Bayern Munich's under-19 side put six past Bodø/Glimt in their UEFA Youth League League Phase encounter on Wednesday. The match ended 6-1 at the Allianz Arena, with the hosts establishing dominance from the opening minutes. By then it was clear how this one would unfold.
N. Codjo-Evora gave Bayern the lead after just three minutes, and B. Olychenko doubled it by the sixth. The visitors were pegged back before half-time and never really got a foothold. And here's the thing — the second half brought even more punishment.
J. Linaker Jenssen turned scorer with an own goal in the 50th minute, then H. Chooly made it four before M. Srb added a fifth. F. Egwuatu scored in the 88th minute and B. Assomo completed the scoring in stoppage time. Bayern threw everything at it and Bodø/Glimt gave nothing away that mattered.
The statistics tell the story without embellishment. Bayern registered 22 shots on target to Bodø/Glimt's two, while possession sat at 67 per cent to 33. The hosts also earned seven corners and had eight shots off target compared to their opponents' zero.
Bayern sit 27th in the table with one win, one draw and four defeats from six games — four points. Bodø/Glimt occupy 35th place with a winless campaign, six defeats and no points on the board.
Neither side has much to write home about in the standings, but the result extends Bayern's modest run of recent form. They beat Ingolstadt U19 4-2 in their last outing and RS Eintracht U19 3-1 before that. Bodø/Glimt's recent record reads differently — defeats to Dortmund, Juventus and Monaco among others.
