For the first time, Harry Kane awarded a penalty in a competitive game for FC Bayern. The English striker failed in the first round of the DFB Cup in the 76th minute at 2: 2 to Florian Stritzel in the goal of SV Wehen Wiesbaden. In the first half, Kane had transformed a penalty, it was the 31st successful penalty in a competitive game.

“I saw the statistics one time or another, we analyzed it,” said Stritzel on ZDF: “You have to throw everything in there, we trained it during the week.” Wiesbaden’s double packer Fatih Kaya praised Stritzel’s performance as an “absolute world class.”

Harry Kane also found words of praise after the final whistle: “He kept it very well,” he said at the Sky microphone. Most recently, he had shot a penalty against France in the 2022 World Cup. For Bayern, on the other hand, he has so far sank every penalty in a competitive game. The series now tore against Wiesbaden. “At some point it had to happen. Today it was ready,” said Kane. Already in preparation against Tottenham Hotspur (4-0) Kane had failed from the point.
