📸 Wild Bundesliga opener: VfB blow big chance & FCB strike cold If the first half hour is anything to go by, we’re in for a truly exciting evening. FC Bayern and VfB Stuttgart are currently opening the 64th Bundesliga season, one many have been eagerly awaiting. The first goal — we now know that for certain — goes to FC Bayern. A Kimmich corner found Upamecano’s head at the near post, and he put the ball into the net (21’). So the record champions are in front, even though it hadn’t necessarily looked that way. After a lively opening spell, the first big chance did not fall to the home side, but to the visitors at the Allianz Arena. A deflected header from Prömel landed right at the feet of Tiago Tomás in the Bayern box, but he failed to put the ball in the net from point-blank range. Instead, his shot skimmed the top edge of the crossbar and landed in the netting behind the goal. It was almost a certain goal and very much one of those: “How did that not go in?!” Stuttgart’s failure to take that chance — and their inability to make the most of the two half-chances before it — came back to haunt them shortly afterwards. Bayern then responded: an Olise free-kick struck the woodwork (17’), and shortly after that came the goal. So far, we’ve been treated to a highly entertaining match that leaves you wanting more.
