FC Bayern remains on course in the Champions League: After the opening victory against Chelsea FC, the record champions also won their first away game of the new season decisively with a 5-1 victory at Pafos FC. Nicolas Jackson celebrated his debut goal and was visibly satisfied after the match.

Vincent Kompany's team had a perfect start on Tuesday evening and made everything clear early on. Harry Kane put Munich ahead in the 15th minute, and Raphaël Guerreiro added another five minutes later. Newcomer Nicolas Jackson scored his first goal in a Bayern jersey to make it 3-0 (31st minute), before Kane secured his double just three minutes later. A stunning shot from Mislav Orsic shortly before the break brought the hosts to 1-4, but Bayern's defense allowed no more.

After the break, the German record champions controlled the game without matching the intensity of the first half. Michael Olise put the final touch in the 68th minute, making it 5-1. This extended FCB's impressive record: nine competitive matches, nine wins, 27:4 goals.

Newcomer Nicolas Jackson brought particular joy. The striker, on loan from Chelsea, not only scored his debut goal but also assisted Guerreiro's 2-0. After the game, he expressed relief: “It wasn't easy, but we played a very good game and worked hard. I am very happy to have scored my first goal for the club. I am still working on regaining my full fitness, as I haven't played and trained alone for two months. I am working hard every day,” the 24-year-old explained on Prime Video.

With the clear away win in Limassol, Munich underlines their ambitions in the Champions League. After two matchdays, Kane and Co. are at the top of the table with six points and have created the best starting position for the further course of the league phase.
