Welcome to the FC Bayern Campus Round Up, where the matches of Bayern Munich ’s U-17 and U-23 squads are recapped, line ups are provided and the highlights to each match are hyperlinked on top of their respective score lines. This week, the U-19s did not have a match but will resume their season next week. Information on the matches is provided by the official FCBayern website here .
Additionally, none of these matches can be viewed in full length without an FCBayernTV subscription. Without further ado, here is the round up: FC Schweinfurt 1-2 Bayern II (U-23) Bayern lineup: Pavlešić – Dalpiaz (46. Binder), Marušić, Scholl, Yanda - Denk, Chávez (74.
Becker) - Scholze, Della Rovere (88. Dell’Erba), Jensen - Wagner Goals: 0:1 Jensen (35.), 0:2 Binder (65.
), 1:2 Langhans (79.) Unavailable players: Vincent Manuba, Steve Breitkreuz, Javier Fernández, Younes Aitamer, Tarek Buchmann, Veis Yildiz, Benjamin Ballis, Moritz Mosandl, Kurt Rüger, Michael Scott It looks like the team remembers how to play football. Bayern traveled to league leaders 1.
FC Schweinfurt in a bid to record just their second win of 2025, having trounced Eintracht Bamberg in their previous match after going the seven previous matches without a win. It was a loss at home against Schweinfurt that kicked off the seven match winless run, so there was room for retribution here. And retribution was delivered here, on the back of a phenomenal first half performance.
Everything fit, from the pressing to the defensive organization to the chance creation, with a wonderful solo goal from Jonathan Asp Jensen giving Bayern the lead. The second half was much more even. Schweinfurt decided to go more direct and play quicker passes, with Bayern struggling to catch up.
Ultimately, enormous amount of goal scoring chances that both teams wasted for the majority of the match. That is not to say Bayern’s defense was poor, however. Center backs Paul Scholl and Gabriel Marušić, are starting to build up a rather formidable partnership after having to spend most of the season as back ups and did very well in their defensive duties, with most of the opponent’s chances coming through overloads and late runs into the box.
Goalkeeper Anthony Pavlešić particularly impressed, making many very impressive saves. Pavlešić has had a fairly poor season so far but, stepping in for usual goalkeeper Max Schmitt in the last few games, he has proven just what he can do. Julien Yanda, on the left, is improving game upon game and even delivered the assist for Tim Binder’s goal.
But it was not all great. Right back Magnus Dalpiaz struggled and had to be hooked at half time, on a yellow card and already close to being sent off. Defensive midfielder Luca Denk, as well, had a very poor match and rather struggled to provide any defensive solidity.
Felipe Chavez had to put in a lot of work to cover for him. In the attack, the star of the show was Jonathan Asp Jensen. He is becoming more and more comfortable with being the team’s star man and scored a beautiful goal as an opener.
He has to be one of the prime candidates to get some minutes under Vincent Kompany. Unfortunately, despite the victory, promotion is still just about impossible. Schweinfurt are still 10 points clear of Bayern, having played a game more, with 4 matchdays to go.
Yet again, it seems Bayern will stay in the Regionalliga. Anderlecht U-17 2-5 Bayern U-17 Full game here . Athletic Club U-17 5-3 Bayern U-17 Bayern U-17 1-0 PSG U-17 Full game here .
AFC Ajax U-17 1-0 Bayern U-17 Full game here . Over the past weekend, AFC Ajax hosted the Olympia Future Cup, providing free live streams and highlights on the club’s YouTube channel. Six U-17 teams competed to win the trophy, with the hosts’ own U-17 team coming out on top in the final against Bayern’s U-17 team.
Bayern can be proud of the team’s performance and losing to Ajax’s youth team is hardly a shame. Additionally, it provides a rare opportunity to see the U-17 live. For free.
That does not happen every day. Bayern will continue their domestic campaign next week, having already secured progression to the next round. But they will be fighting Hoffenheim’s U-17 team for 1st place and the chance to play their Round of 16 match at home rather than away.
