Kane scores four as Bayern Munich thrash Dinamo Zagreb 9-2

Bayern Munich kicked off their UEFA Champions League campaign with a resounding 9-2 victory over Dinamo Zagreb at the Allianz Arena. Harry Kane scored four goals in a single match for the first time since joining the German club, continuing their perfect start to the season.

The home side dominated from the outset, with Serge Gnabry opening the scoring after 19 minutes. Kane converted a penalty shortly after, followed by goals from Raphael Guerreiro and Michael Olise before half-time. However, Dinamo Zagreb mounted a brief comeback early in the second half, scoring twice in quick succession through Bruno Petkovic and Takuya Ogiwara.

Bayern quickly regained control, with Kane netting two more penalties and Michael Olise adding his second of the night. Substitutes Leroy Sane and Leon Goretzka rounded off the scoring, bringing the final tally to nine goals for the hosts. The result extends Bayern’s impressive European home record, with only one defeat in their last 26 matches at the Allianz Arena.

Although Neuer was forced off at half-time due to injury, this setback did not hinder Bayern’s performance. Vincent Kompany’s side displayed their attacking talents throughout the match, with standout performances from Kane, Olise, and Jamal Musiala, who provided an assist.
