FC Bayern celebrated a largely confident victory against BVB. One offensive star in particular stands out once again.
At the final whistle, Harry Kane proudly raised his fists into the Munich night sky, then Joshua Kimmich jumped into the arms of Bayern’s outstanding goalscorer: Led by the once again extremely industrious Englishman, the German record champions underlined their supremacy in the Bundesliga and defeated supposed pursuers Borussia Dortmund with a deserved 2-1 (1-0). suspended.
Kane in particular excelled. The 32-year-old scored the 1-0 (22nd) himself, started the 2-0 through Michael Olise (79th) with a dream pass and, after Julian Brandt’s goal (84th), used his last strength to fight for the equalizer. “Harry is everywhere on the pitch and isn’t above taking a tackle. Maybe he’s a little younger after all,” said Konrad Laimer on Sky.
Especially before the break, Bayern were clearly superior and deservedly extended their impressive winning streak. Thanks to the seventh success in the seventh league game, the record champions are still five points ahead of their new rivals RB Leipzig and seven ahead of BVB. “We were even better in the second half, but that wasn’t enough for 90 minutes,” said BVB captain Nico Schlotterbeck.
You can read which grade Kane received for his once again strong performance and which Bayern star was rather disappointing despite the victory in the individual review here or in the photo show above.
Bayern coach Vincent Kompany celebrated his first win in the classic at the third attempt after two draws in the previous season. For a long time, BVB appeared far too harmless to get another draw and were happy that Bayern lacked the final consequence in the end. “The first half was really weak,” said national player Pascal Groß and said about the table situation: “You don’t get the feeling that Bayern are leaving much behind.”
