Dream debut in Bundesliga for Harry Kane, Matthijs de Ligt passed at Bayern Munich | Foreign football

Harry Kane had a great debut in the Bundesliga. The 30-year-old striker from London, who came over from Tottenham Hotspur for 100 million euros last week, already assisted with the opening goal after three minutes.

Kane subtly tapped the ball from midfield to the lightning-fast Leroy Sané, who could no longer be overtaken by the defenders of Werder Bremen and was able to subtly finish with the right: 0-1.

With an odds ratio of 1-11 (1-4 on goal) and no less than 76 percent possession, Bayern Munich was clearly the better party in the first half, but Werder Bremen started the new season excellently. Last season’s number thirteen had three chances in the first five minutes after the break, but failed to equalize in the atmospheric Weserstadion.

Bayern Munich then slowly took control again and that resulted in the 0-2 fifteen minutes before the end. After a dribble on the left flank of the Canadian international Alphonso Davies, the ball reached Kane, who made the decision with a shot in the short corner. Shortly afterwards, Kane had to leave the field with a minor injury. In the 90th minute, Leroy Sané made the 0-3 for Bayern, which won the eleventh league title in a row in the Bundesliga last season on goal difference (due to Borussia Dortmund’s slip on the final day). In the 94th minute, Mathys Tel, the 18-year-old talent from France who came on for Kane, made it 0-4.

Thomas Tuchel chose to start the new season in the Bundesliga without Matthijs de Ligt. The 41-time international of Orange started on the bench. The South Korean defender Kim Min-Jae, who came over from the Italian champion Napoli for 50 million euros in mid-July, was in the center of the back next to the French defender Dayot Upamecano.

24-year-old De Ligt made a moderate impression last week in his team’s lost duel with RB Leipzig (0-3) for the German Super Cup, in which Dani Olmo made a hat-trick on behalf of the German cup winner. He barely got a grip on the Spaniard, who scored three times. De Ligt was substituted at halftime with a 0-2 deficit.

De Ligt came on for Kim Min-Jae halfway through the second half, who did not make a very convincing impression in the second half. Noussair Mazraoui was allowed to remain at right back for the entire match, Ryan Gravenberch remained on the bench with the German champion.

Bayern Munich will resume the Bundesliga next Sunday (5.30 pm) with the home game against FC Augsburg, the club of captain Jeffrey Gouweleeuw. Borussia Dortmund starts the new season in the Bundesliga on Saturday evening (6.30 pm) with the home game against FC Köln, the club where Bayern won the title on goal difference on the final day last season through Dortmund’s draw against Mainz.

Xavi Simons starts Saturday (3.30 pm) with RB Leipzig with the away game at Bayer Leverkusen, where Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Jeremie Frimpong play. The Dutch left backs Mitchel Bakker (Atalanta) and Daley Sinkgraven (Las Palmas) left the team of Basque coach Xabi Alonso this summer.
