Harry Kane's Record-Breaking Night Helps Bayern Edge Past Holstein Kiel 4-3
Bayern Munich held off a late Holstein Kiel comeback to win 4-3 at the Allianz Arena, with Harry Kane making history in the Bundesliga.
Kane’s Record-Breaking Performance
Harry Kane’s brace took him to 55 goals in 50 Bundesliga games, making him the fastest player in league history to reach that mark. The English striker’s consistency has been key for Bayern as they push for another league title.
Match Recap
19’ - Musiala scores: A precise finish from the young German gave Bayern an early lead.
45+3’ - Kane’s header: Kingsley Coman’s cross found Kane, who made it 2-0 before halftime.
46’ - Kane’s second: A quick start to the second half saw Kane fire home his second of the night.
54’ - Gnabry makes it four: A stunning volley put Bayern in cruise control.
62’ - Porath responds: Kiel refused to give up and pulled one back.
90+1’ & 90+2’ - Skrzybski’s brace: A dramatic stoppage-time double almost saw Kiel complete a sensational comeback.
Defensive Concerns for Bayern
Despite Kane’s heroics, Bayern’s defense was shaky in the final moments. Allowing three goals in the last half-hour raises questions about their ability to close out games.
Reactions
Kane: "It’s always great to score, but we need to be more solid defensively. We made it harder for ourselves."
Kompany "We controlled the game for 80 minutes but nearly lost focus. That’s something we must fix."
Bayern remains nine points clear at the top, while Kiel stays in the relegation zone despite their valiant effort.

Bayern Munich’s Late-Game Woes Continue Despite Victory Over Holstein Kiel
Bayern Munich may have won 4-3 against Holstein Kiel, but the match exposed a worrying trend: their inability to see out games comfortably.
Defensive Lapses Becoming a Habit?
This isn't the first time Bayern has struggled to maintain a lead. Against Leipzig last week, they conceded a late goal in a 2-1 win, and earlier in January, they let a two-goal lead slip against Freiburg.
Kompany Under Pressure?
Although Bayern is leading the Bundesliga, their defensive vulnerabilities could hurt them in the Champions League. With big European matches coming up, Vincent Kompany must address these issues.
Next Steps
Bayern faces a crucial test next weekend against Dortmund. Will they fix their defensive problems before then?
