German Cup: Bayern Munich Cruises to victory in a 4-0 Opener

Bayern Munich started the new season with a 4-0 win against second-division team SSV Ulm in the German Cup as Vincent Kompany made his official debut as the team’s coach.

Thomas Mueller scored twice in three first-half minutes as Bayern Munich beat second-division Ulm.

Harry Kane and Kingsley Coman then scored late in the second half to complete the rout in the first competitive fixture of the German football season.

Winners of 20 German Cups, Bayern have failed to make it past the quarter-finals of the competition since winning the treble in 2019-20.

Bayern brought in Kompany as manager in the summer after failing to win a trophy last season, their first trophyless campaign since 2012.

Bayern veteran Mueller, 34, tapped in a Joshua Kimmich pass after 12 minutes and added another shortly after, tucking in a Serge Gnabry cross.

Coman turned in a pass from new signing Michael Olise with 11 minutes remaining before Kane added another in injury time, his first German Cup goal.
