Bayern Munich racked up a double-figure winning margin in a 10-0 thrashing of amateurs Auckland City in their opening Club World Cup fixture.
A mismatch was expected between the Bundesliga giants and the New Zealand league champions but the gap was wider than many expected as Bayern racked up a record score in the history of the Club World Cup.
With a squad including estate agents and teachers, part-timers Auckland were outclassed from the first whistle in the opening game of Group C with a Kingsley Coman double, Michael Olise and Sacha Boey putting Vincent Kompany's team 4-0 up inside 22 minutes.
The goals kept on flowing with Olise grabbing his second and Thomas Muller netting before the break. Harry Kane departed in the second half without finding the net but his replacement Jamal Musiala filled his boots, scoring a 21-minute hat-trick before Muller wrapped up the scoring by adding a remarkable 10th goal.
The victory comfortably surpassed the previous biggest win at the Club World Cup - Al Hilal's 6-1 triumph over Al Jazira in 2022.
Auckland face Benfica in their second Group C game in Orlando and Bayern take on Boca Juniors - both games are on Friday.
