Vincent Kompany’s side secured their first European win of the season through second-half goals from Jamal Musiala, Harry Kane, Alphonso Davies, and a brace from Michael Olise.
Jamal Musiala Marks Emotional Return With Opening Goal
The match was defined by the return of Jamal Musiala to Bayern’s starting lineup. According to ArchySport, the 23-year-old attacking midfielder was making his first start since collapsing during two straight preseason games. Operating in his customary No. 10 position behind Harry Kane, Musiala broke the deadlock two minutes into the second half. A deflected shot fell into his path, and he fired past goalkeeper Julian Faye Lund to open the scoring.
“The feeling I had today is one I haven’t had in a while,” Musiala told broadcaster Prime Video, as reported by ArchySport. “I’m happy, and I know I still have steps forward to take.”
I’m getting my rhythm back. The team really supported me, the coach, my teammates, they were a big help.”
Stubborn First-Half Resistance From Bodø/Glimt
For the opening 45 minutes, the Norwegian visitors frustrated Kompany’s side. According to match accounts, Bodø/Glimt goalkeeper Nikita Haikin repeatedly denied the hosts, turning away a glancing header from Luis Díaz and clinging to a powerful Joshua Kimmich volley. However, Haikin picked up an injury making the save against Kimmich and could not continue for the second half, paving the way for Julian Faye Lund to take over in goal.

Second-Half Floodgates Open at the Allianz Arena
Once Musiala broke the deadlock, Bayern’s offense overwhelmed the visitors. In the 61st minute, Harry Kane doubled the lead by heading in a sharp free-kick delivered by Michael Olise. According to ArchySport, the goal placed Kane alongside elite company in European scoring statistics.
Canadian left-back Alphonso Davies made it 3-0 in the 77th minute with a thumping effort from 20 yards out after a corner was half-cleared. Michael Olise then added a late brace, scoring with a curling long-range strike in the 82nd minute before converting again in stoppage time. Bodø/Glimt finished the match with ten men after Odin Bjørtuft received a direct red card for fouling Olise near the edge of the box.
