Bayern Munich's victory is at stake, as newly signed player Díaz makes a powerful debut
FC Bayern Kick off Bundesliga Preparations with Successful Test Game
FC Bayern Munich have started their preparations for the upcoming Bundesliga season in style, securing a 2:1 victory over Olympique Lyon in a test game. The match, played on an undisclosed date, was the Bavarians' first outing since the arrival of new signing Luis Díaz from Liverpool.
Díaz, a Colombian international and versatile winger, made his debut for the club, replacing Joshua Kimmich. Despite not finding the back of the net, Díaz put in a strong performance, demonstrating the goal threat and intense playing style that made him a standout player at Liverpool.
The first half of the game was a defensive affair, with both teams struggling to create dangerous chances. Lennart Karl had the best opportunity for FC Bayern, but his effort was saved by the Olympique Lyon goalkeeper. The score remained 0:0 at halftime.
After the break, FC Bayern stepped up their game. Michael Olise, who started on the left wing, scored twice for the Bavarians, with his first goal coming from the penalty spot after a foul on Díaz. Olise's second goal came just ten minutes later, putting FC Bayern in a commanding 2:0 lead.
Olympique Lyon pulled one back in the 83rd minute through Alejandro Gomes Rodriguez, but it was too little, too late for the French side.
The second half saw a complete change of FC Bayern's starting eleven, with Paul Wanner starting in place of the injured Jamal Musiala. Jonathan Tah, a new signing for the club, made his debut in central defense, partnering Cassiano Kiala. However, no information was provided about Kiala's performance in the game.
Jonas Urbig replaced Manuel Neuer in goal for FC Bayern during the match, but the young goalkeeper was not tested extensively.
FC Bayern will next face Grasshopper Zurich in a test game on August 12, before starting their Bundesliga campaign at home against RB Leipzig on August 22. The Supercup against VfB Stuttgart is scheduled for August 16.
Sports continued to dominate the scene as both FC Bayern Munich and Olympique Lyon showcased their football skills in a test game, with the Bundesliga champions emerging victorious with a 2:1 score. Despite a defensive first half, Michael Olise's brace in the second half ensured the Bavarians' success, giving a hint of the football-filled season awaiting fans.
