Champions LeagueSane scores brilliant brace as Bayern beat Inter in opener07/09/2022 AT 18:18 Stuttgart though, played bravely from the start, while Bayern looked out of sorts. Julian Nagelsmann had rotated his side after midweek Champions League action, making Mathys Tel the youngest player in history to start a Bundesliga match for Bayern. It was Tel who opened the scoring when Alphonso Davies rode a challenge down the left before firing in a low cross.

Stuttgart almost had the perfect start to the second half, putting the ball into the back of the net after a horrendous Joshua Kimmich error. But VAR intervened to rule it out for a very light foul. The visitors did get their equaliser a few minutes later, as Konstantinos Mavropanos intercepted a loose ball and squared for Chris Fuhrich who could not miss.

Bayern were shaking, but Jamal Musiala put them right with a brilliant individual goal. Receiving the ball in the box, he froze defender Atakan Karazor with a lovely faint before whipping his shot into the bottom corner. Goalkeeper Florian Muller twice did well to deny Serge Gnabry and Musiala as Stuttgart weathered a storm of Bayern attacks.
