Kane's Record and Olise's Hat-Trick: Bayern Munich Crushes Union Berlin 7-0 for Temporary League Lead
Bayern Munich, usually the pursuer, showed no mercy in their latest match. Led by a record-breaking Harry Kane and a stellar performance from Nabil Olise, the team managed by Kompany decisively defeated Union Berlin 7-0. This victory in the early fixture of the 4th Bundesliga matchday propelled Bayern to the top of the league table with 10 points, one ahead of Freiburg and Borussia Dortmund.
The scoring at the Allianz Arena in Munich began with Musiala in the 18th minute, who struck a venomous shot from the edge of the area to open the account. Kane found the net in the 39th minute, converting a penalty awarded for a foul on Olise. Olise then scored the third goal just before halftime, marking the beginning of his personal scoring spree.
Following Kane's second goal in the 54th minute and another from Saibari in the 70th, Olise completed his hat-trick with two more goals in the 73rd and 76th minutes. The match concluded with a 7-0 win for the home team, marking Union Berlin's third consecutive loss. They remain on the single point earned from their season opener against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Kane's Milestone: Second Only to Cristiano Ronaldo in Top European Leagues
Harry Kane was the undisputed hero of the evening for Bayern Munich. His brace in this match brought his Bundesliga goal tally to 101 in just 98 appearances, surpassing the previous record held by Dieter Müller, who took 129 games to reach the same milestone in the 1970s. Across the top five European leagues, only Cristiano Ronaldo has reached 100 goals faster, achieving it in 92 games for Real Madrid in La Liga in the early 2010s.
Kane, who joined Bayern in the summer of 2023, has been the Bundesliga top scorer in each of his three seasons. He scored 36 goals in the 2023-2024 season, 26 in 2024-2025, and another 36 in 2025-2026. He has also won the European Golden Shoe twice, in the summers of 2024 and 2026. Across all competitions for Bayern, Kane has scored a total of 154 goals in 152 appearances over just over three seasons.
