BERLIN – Top Bayern Munich signing Harry Kane made his Bundesliga debut with a goal and an assist as the Bavarians started their title defence with a 4-0 win at Werder Bremen on Friday, reported dpa news agency.
The England captain had already made his debut for Bayern in the 3-0 Super Cup defeat to RB Leipzig last week as a substitute. Against Bremen, Kane was in the starting line-up and provided the assist for Leroy Sané’s opener in the fourth minute.
The forward was denied by Jiri Pavlenka in the 61st, but the keeper couldn’t do anything when Kane was found by Alphonso Davies completely unmarked and fired the ball into the net in the 74th.
Sané got a brace with a first-time finish in the 90th and Mathys Tel completed the scoring with a stunner in stoppage time.
Kane went down with what looked like cramp in the 82nd. He came back to the pitch, but was subbed off shortly after.
Bremen had a goal disallowed in the eight minute, but could not find their way back into the net in a game dominated by Bayern.
The first Bundesliga matchday continues on Saturday, when runners-up Borussia Dortmund welcome Cologne and German Cup winners RB Leipzig visit Bayer Leverkusen. – Bernama
