Kane's Late Equaliser Preserves Bayern's Unbeaten Start as 16-Game Win Streak Ends

Set-piece lapses exposed Bayern's fatigue, with the leaders still six points clear.

Overview

  • Bayern drew 2-2 at Union Berlin as Harry Kane headed a stoppage-time leveller after Danilho Doekhi scored twice and Luis Díaz netted a spectacular first-half equaliser.
  • Manuel Neuer accepted blame for the opener, calling his decision a mistake and highlighting Bayern's struggles defending set pieces.
  • Kane acknowledged his role in Union’s second goal and later criticised the hosts’ direct approach, while also praising Díaz’s “really special” strike.
  • Despite the draw, Bayern maintained a six-point lead at the top after RB Leipzig lost 3-1 at Hoffenheim, keeping their unbeaten season intact even as the winning run ended at 16.
  • Borussia Dortmund missed a chance to close the gap, leading at Hamburg through Carney Chukwuemeka before Ransford Königsdörffer headed a 97th-minute equaliser, prompting criticism over late-game passivity.
