The United Rugby Championship opener saw Glasgow Warriors claim a hard-fought bonus-point triumph at Thomond Park after an impressive turnaround in the final half of play.
Munster held a commanding ten-point lead at the interval following two tries from Ben O'Connor and Michael Milne, with Jamie Dobie contributing to Glasgow's cause before the break.
A yellow card was issued to Warriors centre Ollie Smith for a deliberate knock-on, while JJ Hanrahan added another penalty kick to extend Munster's advantage early in the contest.
Glasgow found their rhythm after the interval, capitalising on pressure against a tiring home defence to level the score and eventually secure victory.
Nathan McBeth and George Horne each added tries for Glasgow, with Dobie completing his century by scoring twice, including one from close range.
Glasgow now host Ulster next weekend aiming for a perfect start to the campaign, whereas Munster travel to face Bulls in their next fixture.
The squad list confirmed McKay, Rowe, Smith, McDowall, Dobie, Lancaster, Horne as forwards, with Schickerling, Hiddleston, Walker, Brown, Williamson, Miller, Darge and M completing the backline for Glasgow.
Milne's try came after a spell of possession for the hosts, but Glasgow's second-half performance proved decisive in overturning the deficit.
The match concluded with Glasgow demonstrating their ability to grow in stature when required against a strong opposition.
This result marks the beginning of Glasgow's United Rugby Championship season in fine style according to official reports.
