Bayern Munich's Club World Cup group game against Auckland City was a mismatch on the pitch - so why were the part-timers from New Zealand facing the 34-time German champions?

Bayern Munich vs Auckland City LIVEThe newly-crowned Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich embark upon their Club World Cup campaign this afternoon, facing Auckland City at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati. Their latest title-winning season wrought a 34th Meisterschale as they finished 13 points clear of Leverkusen.

As the Club World Cup continues, Bayern Munich will face amateur side Auckland City FC on Sunday. There may not be a bigger gap that will happen in the entire CWC than the German Champions facing the OFC champions.
