England Captain Sets New Record in Debut Season as Bayern Munich Crush Mainz 8-1
Harry Kane, the England captain, has etched his name into Bundesliga history books by achieving a remarkable feat in Bayern Munich’s emphatic 8-1 victory over Mainz. The prolific striker became the first player to score four hat-tricks in a debut season in the Bundesliga.
Kane’s remarkable performance saw him find the net after just 13 minutes, again in first-half stoppage time, and once more 20 minutes before the final whistle. These goals propelled his season tally to an impressive 30 league goals, matching the record set by Uwe Seeler for most goals in a debut campaign in Germany’s top flight.
In addition to Kane’s sensational display, Leon Goretzka contributed a brace, while Thomas Muller, Jamal Musiala, and substitute Serge Gnabry also found the back of the net for Bayern Munich. Despite Nadiem Amiri’s consolation goal for Mainz, it was a dominant performance from the Bavarian giants.
The resounding victory not only showcased Bayern’s attacking prowess but also helped them close the gap to seven points behind league leaders Bayer Leverkusen. The leaders are set to face Wolfsburg in a crucial fixture on Sunday, but Bayern’s commanding win has kept the title race alive as they continue their pursuit of the top spot in the Bundesliga.
