Bayern won 6-1 in the third round of the Bundesliga against Holstein Kiel in 2024-2025 season at Holstein Stadion in Kiel, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany on the 15th (Korea time).

In the 13th minute of the first half, Musiala intercepted and dribbled the ball just before the opposing goalkeeper caught it, and the low and fast pass from the deep position of the box hit the leg of the opposing midfielder Lamberg and flowed into Kill's goal.

Bayern's offensive continued to haunt Kiel. Gnabry's sharp cutback pass inside the box was accurately delivered to Kane in the center of the box in the 26th minute, but Kane's shot was slightly missed and headed to the side of the net. In the 37th minute of the first half, a long pass delivered into the box was finished with Comang's shot through Musiala and Gnabry, but was blocked by a save.

Bayern's fourth score started with Kim Min-jae.

Kill made up one goal. In the 37th minute of the second half, Armin Gugovic finished with a header from Timoteusi Pujacic's cross in a counterattack and shook the Bayern net. Kim Min-jae could not control the loss because he was in a situation that prevented Jan Pieter Arp, and Bayern missed the opportunity to win without losing a point due to the score of Gugovic, who was not marked.
