Nestory Irankunda helps Bayern Munich avoid FC Düren defeat
Nestoriy Irankunda was on target for Bayern Munich as fourth-tier FC Düren earned a 1-1 draw at the Karl-Knipprath-Stadion in Jülich.
Düren 1-1 Bayern Munich
Goals: 0-1 García (40'), 1-1 Irankunda (69')
Regionalliga West's Düren made it clear from the off that it wasn't going to be an easy afternoon for Bayern, with their striker Rafael García first testing Sven Ullrich from an angle and then nearly lobbing him. Bayern attempted to get a foothold in the game with Leon Goretzka their biggest threat, but instead it was the home side who took a shock lead thanks to a defensive mix-up between Josip Stanišić and Ullrich, which García pounced on. Things didn't get much better for the Bundesliga side until coach Vincent Kompany made a string of second-half changes and his injection of youth did the trick. Adam Aznou's shot from range was saved but summer signing Nestory Irankunda was there to follow up on the rebound. Bayern had numerous chances to go ahead through Serge Gnabry and Arijon Ibrahimović, but Düren held on for a shock result that will cause Bayern some headaches before their next friendly against Tottenham Hotspur in South Korea on August 3.

Bayern have returned home after a successful tour which saw the return of a number of first team stars, a win over Tottenham Hotspur, and an amazing time enjoying South Korea.

Joshua Kimmich's thoughts
“You could already see a certain thumbprint. I think it was nice for the spectators too, it went back and forth. Both teams played attacking football and pressed one-on-one. I’m very hungry for the new season and we have ambitious goals together.”
90'
Thomas Müller on the win over Spurs
“Today’s match was very intense. The intensity is always high in clashes with Tottenham but our plan worked very well. We should’ve led by more at half-time. Overall we feel good. Considering that many players resumed training just a few days ago and then we go and produce a first half like that, I’m satisfied. So may it continue."

Neuer impressed
Goalkeeper and captain Manuel Neuer was equally pleased by the team's performance against the Premier League side, saying: "We got off to a good start, we put Tottenham under pressure early on and allowed them little. We created many chances by winning the ball high up the pitch. It’s just fun to see the team reward themselves for the hard work. We turned in a very good display in the first half in particular.”
90'
Post game thoughts
Following an impressive win over Tottenham in Seoul, coach Vincent Kompany was pleased by the mentality shown by his side, as he told the official club website: "We made a lot of substitutions and the boys created a lot of chances – that was a sign of strong mentality." Thomas Müller agreed with his new manager, saying: "Our plan worked very well. We should've led by more at half-time. Overall we feel good."
90'
Full time: Bayern 2-1 Tottenham
Kompany's side come away with the win and it's just about deserved on the balance of play. Bayern were by far the better side in the first half and created a number of clear-cut chances, but only held a 1-0 lead at the break thanks to Vidović's early strike. Goretzka added a second early in the second half, but a much-improved Tottenham side pulled a goal back through a Porro stunner.
Full-time
88'
Irankunda goes it alone
The stocky winger receives possession all on his own, wide on the left. He immediately sprints forward into space and as he has no support in the box, he goes for goal himself, producing a fine save from Vicario.
85'
Tottenham pushing
Spurs are trying to grab an equaliser in the closing minutes and are committing plenty of players forward to that end. Bayern are holding firm though.
81'
Substitution
76'
Resuming control
After a brief drinks break, Bayern are keeping possession well. That will come as a relief to Kompany, as Tottenham had been gaining momentum prior to that.
72'
Almost in!
Tottenham push everyone forward as they seek an equaliser, allowing Bayern a chance on the counter. Laimer plays it forward to Zaragoza, sprinting forward from the halfway line. If he can control the ball he'll only have the goalkeeper to beat, but he can't quite take it in his stride and a defender gets back to clear the danger.

