"The gulf in class was evident from the opening whistle on Tuesday night. The German Champions dictated proceedings from the outset and raced out to a 4-0 lead inside of 35 minutes courtesy of a brace from Harry Kane and a goal apiece from Raphael Guerreiro and Nicolas Jackson. Just before the half-time break, Pafos Captain Mislav Orsic got his team on the scoresheet, against the run of play, with a well-struck long-range shot."
"Michael Olise was truly magical in Cyprus. In the first half, he sliced and diced his way through the Pafos defense, carving it open seemingly almost at will. Just about every time Olise got on the ball in the final third, Bayern looked threatening. In the 15th minute, he set up Harry Kane for the opening goal with a deft pass through the inside right channel. Just past the half-hour mark, after drawing multiple defenders, he squared the ball to Nicolas Jackson to stroke home Bayern's third."
"Olise was withdrawn after 73 dominant minutes, but not before he made it 5-1 by following up after Jackson's initial shot from close range was parried by the keeper. A goal and two assists don't paint the full picture in terms of how brilliantly creative the 23-year-old forward was on the night. It was a man-of-the-match performance from Olise, and at times it looked effortless."
Bayern Munich dominated Pafos 5-1 in matchday two of the Champions League, taking control early and building a 4-0 lead within 35 minutes. Harry Kane scored twice while Raphael Guerreiro and Nicolas Jackson added goals before Pafos captain Mislav Orsic pulled one back with a long-range strike just before half-time. Bayern remained dominant after the break and Michael Olise capped the scoring with a composed finish. Olise produced a standout display, creating chances throughout, registering a goal and two assists, and being substituted after 73 minutes following immense influence on the game.
