Overview
- Harry Kane scored before halftime and added two second‑half penalties, with spot kicks awarded for a handball on Albian Hajdari and a foul on Michael Olise.
- Bayern recorded their seventh win in seven matches across competitions and lead the Bundesliga with 12 points.
- Vincent Kompany made five changes to the XI, handing first Bundesliga starts to 17-year-old Lennart Karl and to loanee Nicolas Jackson.
- Karl’s low corner created Kane’s opener after Hoffenheim had gone close, including Fisnik Asllani hitting the post following a Manuel Neuer giveaway.
- Vladimir Coufal pulled one back via a free kick deflecting off Joshua Kimmich before Serge Gnabry struck late, with injuries such as Josip Stanišić’s medial ligament tear still restricting Bayern’s defensive choices.
