Jurgen Klinsmann, the former coach of the South Korean national football team (60), watched a match of Bayern Munich, the team he was part of during his playing career.

Bayern defeated Boca Juniors 2-1 in the group stage match of Group C held at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida, at 21st (Korean time).

Kim Min-jae (29, Bayern) missed two consecutive matches due to injury.

Having recorded two consecutive wins, Bayern secured 6 points, solidifying their position at the top of the group.

After crushing Oakland City (New Zealand) 10-0 in their first match, Bayern has secured a spot in the Round of 16, regardless of the results of the final match against Benfica (Portugal). This tournament features 32 teams, and the top two teams from each group advance to the Round of 16.

Bayern scored the opening goal in the 18th minute of the first half. It came from the foot of Harry Kane.

Afterwards, Bayern conceded an equalizer to Miguel Merentiel in the 21st minute of the second half, but Michael Olise scored the decisive goal in the 39th minute of the second half to secure the win.

Olise, the hero of the decisive goal, recorded his third goal of the tournament. He is now tied for the top scorer along with his 'teammates' Jamal Musiala and Angel Di Maria (Benfica).

In the same group, Benfica secured second place after defeating Oakland City 6-0 and recording 1 win and 1 draw (4 points). Boca Juniors are in third with 1 draw and 1 loss (1 point), while Oakland City sits at the bottom with 2 losses (0 points).

Klinsmann watched the game from the stands. He was caught on the broadcast screen.

Klinsmann has been engaged in broadcasting activities since he was dismissed in Korea last February.

He is regarded as one of the worst coaches in the history of South Korean football.

Klinsmann, who took charge of the South Korean national team in March 2023, was removed from his position after just one year. He was dismissed after leading Korea to a defeat by Jordan in the 2023 AFC Asian Cup, a tournament held for about a month starting in January 2024.

His tenure was marked by continuous controversies. He worked from home abroad, taking frequent holidays at critical times leading up to the Asian Cup, which drew complaints.

While working from home, he engaged in numerous video interviews with ESPN about global football issues. Despite Korea being on the brink of a significant Asian Cup, this behavior showed a lack of focus on the task.

Even amidst this, Coach Klinsmann expressed unfounded confidence, stating, "I am confident we will win the Asian Cup."

When the lid was lifted, what seemed uncertain turned out to be true.

Rather than strategizing with his coaching staff, Coach Klinsmann was busy relying on the individual abilities of the players. The cohesiveness of Klinsmann's team was significantly diminished, leading to issues. Despite boasting a 'historic lineup' with players like Son Heung-min (Tottenham), Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), and Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), Korea was thwarted in their bid for the Asian Cup final by a 0-2 defeat to Jordan. At that time, Korea's FIFA ranking was 23rd, while Jordan ranked 87th. Korea suffered the humiliation of having '0 effective shots' against a Jordan team they were expected to outperform.
