Coach Vincent Kompany chose to rotate the squad by resting goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and captain Harry Kane. However, this did not weaken the “Bavarian Giants.” In the 11th minute, Bayern opened the scoring with a beautiful combination between Konrad Laimer and Michael Olise, finished off by Laimer’s skillful backheel — his first goal against Stuttgart.
The visitors continued their strong attack, while Stuttgart, one of the few teams to score in every previous round, appeared almost helpless. Nikolas Nartey’s goal was disallowed by VAR for offside, allowing Bayern to keep their 1-0 lead at halftime.
In the second half, Kompany brought Kane on, and the English striker took just 5 minutes to double the lead with a stunning long-range shot. Josip Stanišić increased the score to 3-0 before Kane completed his hat-trick in the final minutes with a penalty and a close-range finish assisted by Olise.
The 5-0 win allowed Bayern to extend their record of scoring in 21 consecutive Bundesliga matches and secure 16 wins in their last 17 away games against Stuttgart, firmly consolidating their top spot in the league.
