September 13, (THEWILL) — Bayern Munich maintained their perfect start to the Bundesliga season with a commanding 5-0 victory over Hamburg at the Allianz Arena, with Harry Kane contributing two goals to Vincent Kompany’s side. The hosts delivered a dominant performance that saw them record their third consecutive win of the campaign.
Bayern Munich took control early when Serge Gnabry opened the scoring after just three minutes, breaking into the penalty area before finding the net from a difficult angle past Hamburg goalkeeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes. Aleksandar Pavlovic doubled the advantage three minutes later, combining effectively with Kane before firing home to put the hosts firmly in command.
Bayern Munich extended their lead when Kane converted from the penalty spot in the 26th minute after Aboubaka Soumahoro was penalised for handball following a VAR review. Luis Diaz made it 4-0 before the half-hour mark when his effort took a deflection, leaving Hamburg facing an insurmountable deficit.
Bayern Munich completed the rout in the 62nd minute when Kane netted his second goal, rounding his marker before beating Fernandes to finish off a flowing team move. The England captain’s brace capped off an impressive individual display within the team’s dominant collective performance.
Bayern Munich continued to threaten throughout the encounter, with debutant Nicolas Jackson seeing a header saved and Michael Olise’s deflected strike hitting the crossbar. The comprehensive victory showed the attacking strength available to Kompany at the club this season.
