Socceroos sensation Nestory Irankunda has scored his first goal for Bayern Munich in a 14-1 pre-season friendly thrashing of FC Rottach-Egern.
The 18-year-old former Adelaide United star, who moved to the Bundesliga giants last month, also provided two assists after entering the game at the start of the second-half with his team leading 7-1.
Irankunda's goal came in the 61st minute, and he also hit the post soon after with a bicycle kick.
Also coming on at the start of the second half for Bayern was 18-year-old Australian goalkeeper Anthony Pavlesic.
Bayern manager Vincent Kompany said he was pleased with the performance, which came at the end of a three-day training camp in the Bavarian Alps.
'We've implemented everything we intended in the last few days, and also got a look at the young players,' Kompany said.
'We're pleased with the game today. The boys fought for every ball and always tried to be positive.

'We're still missing a number of players. Hopefully we'll get everybody back fit over the coming weeks.
'It's important that we're fit for the Cup match (on August 17 against Ulm) and then the start of the Bundesliga (on August 25 against Wolfsburg).
Bayern's pre-season campaign continues on Sunday against German fourth division club Duren, before two games against Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham Hotspur on August 3 and August 11 in Seoul and London respectively.
