Harry Kane Saves Bayern Munich’s Streak With Late Equaliser

Harry Kane delivered a crucial late goal to secure Bayern Munich a 2-2 draw at Union Berlin, ending Bayern’s 16-game winning run but preserving their unbeaten Bundesliga start. The England captain didn’t shy away from sharing his thoughts post-match, taking a subtle swipe at Union Berlin’s long-ball tactics after a dramatic afternoon at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei.

Harry Kane’s Late Goal Maintains Bayern Munich’s Unbeaten Run

Bayern Munich’s showdown with Union Berlin was expected to be routine, with many anticipating a tenth consecutive win in Berlin. However, the hosts surged ahead in the first half when center-back Danilho Doekhi headed home from a set-piece. Bayern responded just before halftime with a moment of magic from Luis Diaz, who curled a stunning shot into the far corner from a tight angle, levelling the score at 1-1.

Union Berlin, sitting midtable yet notoriously tough at home, retook the lead in the 83rd minute, again through Doekhi. Sensing defeat, Bayern pushed forward relentlessly, and in second-half stoppage time, Harry Kane rose to nod in a crucial equaliser. The draw means Bayern’s perfect run is over, but their unbeaten start under Vincent Kompany continues.

Kane’s Reaction: Frustration with Union Berlin’s Tactics

Speaking after the match, Kane described the clash as “a tough game,” highlighting Union Berlin’s direct style and the physical battle throughout. “We expected a battle and a lot of long balls. Many decisions and small fouls went against us today,” Kane said. “It wasn’t our best game, but we stayed focused and managed to equalise. That’s football; there are days when things don’t go your way. We’ll take the point.”

Despite the draw, Bayern remain firmly atop the Bundesliga table, now six points clear, as second-placed RB Leipzig lost to Hoffenheim earlier on Saturday. Union Berlin, meanwhile, extended their strong home record, having lost just once at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei all season.

Harry Kane Chasing Bundesliga Scoring Honors

Kane’s late equaliser was his 13th league goal this season, further cementing his position as the Bundesliga’s leading scorer. The former Tottenham striker now boasts a remarkable seven-goal lead at the top of the scoring charts and looks determined to claim a third straight Torjägerkanone, the Bundesliga’s top scorer award.

The goal also ended a brief league drought for Kane, who had gone two Bundesliga games without scoring. Prior to Saturday’s draw, Kane had found the net only twice in his last four outings—both in a DFB-Pokal victory. However, he continues to shatter records, having become the fastest player to reach 100 goals for a single club in one of Europe’s top five leagues, achieving the milestone in just 104 appearances.

What’s Next for Bayern Munich?

Bayern will be eager to return to winning ways after the international break, with Freiburg visiting the Allianz Arena next. However, a bigger test looms as Kompany’s side prepares for a Champions League showdown with Premier League leaders Arsenal. Both Bayern and Arsenal have maintained perfect records in the group stage, making their upcoming clash one of the most anticipated fixtures of the month.

Elsewhere in the Bundesliga, Bayer Leverkusen thrashed Heidenheim 6-0, while Borussia Dortmund were pegged back by Hamburg in the dying moments. Union Berlin, meanwhile, have now won just one of their last six league games, but the draw against Bayern provides encouragement as they look to climb the table.