Substitution

67'
Tottenham pull a goal back
Porro is given time and space to line up a shot, but he's still 30 yards out and off to the right, so there appears to be no imminent danger. However, his shot is so well struck that it leaves Ulreich no chance as it whizzes into the top corner. Game on!
60'
Huge save from Ulreich!
Son gets forward at pace and sends a perfectly weighted pass through for Sarr. He only has Ulreich to beat, but the Bayern goalkeeper produces a brilliant save to keep it out.
56'
Bayern double their lead!
Tel, who has been lively all game, drives forward down the left. Zaragoza peels away to his left, taking a defender with him and allowing Tel to cut inside. He spies Goretzka arriving in the box and slides a pass into him. Goretzka's first effort is saved by Vicario, but the midfielder is alert and tucks in the rebound from close range,

Zaragoza denied
Stanišić plays a delightful through-ball for Zaragoza to chase. He darts into the box on the right and gets a shot away, aiming for the far post, but Vicario saves well.
52'
Six changes from Bayern at the break
Ulreich is on for Neuer, with Bryan, Palhinha, Laimer, Goretzka and Ličina all taking to the pitch as well. Kimmich, Gnabry, Vidović, Pavlović and Müller have gone off.
48'
Kulusevski goes close
Having been largely outplayed for most of the first half, Tottenham immediately try to restore parity, Kulusevski sending a low effort on the spin just wide.
46'
Peeep peeeeep!
Bayern get the action under way again!
Kick-off!
Half-time
43'
Tel again
Nice approach play from Guerreiro and Vidović down the left before a cross is swung over to the right, finding Tel. His first touch is a little bit heavy, meaning he has to rush his finish - and can only prod wide.
39'
Gnabry again!
Some neat, first-time passing from Bayern in tight spaces in the Tottenham area. The ball eventually comes to Gnabry, on the right, and his curling left-footed shot rolls just the wrong side of the far post.
37'
Tel a whisker away!
Vidović flicks a pass with the outside of his right boot to Tel, on the left. He drops a shoulder, jinks inside and shoots, aiming for the top corner at the far post. He's not far off, with the ball fizzing just wide.
29'
Bayern go close again
It's a three-on-three break with Müller leading the charge before slipping a pass forward to Tel on his left. He looks up and tries to find Vidović at the back post, but Son sprints back to clear just in time.
24'
Next opening
Bayern break forward well down the right. Boey pulls the ball back into the middle, and Kimmich's dummy affords Gnabry some extra time and space to shoot, but his left-footed effort is deflected and loops over the bar.
20'
Over from Kim
Kimmich whips in a cross from the right to Kim, in the centre of the penalty box. He guides a header goalwards but it goes just over the bar.
18'
Tel's first sight of goal
Müller spreads the ball wide to the left as Bayern break forward, finding Tel. The French youngster jinks his way to the edge of the penalty area before cutting inside onto his right foot and unleashing a powerful drive at goal that Vicario does well to save.
14'
Boey does well
The Bayern right-back sprints back to make up ground on Son, who had peeled away behind him to collect a long ball. The Tottenham forward was flagged for offside in the end, but it was still a great show of determination from Boey.
10'
Another chance for Spurs!
The English side get forward on the break and go three-on-three. They work it to the left to Kulusevski, who twists and turns to create space, but Stanišić does well to keep his eye on the ball and make a vital block.
8'
Son has a go!
Cutting in from the left unchallenged, Son has time and space to line up an effort at goal. It'll take something special to beat Manuel Neuer from that distance, and Son's effort is wayward, sailing high and wide of the target.
5'
Bayern lead!
An early advantage for Kompany's side! Tottenham try to play out from the back but Gnabry is alert and pounces on the ball out from Vicario. His attempted pass to Tel is intercepted but the ball bobbles up to youngster Vidović, who chests it down and prods the ball through the goalkeeper's legs and into the net.
2'
Chance for Gnabry!
Müller floats a lovely ball over the Spurs defence from the left, aiming for Gnabry arriving at the back post. He gets there ahead of his marker but can't keep his first-time effort down and it goes just over.
1'
Peeeeep!
And we're off as Tottenham get the ball rolling in Seoul.
Kick-off!
Upamecano, Coman & de Ligt take up pre-season training
Back home in Munich, Dayot Upamecano, Kingsley Coman and Matthijs de Ligt began their preparations for the new season at the club's Säbener Straße complex on Friday, having each enjoyed an extended break after reaching the EURO 2024 semi-finals last month. Leroy Sané is likewise currently preparing for the new season in Munich.

