Kane Nets Hat-Trick for Bayern as Leaders
Harry Kane scored a hat-trick for Bayern Munich in their 3-0 win over Augsburg on Friday. He scored two goals during stoppage time in the second half. With this victory, Bayern increased their lead in the Bundesliga to eight points. They have a perfect record so far, with 29 points from 11 matches. Bayern is set to face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League next week and has not conceded in five league games.
Kane has now scored 14 goals in the Bundesliga this season. His hat-trick also marked his 50th league goal for Bayern, making him the fastest player to reach that milestone in Bundesliga history, achieving it in just 43 matches. “We knew we had to keep pushing after halftime and create chances,” Kane said. “Thankfully, we got the penalty that opened up the game. Now we’ve got a big week ahead with PSG, Dortmund, and Leverkusen coming up, so we need to keep this momentum going.”
Augsburg’s goalkeeper, Nediljko Labrovic, stood out in the first half with important saves against Kane and his teammates. However, Bayern broke the deadlock in the 63rd minute when Kane converted a penalty. Augsburg’s Keven Schlotterbeck was sent off in stoppage time after tripping Kane, leading to another penalty. Kane scored again before completing his hat-trick with a header shortly after.
In other news, PSG won 3-0 against Toulouse in Ligue 1. João Neves scored first with a volley in the 35th minute. Lucas Beraldo and Vitinha added goals in the second half to secure the win. PSG is at the top of the French league with 32 points, six points ahead of second-placed Monaco. Monaco defeated Brest 3-2, with Maghnes Akliouche scoring twice.
Both Bayern and PSG are in good form as they prepare to meet in the Champions League on Tuesday. The matchup is highly anticipated by fans.
