Bayern Munich delivered a dominant performance to secure a 3-0 victory over Werder Bremen in the Matchday 21 curtain-raiser.
Harry Kane stole the show, scoring twice from the penalty spot, while Leroy Sané added another to wrap up the win.
Bremen Frustrates Bayern in the First Half
The match began with Bayern controlling possession, but Werder Bremen held firm. Stand-in coach Patrick Kohlmann organized his side well in the absence of Ole Werner. The visitors defended deep, limiting Bayern’s attacking options.
Despite Bayern’s dominance, clear-cut chances were few. Michael Zetterer had a quiet first half in Bremen’s goal, only needing to react to a Harry Kane header just before halftime.
Bremen suffered a setback when Jens Stage had to be replaced by Skelly Alvero due to injury in the 43rd minute.
Kane Breaks the Deadlock
Bayern started the second half with more urgency. Kane rattled the crossbar in the 46th minute, signaling their intent.
The breakthrough finally arrived in the 56th minute when Anthony Jung handled the ball inside the box.
The referee pointed to the spot, and Kane calmly sent Zetterer the wrong way.
Bayern gained momentum after the goal. Their attacking play improved, with Bremen struggling to keep up. The visitors, who had defended well in the first half, started losing shape under Bayern’s relentless pressure.
Sané Doubles Bayern’s Lead
As the game entered the final 10 minutes, Bayern’s substitutes made an impact. Sané and Leon Goretzka came on in the 81st minute and wasted no time in making a difference.
Sané found the net within moments of coming on. A brilliant passing move involving Jamal Musiala and Konrad Laimer created the chance, and the winger slotted the ball home with precision. The goal crushed Bremen’s hopes of a comeback.
Kane Completes His Brace
Bayern did not stop pressing. In the dying minutes, Musiala danced through Bremen’s defense, drawing a foul inside the box.
The referee awarded another penalty. Kane stepped up again and fired it into the net, sealing his brace and confirming Bayern’s dominance.
Bremen’s new signing, André Silva, who came on in the 52nd minute, struggled to make an impact. Bayern’s defense remained solid, preventing Bremen from creating meaningful chances.
Player of the Match: Harry Kane
Kane was Bayern’s standout performer. The England captain led the attack with authority, scoring twice and constantly testing Bremen’s defense.
He had seven shots on target out of Bayern’s 21 total attempts. His presence in the box was a constant threat, and his finishing was clinical.
Musiala also played a crucial role, setting up key moments, while Joshua Kimmich controlled the midfield with precision.
