Bayern Munich's "iron wall" Kim Min-jae (30) left a deep impression on Jeju fans.

Munich led 2-1 at halftime in the friendly match against Jeju held at the Jeju World Cup Stadium on the afternoon of the 4th as part of the 'Audi Football Summit 2026'.

Under manager Vincent Kompany, Munich deployed a 4-2-3-2 formation. Leading the front line was Bastian Oczipka, with Felipe Chaves, Dela Robles, and Bara Ndiaye spearheading attacks from the second line. The midfield was formed by Tom Bischof and Joao Palhinha. The back four consisted of Hiroki Ito, Kim Min-jae, Filip Pavic, and Vincent Manuwa. Jonas Urbig wore the goalkeeper gloves.

Munich started with a large number of promising young players in the lineup, while key starters such as Joshua Kimmich, Manuel Neuer, Luis Diaz, and Jonathan Tah began on the bench. Star strikers Harry Kane and Michael Olise did not join the Korea tour due to rest regulations following their participation in the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America.

Jeju, led by coach Sergio Costa, countered with a 4-5-1 formation. Mateus Aias started as the lone striker, with Chinari, Lee Chang-min, Jung Woon, Jang Min-gyu, and Choi Byung-wook positioned in the second line. The back four comprised Park Min-jae, Kwon Ki-min, Kim Jae-woo, and Jo In-jung. Heo Ja-ung guarded the goal.

Munich dominated early in the match and scored the opening goal just 11 minutes into the first half. Chaves struck a ground ball from the left side of the penalty box; after the shot was initially saved by the Munich goalkeeper, he took a second shot that found the back of the net.

Jeju did not remain passive. Just four minutes later, Aias equalized with a stunning goal. From the left side of the box, Aias skillfully used the 'RAINBOW flick' to slip past two defenders before passing centrally. Lee Chang-min immediately shot and scored.

Although Munich controlled the attack afterward, they appeared flustered by Jeju's sharp counterattacks. A heart-stopping moment occurred in the 26th minute of the first half. Ito headed a long ball toward his own goalkeeper, but it passed over the unguarded goal and quickly rolled into the net. Fortunately for Munich, the ball narrowly missed going in on the right side of the goal.

Kim Min-jae was substituted early. In the 37th minute of the first half, Kim Min-jae was replaced by Team Vinder, prompting the crowd to applaud. Following the North American World Cup, Kim Min-jae, who was not in peak physical condition, sat on the bench to catch his breath.

Munich extended their lead again in the 41st minute of the first half. Oczipka curled a perfect right-footed shot from the edge of the box, shaking the back of the net.

The first half ended with Munich leading 2-1.
