Bayern Munich dominates Grasshoppers in the friendly – 4-0!
On Tuesday, August 12, 2025, FC Bayern Munich met Grasshopper Club Zurich at the Letzigrund Stadium in Zurich for a highly anticipated friendly match that was broadcast live on FC Bayern TV PLUS. However, so that fans don't have to miss the game, a paid subscription is required, which costs 4 euros per month. There was no transmission via Sky or DAZN.
FC Bayern have been in excellent form in the last few weeks. The Munich team were able to clearly win two test games in the pre-season: first with 2-1 against Olympique Lyon and then with a whopping 4-0 against Tottenham Hotspur. The Grasshopper Club, on the other hand, is in a different mode after three match days of the Swiss Super League, with two defeats and one draw in 10th place out of a total of 12. It remains to be seen whether the Zurich team can pull off a surprise against the German record champions.
Gameplay and highlights
Bayern already showed in the first half that they wanted to live up to their role as favorites. Lennart Karl scored the first goal in the 21st minute, supported by Tom Bischof. To the cheers of the fans, they increased their lead to 2-0 in the 26th minute through Jonah Kusi-Asare. Shortly after the break, in the 47th minute, Harry Kane made the Grasshoppers' hopes dwindle even further with a 3-0 win.
However, the Grasshoppers didn't give up and brought the game back to memory in the 51st minute when Loris Giandomenico scored the 3-1 goal, which temporarily shook up the game. But Bayern countered with a high offensive and turned things around again after the 68th minute: Mathys Tel and Thomas Müller ensured the final score of 4-1 in the final phase. Despite the setback, FC Bayern dominated the game and had over 80 percent possession of the ball.
Conclusion and outlook
With this win, FC Bayern underlines its ambitions for the coming season, while the Grasshoppers will have to hope for quick improvements if they want to get out of their current position in the Swiss Super League. The next challenges include FC Bayern's clash with VfL Wolfsburg on Sunday, August 15th and at home against SC Freiburg on September 1st.
The betting odds for the test match were on their last legs on the day of the event, but the record champions' performance has fans and the team looking optimistically into the future. The Grasshoppers can only hope that they can improve their performance in the coming period.
