How Bayern Munich beat Stuttgart 5-1
Bayern controlled most of the territory and created the better chances, but Stuttgart stayed in the contest through the first half. The breakthrough came in the 21st minute when Joshua Kimmich supplied Dayot Upamecano, whose header gave the hosts the lead.
Stuttgart’s best moment arrived seven minutes after half-time. Josha Vagnoman made it 1-1, but the response was immediate. Olise restored Bayern’s lead in the 55th minute from another Kimmich assist, and Vagnoman’s own goal two minutes later turned a tight game into a 3-1 Bayern advantage.
From there, Bayern’s depth became decisive. Ismael Saibari came on and created the final two goals, first for Pavlović in the 82nd minute and then for Díaz in stoppage time. The late goals reflected the wider statistical picture: Bayern finished with 21 shots, six big chances and 47 touches in the Stuttgart penalty area.

What the Bayern Munich vs Stuttgart result means
The 5-1 win gives Bayern Munich three points from their first Bundesliga match of 2026/27 and an immediate goal-difference boost. More importantly, the performance showed how many different routes to goal Bayern possess: a centre-back scored from a set-piece situation, Olise struck from open play, Pavlović arrived from midfield, Díaz finished late and Saibari changed the game from the bench.
For Stuttgart, the 52nd-minute equaliser demonstrated that they could hurt Bayern, but the five-minute sequence that followed decided the contest. Conceding twice immediately after making it 1-1 left them chasing a game Bayern were increasingly controlling.
