Maicon Cardoso Shines in Bayern Munich’s Pre-Season Victory
Thai-raised prospect Maicon Cardoso played a pivotal role in Bayern Munich’s 15-0 friendly win against Rottach-Egern.
On July 30, 2026, Bayern Munich continued their tradition of pre-season friendly matches against local Bavarian amateur side Rottach-Egern, securing a dominant 15-0 victory. The match featured a mix of senior and youth squad players, including Maicon Cardoso, a young Brazilian talent who grew up in Thailand.
Cardoso, who played the full 90 minutes, delivered an impressive performance by contributing two goals and two assists. He scored in the 45+3rd minute to extend the lead to 6-0 and added another in the 50th minute to make it 7-0. Additionally, he provided an assist for Arijon Ibrahimović. According to Khaosod Online Thailand, this match follows a history of lopsided results between the two clubs, with Bayern having outscored the amateur side 64-1 in their previous three pre-season meetings.
For residents and football enthusiasts in Thailand, Cardoso’s development within a top-tier European club like Bayern Munich is a point of interest, as he represents a player with strong ties to the Thai football landscape. While this performance highlights his potential, it remains to be seen how he will integrate into the senior squad for the upcoming 2026-27 season. Further updates on his progression and potential competitive appearances will be confirmed as the season officially commences.
