In an impressive display, Bundesliga’s biggest signing, Harry Kane, delivered a stellar performance in front of his home crowd for the first time, leading reigning champions Bayern Munich to a resounding 3-1 victory over Augsburg. With this win, Bayern make it two wins out of two matches this season.
Kane, who joined Bayern from Tottenham Hotspur for a record-breaking fee of €100 million ($108m), continued to showcase his abilities by finding the back of the net twice in this match. The English striker opened the scoring with a well-taken penalty in the 40th minute, and later sealed the victory with another goal in the 69th minute.
Bayern dominated the game from the start, although scoring opportunities were scarce until Augsburg’s Felix Uduokhai unintentionally deflected a save by his own goalkeeper onto the post and into the net, resulting in an own goal in the 32nd minute. With a comfortable lead, Bayern further extended their advantage with Kane’s penalty, which was awarded due to an Augsburg handball. They continued to apply pressure after the halftime break, narrowly hitting the woodwork with a shot from Leroy Sane.
Kane’s third goal of the Bundesliga season came from a swift passing sequence, elegantly executed by his teammates. This goal showcased the quick and precise style of play that Bayern Munich is renowned for. Augsburg managed to reduce the deficit in the 86th minute when they capitalized on a moment of defensive carelessness from Bayern and Dion Beljo capitalized on the opportunity.
With this result, Bayern Munich hold a strong position in the league standings, accumulating six points, matching the totals of Union Berlin, Bayer Leverkusen, VfL Wolfsburg, and Freiburg.
