Kane Hat-Trick Lifts Bayern to 4–1 at Hoffenheim, Seals Record Bundesliga Start

Heavy rotation after Chelsea highlighted Kompany's trust in the squad.

Overview

  • Bayern opened with four wins and a league‑record 18 goals across the first four matches, conceding only three.
  • A second goal came from a penalty for handball on Albian Hajdari that drew controversy as referee Robert Hartmann awarded it without a VAR review.
  • Vincent Kompany changed five starters, with 17‑year‑old Lennart Karl making his first Bundesliga start and supplying the corner for the opener.
  • Min‑jae Kim was substituted in the 69th minute with a knock, creating a fresh fitness question for a defense already missing long‑term absentees.
  • Loan forward Nicolas Jackson struggled to influence his first Bayern start as his agent suggested a possible €65 million permanent move if he impresses this season.
