"Harry Kane scored a superb hat-trick as Bayern Munich maintained their perfect Bundesliga start with a routine 4-1 victory over Hoffenheim at the PreZero Arena on Saturday. The visitors survived an early scare in the 14th minute when Fisnik Asllani struck the post after smartly pressing Manuel Neuer's short goal-kick, though Kane forced Oliver Baumann into a crucial save just two minutes later, hinting at what was to come."
"Muhammed Damar nearly dragged the hosts level deep into first-half stoppage time only to be denied by a heroic Kim Min Jae block. Bayern were handed a golden opportunity to double their lead less than a minute into the second half as Sacha Boey's shot from range struck Albian Hajdari's hand inside the box, and Kane made no mistake from the spot."
"Michael Olise was then dragged down inside the box by Bernardo, allowing Kane to complete his second hat-trick of the season by sending Baumann the other way in the 77th minute. Hoffenheim fought back and earned a consolation goal through Vladimir Coufal, whose wide free-kick in the 82nd minute was deflected past Neuer and into the net by Joshua Kimmich."
Harry Kane scored a hat-trick as Bayern Munich defeated Hoffenheim 4-1 at the PreZero Arena, maintaining a perfect Bundesliga start. Hoffenheim threatened early when Fisnik Asllani struck the post after pressing Manuel Neuer's short goal-kick, and Kane forced a crucial save from Oliver Baumann soon after. Seventeen-year-old Lennart Karl provided his maiden Bundesliga assist with a low corner cross to Kane. Kim Min Jae blocked a late first-half chance from Muhammed Damar. A handball on a Sacha Boey shot led to a Kane penalty, and a second spot-kick after Michael Olise was fouled completed the hat-trick. Vladimir Coufal scored a deflected consolation and Serge Gnabry added a stoppage-time goal. Bayern extended their lead to five points while Hoffenheim dropped to eighth.
