Bayern Munich delivered a commanding performance against Bodø/Glimt, cruising to a 5-0 victory while completely controlling the match from start to finish. The statistics underline just how one-sided the contest was. Bayern Munich controlled 66% of possession and consistently pinned Bodø/Glimt deep, finishing with 25 total shots compared to just three for the Norwegian side. Eleven of those efforts were on target, while Bodø/Glimt failed to register a single shot on goal.
The attacking pressure was relentless. Bayern Munich recorded 37 touches in the opposition penalty area, compared to just six for Bodø/Glimt, while generating three big chances. The Bavarians also produced an impressive 2.49 expected goals (xG) compared to only 0.20 for their opponents.
Bayern Munich’s dominance was also evident in possession and passing. Vincent Kompany’s team completed 649 passes at a strong 93% accuracy, while Bodø/Glimt completed 284 passes at 80%.
The only blemish was Bayern Munich’s finishing, with two of their three big chances missed. Still, the five-goal margin reflected a performance in which Bayern Munich controlled virtually every important statistical category. After being held scoreless by Schalke 04, Bayern Munich responded emphatically, showing the attacking quality and ruthlessness that will be required throughout the Champions League campaign.
