Vincent Kompany’s first test as Bayern Munich manager ended in a frustrating draw against Wehen Wiesbaden at the BRITA Arena. Michael Olise was visibly angry.
The 1-1 result exposed early tactical vulnerabilities. Fans can watch the full replay via the club’s official streaming platform. Kick-off was at 18:00 local time.
Olise’s fury was a direct consequence of Wiesbaden’s game plan. Ex-Löwe Fabian Greilinger, now an analyst, noted the third-division side executed a compact 5-4-1 block, forcing Bayern into wide, ineffective crosses. The French winger was denied space repeatedly. One incident saw him shove a defender after a late tackle went unpunished.

International viewers can access the match on FC Bayern.tv. Domestic broadcast rights were held by Sport1. A replay is available on the club’s YouTube channel for 48 hours.
Kompany’s Tactical Setup
Kompany deployed a 4-2-3-1, with Joshua Kimmich as a deep-lying playmaker. The pressing structure was disjointed. Wiesbaden bypassed the first line of pressure 12 times in the first half. New signing João Palhinha was introduced at halftime, stabilizing the midfield.
Why Olise Was Furious
Wiesbaden targeted Olise with double-teams. He completed only 3 of 11 dribbles. Greilinger described the plan as “aggressive man-marking in the final third.” Olise’s frustration peaked in the 67th minute when he was substituted, visibly slamming a water bottle.
