Arijon Ibrahimovic, another academy talent, started the second half's onslaught in the 56th minute.
Australian wonderkid Nestroy Irankunda then added two quick goals.
Sacha Boey, Mudaser Sadat, Jonathan Asp Jensen, and Noel Aseko-Nkili each found the net, sealing a comprehensive victory for Bayern Munich.
