**Munich, Germany -** Bayern Munich narrowly escaped an embarrassing defeat against Benfica in the Champions League on Wednesday, thanks to a late goal from Jamal Musiala. The German international, assisted by fellow newcomer Harry Kane, secured a 1-0 win for the Bavarians, handing Vincent Kompany’s Benfica a painful loss in their opening group stage encounter.

The match saw Bayern struggling to break down a resolute Benfica defense, with several missed opportunities leaving the German giants frustrated. However, the game turned in the 83rd minute when Kane, making his Champions League debut for Bayern, found Musiala with a pinpoint pass. The young German midfielder made no mistake, slotting the ball past the Benfica goalkeeper to secure the much-needed three points for Bayern.

The victory, albeit a narrow one, will bring relief to Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel, who was under pressure to secure a positive result after a disappointing start to the season. The match highlighted the potential of the partnership between Kane and Musiala, with the former providing the creativity and the latter finishing with clinical precision.

For Benfica, the defeat will be a setback, but Kompany will be encouraged by his team’s resolute performance against one of Europe’s giants.
