GELSENKIRCHEN, Germany: Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise scored a second-half brace as he came back from conceding an early goal to win 5-1 against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League on Tuesday to claim his first victory in the outside in this season’s competition.

Bayern’s third consecutive victory places them eighth in the automatic qualification spots with 12 points, while Shakhtar are 27th with four points, three points from the playoffs.

Bayern had suffered defeats in their previous two away games in the competition and were trailing after five minutes when Oleksandr Zubkov’s through ball found Kevin, who cut inside to Kim Min-jae before sending his shot into the far corner.

The Germans were level six minutes later. Olise lost possession in the box but the ball fell kindly to teammate Konrad Laimer who took a touch to control it then smashed his effort into the roof of the net.

Shakhtar had a chance to go back in front, but Georgiy Sudakov placed his shot wide after an excellent pass from Kevin took him almost from the penalty spot.

Bayern came down the other end, Jamal Musiala took the ball in the box and played a pass to Thomas Mueller who made no mistake with a simple split finish just before half-time.

Shakhtar put pressure on Bayern early in the second half but failed to find a second goal before the visitors won.

Bayern thought they had extended their lead when Musiala volleyed home from a corner, but the goal was scored for a foul on the goalkeeper. However, a few minutes later, the referee signaled a foul by Alaa Ghram on substitute Sacha Boey.

Olise came on in the 70th minute and although goalkeeper Dmytro Riznyk went the right way, the ball was powered into the top corner to put Bayern well and truly in control.

Musiala got the goal he deserved with an excellent performance three minutes from time, collecting a loose ball in the box and beating Riznyk.

There was still time for some magic from Olise in injury time as he deftly weaved his way through the Shakhtar defense before calmly finding the bottom corner with his shot.
