Vincent Kompany started his first Bundesliga season as Bayern coach with a nail-biting 3-2 win. After taking an early lead against Wolfsburg on Sunday, the Munich side briefly trailed in the second half.

FC Bayern Munich showed comeback qualities in coach Vincent Kompany's Bundesliga debut and celebrated a successful start to the season. The German soccer record champions won 3:2 (1:0) away at VfL Wolfsburg in the first round, but were behind at one stage. Konrad Laimer was on the bench for Munich, while Patrick Wimmer set up the goal that gave Wolfsburg, coached by Ralph Hasenhüttl, a 2-1 lead.

Bayern were clearly superior in the first half and took the lead through Jamal Musiala (20). After half-time, Munich initially let the lead slip from their grasp. First Wolfsburg's Lovro Majer scored with a penalty (47'), a few minutes later the Croatian even took the lead after an assist from Wimmer (55'). But Bayern came back: an own goal from VfL player Jakub Kaminski equalized (65') before Serge Gnabry scored the winner for Munich (82').
