Harry Kane Leads Bayern Munich to Dominant Victory Over Bayer Leverkusen
Posted on March 12, 2025
Bayern Munich secured their place in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals with a comfortable 2-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen, concluding the tie with a 5-0 aggregate score. The standout performer of the night was Harry Kane, who made history by scoring his 10th goal of the season in the competition, becoming the first English player to reach double figures in a single edition of the Champions League.
The match saw Bayern taking control early, with Michael Olise and Kingsley Coman coming close to scoring. However, it was Kane who broke the deadlock in the 52nd minute, capitalizing on a defensive error from Leverkusen's Patrik Schick following a Joshua Kimmich free-kick. With the absence of key player Florian Wirtz for Leverkusen due to injury proving detrimental, the home side struggled to create meaningful chances throughout the match.
Bayern extended their lead in the 71st minute when Kane provided an assist for Alphonso Davies, who scored from close range. Despite several near misses, including a shot hitting the crossbar from Kane himself, Bayern's two-goal advantage was sufficient to see them through. This victory not only marks a significant step for Bayern in their Champions League campaign but also underscores Kane's influential role, as he has been directly involved in 24 goals in 23 appearances for the club in the competition. With this win, Bayern looks poised to challenge for their first Champions League title since the 2019-20 season.
