Kane Hat-Trick Lifts Bayern to 4–1 at Hoffenheim as Perfect Start, Penalty Record Continue

Kane’s scoring run underscores Bayern’s reliance during Kompany’s early-season rotation.

Overview

  • Harry Kane scored three times — once from a rehearsed corner and twice from the spot — to seal the away win and reach 13 goals in seven games this season across competitions.
  • His conversion made it 17 successful Bundesliga penalties from 17, which is a league record.
  • Vincent Kompany rotated after the Chelsea victory, resting Joshua Kimmich, Michael Olise, Serge Gnabry and Dayot Upamecano before bringing them on after about an hour.
  • New signing Nicolas Jackson started alongside Kane but failed to make an impact with just 15 touches before his substitution, as Max Eberl said the on-field connection still needs time.
  • Bayern have four wins from four league matches with an 18:3 goal difference, and Eberl praised Kane’s leadership as injuries and a thin defense remain ongoing concerns.
