It was truly a display of effortless mastery. Kim Min-jae (30), who has emerged as a regular starter for Bayern Munich this season, was substituted into the match in the second half and contributed to the team's scoreless victory.
On the 19th at 3:30 a.m. Korean time, Bayern Munich defeated Union Berlin 7-0 in their Bundesliga Round 4 home match held at Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany. With Michael Olise scoring a hat-trick and Harry Kane netting his 100th career goal in the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich secured three points.
With this decisive victory, Bayern Munich, who remained unbeaten in their first four matches (three wins and one draw), moved into sole possession of the league's top spot ahead of the weekend's remaining fixtures. Meanwhile, Union Berlin, who conceded a staggering 17 goals in their opening four matches and managed only one draw and three losses, remained in 16th place in the league standings.
Today's match featured a Korean derby. Jung Woo-young started as a winger for Union Berlin, facing his former club Bayern Munich, while Kim Min-jae began on the bench for Bayern Munich and entered the field immediately at the start of the second half, setting up a direct matchup between the two players. Due to Bayern Munich's overwhelming offensive pressure, Jung Woo-young focused more on defensive duties than attacking plays.
Kim Min-jae, who played the full 45 minutes of the second half, displayed remarkable composure. According to football statistics specialist 'FootMob', Kim Min-jae recorded an 88% pass completion rate (30/34), one successful dribble (100%), one successful long pass (100%), seven passes in the attacking zone, one interception, and two successful ball duels, delivering a flawless performance on both offense and defense. Notably, his heat map showed concentrated activity along the half-line and in the opponent's territory, allowing him to thoroughly block Union Berlin's counterattack attempts as Bayern Munich dominated the match flow.
Bayern Munich's offensive power exploded from the first half. In the 18th minute, Jamal Musiala received a cutback from Alphonso Davies and scored the opening goal with a right-footed shot into the corner of the net. In the 38th minute, Harry Kane cleanly converted a penalty kick awarded to Olise, achieving his 100th career Bundesliga goal in just 98 matches and setting a new record for the fastest player to reach 100 goals in Bundesliga history. Shortly after, in the 43rd minute, Olise received a pass from Musiala and curled a non-stop shot from the edge of the box to make it 3-0.
Immediately after the second half began, Bayern Munich substituted Kim Min-jae for Dayot Upamecano, who had received a yellow card, and continued their scoring spree. In the 9th minute of the second half, Kane headed home Olise's precise chip cross from a high position to extend the lead to 4-0. In the 25th minute, substitute Ismaila Sarr received a pass from Davies, beat a defender, and scored his debut goal for Bayern Munich with a powerful left-footed shot.
Olise's solo performance then capped off the match. In the 28th minute of the second half, Olise received a lobbed pass from Tom Bischoff, outmaneuvered the goalkeeper, and slid the ball into an empty net. Just three minutes later, in the 31st minute, he once again received a pass from Bischoff and completed his hat-trick with a spectacular left-footed curling shot from mid-range that found the top-right corner of the goal.
