43

Bayern Munich kicked off their Champions League journey with a spectacular 9-2 win against Dinamo Zagreb at the Allianz Arena. This match not only displayed Bayern’s offensive strength but also highlighted Harry Kane’s superb form as he scored four times.

Early Dominance and Kane’s Impact

The game started with Bayern Munich asserting their dominance. Harry Kane quickly made his mark by converting a penalty in the 18th minute following a foul in the penalty area. Soon after, Raphaël Guerreiro expanded the lead with a brilliant half-volley that found the top corner, making it 2-0 by the 32nd minute. Just before the break, Michael Olise headed in a precise cross, further solidifying Bayern’s lead.

Dinamo Zagreb’s Brief Comeback

Despite Bayern’s early dominance, Dinamo Zagreb managed a brief comeback early in the second half. Bruno Petkovic and Takuya Ogiwara scored, narrowing the gap to 3-2. However, their resurgence was short-lived as Bayern quickly took back control.

Kane’s Hat-Trick and Bayern’s Onslaught

Harry Kane completed his hat-trick with two more penalties in the 57th and 73rd minutes. Michael Olise added his second goal of the night shortly after Kane’s first penalty in the second half. The scoring continued with Leroy Sané and Leon Goretzka adding their names to the scoresheet towards the end of the match. Sané’s powerful strike and Goretzka’s header in stoppage time capped off the emphatic victory.

Vincent Kompany’s Praise for the Team

Vincent Kompany, Bayern’s new head coach, praised his team’s performance, especially Kane’s, stating, “Harry was outstanding tonight. His finishing was clinical, and he led the line brilliantly.” This victory not only sets a strong tone for Bayern’s campaign but also sends a clear message to their rivals about their intentions to reclaim European glory.
