The Senegalese forward first set up Raphaël Guerreiro for the second goal before sweeping Michael Olise's pass into the bottom corner for his own strike. Olise was equally influential, scoring himself and setting up Harry Kane for the opener.

Kane went on to net a brace, completing a brilliant individual attacking display.

Bayern dominated despite a brief moment of resistance from the hosts, whose consolation came from Mislav Oršić thundering a strike into the top corner after a defensive error.

The comprehensive win ensured Bayern continued their streak of scoring in both halves this season, while Pafos got a rude awakening as their four-game unbeaten run came to an abrupt end.
