Jamal Musiala struck early, scoring after just 15 seconds, to set the tone for Bayern Munich’s commanding 6-1 victory over newly promoted Holstein Kiel on Saturday. The swift goal marked the club’s third-fastest in Bundesliga history and showcased Musiala’s keen eye for capitalizing on defensive lapses.
Harry Kane continued his prolific form, netting a hat-trick that contributed significantly to Bayern’s offensive onslaught. Kane’s first goal came in the 13th minute with a precise finish, followed closely by an own goal from Kiel’s Nicolai Remberg, putting Bayern ahead 3-0 in just over a quarter of an hour.
Just before halftime, Kane doubled his tally, ensuring a comfortable lead at the break. In the 65th minute, Michael Olise scored his debut goal for Bayern, pouncing on a rebound to extend the lead further. Olise, who recently transferred from Crystal Palace, made an immediate impact at his new club.
Holstein Kiel managed to find the net in the 82nd minute through Armin Gigovic, offering a brief respite in an otherwise challenging match. Kiel, still seeking their first league points since promotion, struggled to contain Bayern’s relentless attack.
Kane completed his hat-trick in stoppage time via a penalty, calmly converting after being fouled by Carl Johansson. This goal marked Kane’s 40th Bundesliga goal in just 35 appearances since joining Bayern last year, underscoring his vital role in the team’s success.
Under the leadership of new coach Vincent Kompany, Bayern Munich has enjoyed a perfect start to the season, securing four consecutive wins across all competitions, including three in the Bundesliga and one in the DFB-Pokal. Kompany’s influence has been evident in the team’s cohesive and dynamic performances.
Looking ahead, Bayern will host Croatia’s Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday in the UEFA Champions League, marking Kompany’s debut as a coach in Europe’s premier club competition. The Bavarians will aim to maintain their momentum on the continental stage.
