Socceroos sensation Nestory Irankunda has scored his first goal for Bayern Munich in a 14-1 pre-season friendly thrashing of FC Rottach-Egern.
The 18-year-old former Adelaide United star, who moved to the Bundesliga giants last month, also provided two assists after entering the game at the start of the second-half with his team leading 7-1.
Irankunda’s goal came in the 61st minute, and he also hit the post soon after with a bicycle kick.
Also coming on at the start of the second half for Bayern was 18-year-old Australian goalkeeper Anthony Pavlesic.
Bayern manager Vincent Kompany said he was pleased with the performance, which came at the end of a three-day training camp in the Bavarian Alps.
‘We’ve implemented everything we intended in the last few days, and also got a look at the young players,’ Kompany said.
‘We’re pleased with the game today. The boys fought for every ball and always tried to be positive.
