Kingsley Coman Makes History: First Goal in the New 32-Team FIFA Club World Cup Format

Kingsley Coman has etched his name into the history books by scoring the very first goal in the new 32-team FIFA Club World Cup format. The French winger found the back of the net in the 6th minute of Bayern Munich’s opening Group C match against Auckland City.

The goal came from a well-directed header, following a flick-on by Jonathan Tah, who was making his official debut for Bayern. Coman’s finish not only gave Bayern an early lead but also marked a historic milestone—the first-ever goal in a restructured global club competition.

Beyond its historical value, the goal underscored Bayern Munich’s dominance and intent to compete for the title. By the end of the first half, the Bundesliga champions had built a 6–0 lead over Auckland City, highlighting the gulf in quality between Europe’s elite and representatives from less competitive regions like Oceania.

Coman’s goal not only signaled the start of the match but also reinforced Bayern’s position as one of the tournament favorites. With world-class talent in every position, Bayern looks set to make a strong push for international glory.
