Kane's Historic Night Fuels Bayern Victory
Bayern Munich went clear at the top of the Bundesliga on Friday with a comfortable 3-0 win over Augsburg, thanks to a sensational Harry Kane hat trick which made history as the fastest player to reach 50 Bundesliga goals, as Kane clinched it in 43 games, beating Erling Haaland record, achieving this milestone in only 50 games.
Slow Start but Dominating Force at the End
Not even dominating possession early was able to pay off for Bayern because Augsburg goalkeeper Nediljko Labrovic faced almost no threat, as Bayern's attempts, including Leon Goretzka's header that grazed the crossbar, failed to find the net.
Breaking Through After the Break
The game had turned in the second half when Bayern was awarded a penalty after a lengthy VAR review ruled that Mads Pedersen had committed a handball. Calmly, Kane slotted the ball into the net on the 63rd minute, opening the scoring.
Brilliance in Stoppage Time
In injury time, Kane scored two more. After another VAR decision, Augsburg's Keven Schlotterbeck was sent off for tripping Kane inside the box. Kane netted the penalty, sending Labrovic the wrong way. A minute later, he scored a third, controlling Goretzka's long ball by skill before heading past the goalkeeper. He completed his fourth hat-trick of the season.
A Journey and a Record
There has never been a player in the history of the Bundesliga as quick to reach 50 goals. To this list, he adds Bayern Munich legends like Gerd Muller and Robert Lewandowski. And in addition, Kane's goal break down: 10 penalties, 32 with his right foot, nine with his left, and nine headers.
A Star in Bayern's Galaxy
Harry Kane’s move to Bayern Munich was met with high expectations, and he continues to deliver at an extraordinary pace. His impact highlights his exceptional adaptability and dominance in Europe’s top leagues. For Bayern, Kane’s performances cement their position as Bundesliga giants and offer hope for further triumphs.
