England captain hits monumental personal milestone as Bayern edge a resilient Borussia Dortmund 2-1, preserving their perfect season record.
Harry Kane cemented his legendary status by scoring his 400th career goal, propelling Bayern Munich to a hard-fought 2-1 victory over arch-rivals Borussia Dortmund in a thrilling Der Klassiker.
The England captain broke the deadlock with a classic first-half header, but the match was far from over. After a slow start, a revitalized Dortmund emerged after the break, pushing Bayern to the limit. The hosts seemed to have sealed the win when Michael Olise capitalized on a costly error from Jobe Bellingham to make it 2-0 with just 10 minutes remaining.
However, Julian Brandt immediately struck back with his first touch of the ball, setting up a nail-biting finale. Bayern’s defense ultimately held firm under intense pressure, inflicting Dortmund’s first defeat of the season and maintaining their own flawless record.
The contrasting halves were summed up by Dortmund’s disappointed goalkeeper, Gregor Kobel. “I think only half [courageous], because it was only the second half,” he told Sky Sports. “The first half was not enough… It’s unfortunate that we played the first half the way we did.”
Reflecting on the mistake that led to Bayern’s second goal, Kobel added sympathetically, “He didn’t see the guy coming. That’s all it takes sometimes. It’s a sad situation.” The win not only gives Bayern bragging rights but also marks a historic personal triumph for their star striker.
