Kane nets brace on home league debut as Bayern stroll to win
Bundesliga transfer record On Sunday, Harry Kane scored twice in his debut league outing in front of a home crowd to help champions Bayern Munich beat Augsburg 3-1 and make it two victories in two games.
Kane, who joined for a league record €100 million ($108 million) from Tottenham Hotspur and also scored in last week’s 4-0 triumph at Werder Bremen, opened the scoring with a penalty in the 40th minute before adding their third goal in the 69th.
Bayern pressed their opponents from the outset, but chances were few and far between until Augsburg’s Felix Uduokhai diverted a save by his own keeper onto the post and over the line in the 32nd minute for an own goal.
The Bavarians increased their lead with Kane’s well-struck penalty, which was awarded for an Augsburg had ball, and piled on the pressure after the interval, hitting the crossbar with Leroy Sane.
The England captain then finished off a fast passing play with a beautiful finish, bringing his league tally to three goals and putting the game to bed. Augsburg did narrow the gap in the 86th minute when they caught Bayern off guard and Dion Beljo rounded keeper Sven Ulreich.
