A late goal by Serge Gnabry secured Bayern Munich a hard-fought 3-2 victory at Wolfsburg on Sunday, giving Vincent Kompany a winning start in the Bundesliga. Wolfsburg started brightly, but the visitors made the better chances in the first half, taking the lead after fine work by Sacha Boey down the right to set up Jamal Musiala for an easy tap-in.

Thomas Muller became Bayern's all-time record appearance-maker in the Bundesliga seconds before Jakub Kaminski's own goal levelled the scores in the 65th minute. Sunday marked his 474th Bundesliga match for Bayern, surpassing Sepp Maier's record. This milestone adds another feather to Muller's illustrious career with Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich have now scored in each of their last 32 Bundesliga games against Wolfsburg, totalling 93 goals. This is their longest-scoring run against any particular side in their history. The visitors are also unbeaten in their season-opener for each of the last 13 seasons, having won 11 and drawn two, setting a new record for a team in Bundesliga history.

Wolfsburg created all kinds of trouble for Bayern's defence and Majer gave them the lead in the 55th minute, having also struck the post shortly before. However, Bayern were punished for a slow start after the break, as Boey brought down Tiago Tomas in the box, and Lovro Majer made no mistake from the spot.

Despite Wolfsburg's strong start and equaliser early in the second half, Bayern managed to regain control. Thomas Muller's historic appearance was followed by an own goal from Jakub Kaminski that brought Bayern back into contention. With eight minutes left on the clock, Serge Gnabry struck to secure all three points for Bayern Munich.
