Overview

  • Michael Olise struck twice before halftime and Luis Díaz marked his Bundesliga debut with a thunderous finish off the crossbar before assisting two of Kane’s goals.
  • Kane completed his treble between the 64th and 78th minutes to cap a dominant display at the Allianz Arena.
  • Leipzig had an Antonio Nusa goal ruled out after VAR found Castello Lukeba had taken a free kick with the ball still rolling in the buildup.
  • With Jamal Musiala sidelined, Olise operated in a central role and drove much of Bayern’s attacking play.
  • New Leipzig coach Ole Werner began his tenure with a heavy defeat after the club’s seventh-place finish last season.
