VfB Stuttgart 0-5 FC Bayern München: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of VfB Stuttgart 0-5 FC Bayern München in the Bundesliga on Saturday, 06 December 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

FC Bayern München won 5-0 against VfB Stuttgart. The visitors took an early lead when Konrad Laimer scored in the 11th minute, assisted by Michael Olise, setting a dominant tone that aligned with Bayern’s strong recent form of three wins and a draw in their last four league games before this match. Stuttgart, coming off a mixed run including a loss and a draw in their previous outings, struggled to respond as Bayern controlled much of the first half.

The second half saw Bayern pull away decisively, with Harry Kane netting in the 66th minute assisted by Joshua Kimmich, followed by Josip Stanisic’s goal in the 78th assisted by Luis Díaz. Stuttgart’s situation worsened with Lorenz Assignon’s red card in the 81st minute, and Bayern capitalised quickly as Harry Kane converted a penalty in the 82nd before completing his hat-trick in the 88th, assisted again by Michael Olise. This emphatic victory extended Bayern’s unbeaten streak, while Stuttgart’s recent defeats highlighted their defensive vulnerabilities.

Bayern’s 59% possession underlined their control of the game, allowing them to dictate the tempo against Stuttgart’s 41%, though the hosts showed flair in transitions with 73 successful dribbles compared to Bayern’s 33. The visitors earned four corners to Stuttgart’s three, reflecting more attacking territory, and recorded four assists while Stuttgart had none, pointing to sharper final-third play that led to their five goals. Discipline was an issue for both sides, with Stuttgart picking up two yellow cards and one red, while Bayern received four yellows, but Bayern’s penalty success (one scored from one taken) proved crucial without any injury-time goals for either team.

Stuttgart used all five substitutions, including Chris Führich replacing Nikolas Nartey at 61 minutes and double changes at 74 minutes where Lorenz Assignon came on for Josha Vagnoman and Tiago Tomás for Bilal El Khannouss, followed by late switches at 89 minutes with Atakan Karazor for Jamie Leweling and Finn Jeltsch for Deniz Undav. Bayern also made five changes, starting with Josip Stanisic replacing Tom Bischof at 46 minutes, then Harry Kane for Nicolas Jackson and Lennart Karl for Raphaël Guerreiro at 60 minutes, Aleksandar Pavlovic for Leon Goretzka at 61 minutes, and Hiroki Ito for Dayot Upamecano at 83 minutes, which helped maintain their momentum.

Bayern opened the scoring early through Konrad Laimer’s 11th-minute goal assisted by Michael Olise, giving them a platform to build on. The game shifted further in the second half when Harry Kane scored in the 66th minute with Joshua Kimmich’s assist, extending the lead before Josip Stanisic added another in the 78th assisted by Luis Díaz. A key turning point came with Lorenz Assignon’s red card in the 81st minute for Stuttgart, which left them short-handed and vulnerable.

Bayern immediately exploited this as Harry Kane converted a penalty in the 82nd minute, and he sealed his hat-trick in the 88th with another assist from Michael Olise. Earlier, a VAR check involving Nikolas Nartey at 43 minutes did not alter the flow, but substitutions like Harry Kane replacing Nicolas Jackson at 60 minutes boosted Bayern’s attack, while Stuttgart’s cards, including yellows for Ameen Al-Dakhil at 2 minutes and Jamie Leweling at 4 minutes, added to their early pressure.

VfB Stuttgart lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, focusing on defensive solidity with attacking support from players like Jamie Leweling and Deniz Undav in forward roles. Key partnerships included Bilal El Khannouss in midfield, while substitutions saw Chris Führich come on for Nikolas Nartey to add width, and later Tiago Tomás replacing Bilal El Khannouss alongside Lorenz Assignon for Josha Vagnoman to refresh the right side. Atakan Karazor and Finn Jeltsch provided late defensive reinforcements by replacing Jamie Leweling and Deniz Undav.

FC Bayern München deployed a 4-2-3-1 shape, emphasising midfield control through players like Leon Goretzka and Joshua Kimmich, with Harry Kane leading the line after coming on as a substitute for Nicolas Jackson. Standout roles included Michael Olise’s creative assists and Luis Díaz’s involvement in key moments, while Josip Stanisic replaced Tom Bischof at half-time to strengthen the defence. Further changes like Aleksandar Pavlovic for Leon Goretzka and Hiroki Ito for Dayot Upamecano helped maintain their dominance.

Bwin’s Man of the Match was Konrad Laimer, who stood out with his early goal in the 11th minute that set Bayern on their way to victory. He contributed one goal, zero assists, zero big chances created and one key pass, demonstrating his influence in midfield by breaking up play and transitioning effectively. Laimer’s performance was pivotal in Bayern’s control, highlighting his all-around impact without needing to come off the bench.
