Kane continues to shine for Bayern

Harry Kane’s scoring touch again carried Bayern Munich through a difficult opening. The England captain struck twice as Bayern recovered from an early deficit to defeat second-tier Osnabrück 4-1 away in the German Cup.

Robin Meißner stunned the home supporters after only five minutes with a fine shot from outside the penalty area. Bayern, 21-time German Cup champions, quickly restored parity when Kane reacted to a rebound.

Tom Bischof put Bayern ahead six minutes later with a goal from a similar situation. Michael Olise added a third in the 73rd minute, and Kane completed the victory from the penalty spot with four minutes remaining.

“

It was not easy playing away with such a great atmosphere. They started the match with an incredible goal and we had to stay calm to come back.

Every player played their part, which made it easier for the attack to score goals.”

Kane has scored 148 goals in 150 appearances for Bayern in all competitions since joining the German giant from his boyhood club, Tottenham Hotspur, in 2023. Bayern last exited the German Cup in the first round in 1994. Borussia Dortmund also advanced on Tuesday, beating fifth-tier amateur club HEBC 5-0 in Hamburg.
