Kane reaches 100 Bundesliga goals in 98 matches as Bayern routs Union 7-0

Bayern Munich defeated Union Berlin 7-0 at the Allianz Arena on September 18, 2026, in Bundesliga Matchday 4, delivering a dominant attacking performance that left the defending champions temporarily atop the standings with 10 points.

The match marked a historic milestone for Harry Kane, who became the fastest player to reach 100 Bundesliga goals, achieving the mark in just 98 appearances. Kane scored twice—first via penalty conversion in the 39th minute to reach the century mark, then via header in the 54th minute. Jamal Musiala opened the scoring in the 18th minute with a low shot from the edge of the box after a Davies cutback. Michael Olise contributed a hat-trick, scoring in the 43rd minute (curled finish from outside the box), 73rd minute (rounded goalkeeper after a Bischof through-ball), and 76th minute (curled effort to complete the treble). Ismael Saibari, appearing as a substitute in the 63rd minute, marked his Bayern debut with a goal in the 70th minute, driving forward from 35 metres and beating goalkeeper Frederik Rønnow to make it 5-0.

Union Berlin, managed by Mauro Lustrinelli and captained by Christopher Trimmel (replacing the ill Josip Juranovic), kept Bayern at bay during the opening 15 minutes before conceding. The visitors remained without a victory after four matches, sitting in the relegation playoff position. Bayern's second-half dominance saw goalkeeper Manuel Neuer make several saves as the hosts maintained control throughout.

Kane stated after the match: "Top performance on the highest level from start to finish. To reach 101 Bundesliga goals makes me proud." European media outlets highlighted the performance, with Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport noting "Bayern Munich plays a different game," while French publication L'Équipe and Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo praised the Bavarian side's convincing display. English media emphasized Kane's record achievement, with several outlets highlighting his status as a Bayern legend and England captain.

Bayern will travel to Augsburg after the international break, while Union Berlin will host newly promoted Elversberg on October 10.
