Bayern Munich dominated VfB Stuttgart in their Bundesliga season opener on Friday, securing a comprehensive 5-1 victory at the Allianz Arena. The commanding performance was highlighted by Michael Olise’s outstanding display, earning him the Man of the Match award for his influential contributions throughout the encounter.
The French winger proved to be the catalyst for Bayern’s second-half surge, converting a clinical finish to restore his team’s advantage after Stuttgart had briefly threatened a comeback. Olise’s impact extended beyond his goal, as he demonstrated his creative prowess by threading a long pass to Ismael Saibari, who subsequently provided the assist for Aleksandar Pavlović to score Bayern’s fourth goal and effectively seal the result.
Olise’s strong start continues a promising period for the player, who faced speculation about his future during the summer transfer window but ultimately remained in Bavaria. He had previously impressed in Bayern’s Supercup encounter against Borussia Dortmund last week, contributing both a goal and an assist in that fixture.
The Man of the Match voting reflected Olise’s dominance, with the winger claiming 65 percent of the votes. Stuttgart goalkeeper Fabian Bredlow finished second with 13 percent, while Joshua Kimmich claimed third place with 12 percent of the vote share.