Season's hopes
Looking ahead to the new season, Kompany was also firm in his expectations of his team: "We're going to give everything to do better this season. I expect a reaction from everyone, which can already be observed in training..."
Manager's thoughts
Speaking in Friday's pre-match press conference, Vincent Kompany had clear expectations for his players ahead of the game: "We want to build up a good fitness level. I want to see the right mentality, also from the players who haven't been training for as long. Most of the players will be involved tomorrow, but we'll spread out the game time."
Keeping good Kompany
Speaking on his experience working with new coach Vincent Kompany so far, the South Korean defender was excited about their future together:
"He was a great defender who played at the highest level. I'm trying to learn as much as I can from him. He likes defenders who play aggressively, so I think it could be a good fit.
Kim feeling prepared
Ahead of tomorrow's meeting with Tottenham in Seoul, defender Kim Min-Jae spoke on how he feels he has benefitted from pre-season so far in Friday's pre-match press conference: "It's the first complete pre-season that I've spent in Europe. I've normally been moving around a lot, but it's not about me, it's about us gelling as a team, preparing as well as we can and getting used to the new coach."

Leroy Sané back in action
Leroy Sané won't be in Korea as he recovers from a surgery on a groin injuyry, but there is some good news. The Germany international has been back on the training pitch back at Säbener Straße and even working with a ball during an individual session.
Touchdown and straight to training
After landing in Korea, Bayern have headed to the Goyang Stadium for a training session. Vincent Kompany put the players through their paces with sessions of jogging, stretching and ball drills. João Palhinha was present for his first training session in FCB's red.

A tougher test
Bayern will face more of a challenge today than in their previous game against Rottach Egern, with Düren having won the league title last season on the way to promotion to the fourth-tier Regionalliga West. Their squad does also contain some Bundesliga experience, with ex-Cologne pair Adam Matuszczyk and Christian Clemens a part of Düren's squad.
Another chance for the youngsters
With sporting director Christoph Freund confirming that the Germany national team players and new signing João Palhinha still won't be involved yet, it gives young players such as Adam Aznou and Nestory Irankunda another chance to impress new coach Vincent Kompany.
Next up: FC Düren
Vincent Kompany's men will face Regionalliga West side FC Düren on Sunday afternoon as his side continue their preparations for the upcoming season.

No Kane in Korea
"Harry Kane, Alphonso Davies, Dayot Upamecano and Kingsley Coman will not be there, but hopefully for the first cup game."
Kompany on his defensive tactics
"We don't talk too much about systems. In the Bundesliga, the teams and coaches are very flexible. It also depends on who you're playing against. Sometimes you play more of a zone defense and sometimes you play a man-to-man defense. We know the profiles of the players, where they feel comfortable and will always try to use that as a guideline."

Kompany on guaranteed starters
"We could go through all the names now. Harry Kane, Musiala - what do I think about Goretzka. We could go on like this all evening. But that's not my intention. I played at this level and it doesn't really matter. Nobody ever said about me back then that I would definitely play, even though I was captain. These players are used to meeting the highest standards. We need everyone. If you want to hear names, you're completely missing the point."
Kompany on being a defender's defender
"I felt like I had spoken to everyone. But of course I also like to speak to the defenders. I'm lucky that I work with top players. You always think that it's enough to be at the top level. But I don't have that feeling here at all."

One friendly planned
Vincent Kompany's men have one friendly on the agenda against Harry Kane and Eric Dier's former club Tottenham Hotspur in Seoul on 3 August at 8pm local time. The team will also hold an open training session at the Seoul World Cup Stadium at 6pm the evening before.
