Bayern Munich notched another incredible victory over Rottach-Egern in the customary pre-season friendly, increasing the total aggregate score to 99-3.
During the preparation for the new season, Bayern Munich faced Rottach-Egern, an amateur German club that the "Gray Tigers" often choose as an opponent during training camps in the Tegernsee region. No surprise occurred as the squad of manager Vincent Kompany secured a 15-0 victory.
The Bundesliga side quickly displayed their superiority and led by six goals in the first half. Felipe Chávez, a 19-year-old midfielder with dual German and Peruvian heritage, stood out with a brace. After halftime, Bayern Munich intensified their attack, netting nine additional goals to close the game with a 15-goal difference.
This result extends the astonishing streak of scores in the head-to-head history between the two sides. Adding up all the friendly matches since 2018, Bayern Munich have scored 99 goals and conceded just 3 times against Rottach-Egern.
In addition to the goal avalanche, the game saw a unique moment when Rottach-Egern's treasurer was brought on in the second half. This man, over 50 and also a police officer, unexpectedly had to lace up his boots after a home player was injured. He donned the number 19 jersey and got to compete directly against Bayern Munich's stars for the rest of the match.
The connection between the two clubs started in 2018, when Bayern selected the Tegernsee region for their pre-season training. From then on, the friendly match against Rottach-Egern turned into a regular tradition. In fact, there were reports that the local government required Bayern to play against the town's team—which has around 3,970 residents—as a condition for being allowed to stay.
Rottach-Egern was established in February 1947 in Upper Bavaria. The team primarily competes in Germany's amateur leagues, with their highest level being the Bezirksliga. Their home stadium, Stadion am Birkenmoos, holds around 2,500 fans. Although modest in scale, it has welcomed top clubs like Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, and Atletico Madrid.
