"Bayern got the perfect start to the game as they have done on several occasions. They had put pressure on the visitors from the word go by pinning them in their half. The first breakthrough for Die Roten came in the fifth minute through Lennart Karl. Jonathan Tah found Karl in Brugge's half with a simple pass. The youngster decided to breeze past the opposition by coming inside. He eventually deposited the ball in the net from the edge of the box."
"Die Roten almost doubled their lead a few minutes later as Aleksandar Pavlovic's terrific effort from outside the box was parried away by Nordin Jackers. The hosts eventually got the second goal in the 14th minute through a well-knit move. Konrad Laimer and Luis Diaz combined well on the left flank before the Austrian put it on the plate for Harry Kane at the far post with a drilled square pass."
"Karl came close to getting his second goal of the game in the 31st minute when Dayot Upamecano found him on the right flank. The youngster unleashed a powerful shot after cutting inside, but his attempt missed the target by a whisker. Three minutes later, Luis Diaz managed to put the game beyond the Belgian side. Laimer linked up well with the Colombian winger on the left."
Bayern Munich extended their perfect Champions League start with a 4-0 home win over Club Brugge.

Aleksandar Pavlovic struck from distance but was denied by Nordin Jackers before Laimer set up Harry Kane for the second. Karl nearly scored again, and Luis Diaz added a powerful third shortly after, making the result decisive.
