Harry Kane played a pivotal role in Bayern Munich’s comeback 3-2 victory against Wolfsburg on Sunday, marking a successful debut for new manager Vincent Kompany in the Bundesliga.
Jamal Musiala opened the scoring for Bayern in the 19th minute, but Wolfsburg quickly turned the tide with two goals from Lovro Majer early in the second half. Bayern looked shaky, with Ralph Hasenhuettl’s team capitalizing on multiple defensive lapses.
A Kane header in the 65th minute forced Wolfsburg’s Jakub Kaminski into an own goal, leveling the score. The England captain then set up Bayern’s third goal with a precise pass to Serge Gnabry, who netted the winner in the 82nd minute.
“It’s not perfect yet,” Kane told Bayern TV post-match, acknowledging that the team “got punished a little” in the second half. He added, “We’re still implementing some of the coach’s ideas, but I’m happy we have a good week to work on them.”
Bayern midfielder Joshua Kimmich echoed these sentiments on DAZN, admitting, “We lost control of the game due to many mistakes,” but praised the team’s response after going 2-1 down.
Kane, starting his first match since the Euro 2024 final in Berlin, assisted the opening goal by finding Sacha Boey on the right flank. Boey skillfully dribbled past two defenders and set up Musiala, who tapped in to put Bayern ahead.
Wolfsburg could have conceded a penalty 10 minutes later, but instead, Kane received a yellow card for dissent. Wolfsburg then came alive in the second half, with Boey fouling Tiago Tomas in the box just after the break. Majer calmly converted the penalty and scored again five minutes later to give Wolfsburg the lead.
Kane played a crucial role in Bayern’s comeback, directing a Joshua Kimmich cross that led to Kaminski’s own goal. He then set up the decisive strike by Gnabry, ensuring Bayern Munich left with all three points.
Wolfsburg has not beaten Bayern since 2015, extending their winless streak to 21 matches.
