Vincent Kompany made an impressive debut as Bayern Munich manager, leading the team to a dramatic 3-2 win over Wolfsburg at the Volkswagen Arena, extending their unbeaten streak in this fixture to 21 matches.After losing the Bundesliga title for the first time in over a decade, Bayern underwent significant changes in the summer. Despite these changes, their dominance over Wolfsburg was evident in a first half that they controlled comfortably. New Wolfsburg goalkeeper Kamil Grabara kept the home side in the game early on, making saves from Serge Gnabry, Harry Kane, and a Joshua Kimmich header. However, he was powerless to prevent Bayern from taking the lead before the 20-minute mark. Kane set up Sacha Boey on the right flank, whose powerful run and low cross found Jamal Musiala for an easy finish from close range.Given Bayern’s first-half dominance, what followed in the second half was unexpected. Just 30 seconds after the restart, Boey fouled Tiago Tomás in the penalty area, giving Wolfsburg a chance to equalize. Lovro Majer converted the spot-kick, and moments later, he completed his brace to put the hosts in front. Bayern’s Kim Min-jae lost possession near his own goal, allowing Patrick Wimmer to set up Majer for a simple finish.Faced with a sudden reversal, Kompany’s team showed resilience. They equalized just after the hour mark when Kane headed a corner back across goal, and Jakub Kamiński inadvertently turned the ball into his own net. The match was now evenly poised, and Wolfsburg nearly regained the lead when Kevin Behrens missed a golden opportunity, firing wide in a one-on-one situation with Manuel Neuer.Harry Kane then had a chance to put Bayern ahead, skillfully controlling a cross from Kingsley Coman, but his shot was blocked by Kamiński. However, Bayern’s persistence paid off when Kane assisted Gnabry, who slid the ball home to secure a hard-fought victory.The win means Bayern Munich are now unbeaten on the opening weekend of the Bundesliga for 13 consecutive seasons, while Wolfsburg have lost their first league game of the season for only the second time in the last decade.BUNDESLIGA – MATCHDAY 1FridayM’ gladbach – Leverkusen 2-3 (0-1)/Elvedi 59, Kleindienst 85 – Xhaka 12, Wirtz 38, 90+11/SaturdayAugsburg – Werder 2-2 (2-1)/Rexhbecaj 16, Essende 35 – Agu 12, Njinmah 58/Freiburg – Stuttgart 3-1 (1-1)/Kubler 27, 61, Doan 54 – Demirovic 2/Hoffenheim – Holstein Kiel 3-2 (2-0)/Kramaric 6 pen, 37, 87 – Bernhardsson 63, Machino 89/Mainz – Union Berlin 1-1 (0-0)/Amiri 53 – Benes 74/RB Leipzig – Bochum 1-0 (0-0)/Nusa 59/Dortmund – Eintr.Frankfurt 2-0 (0-0)/Gittens 72, 90+3/SundayWolfsburg – Bayern 2-3 (0-1)/Majer 47 pen, 55 – Musiala 20, Kaminsky 65 og.
