Bayern Cruise to Five-From-Five as Kane Reaches 100 and VAR Rule Faces Fresh Scrutiny

A pre-corner shove that could not be reviewed under the 'new situation' protocol sharpened focus on how VAR is applied.

Overview

  • Bayern beat Werder Bremen 4:0 through Jonathan Tah, Harry Kane (2) and Konrad Laimer to stay perfect with 15 points and a 22:3 goal difference.
  • Michael Olise’s push on Felix Agu preceded the corner for Bayern’s opener, but VAR could not intervene because the set piece constituted a new phase of play, drawing complaints from Werder’s Marco Friedl and coach Horst Steffen.
  • Harry Kane moved to 100 goals in his first 104 competitive matches for Bayern and said he is happy at the club with two years left on his contract.
  • Berlin police say FC Rot‑Weiß Erfurt supporters attacked officers during bus checks off the A115, leaving one officer seriously injured; investigations include suspected dangerous bodily harm, assault on law enforcement and severe breach of the peace.
  • Heidenheim’s 2:1 win over Augsburg was overshadowed by a home fan who fell over a fence and was hospitalized after being ‘longer unconscious,’ prompting post-match tensions that coach Frank Schmidt helped defuse as Augsburg goalkeeper Finn Dahmen later apologized for a misunderstanding.
