO/GLIMT

OLISE GETS HIS SECOND!!! 5-0 BAYERN! They're finishing with a flourish. Bodo/Glimt are sloppy in possession, and Olise is onto the loose ball in a flash. He glides towards the area and curls the ball towards goal with very little backlift. The despairing Lund can only help the shot into the roof of the net.
Good blocks! Bayern are looking for a fifth goal that would put the icing on the cake. Kane and Bischof shoot for goal on the edge of the area, but both their attempts are blocked by well-placed defenders. Stanisic tries his luck from distance soon after, but he's wide of the mark.
Bayern's attacking quality speaks for itself, but the other end of the field is also worth a mention today. Indeed, Neuer is appearing in his 18th Champions League season, a new record for any German player. He's close to marking the occasion with a clean sheet.

RED CARD FOR BJORTUFT! Bodo/Glimt down to 10 men! A difficult day for the visitors gets even worse. Olise looks to get on the end of a throughball, but has his heels clipped just outside the box. Bjortuft is the guilty party, and the referee shows him a red card.
