Kane's Four-Goal Record-Breaker in Bayern’s 9-2 Champions League Rout
Harry Kane delivered an extraordinary performance for Bayern Munich, netting four goals in their 9-2 demolition of Dinamo Zagreb in the UEFA Champions League. This dominant display at the Allianz Arena was not just another win for Bayern—it marked a historic moment for Kane, who became England's top scorer in European competition, surpassing Wayne Rooney's record with 33 goals.
Kane opened the floodgates in the 19th minute with a penalty after Aleksandar Pavlovic fouled him in the box, coolly sending Dinamo’s goalkeeper Ivan Nevistić the wrong way. Bayern, who were already in control, extended their lead further with a thunderous half-volley from Raphaël Guerreiro and a well-timed header from Michael Olise, making his debut in the competition. By halftime, Bayern were cruising with a 3-0 lead.

However, early in the second half, Dinamo Zagreb mounted a brief comeback. Substitute goalkeeper Sven Ulreich, replacing the injured Manuel Neuer, was beaten twice within five minutes by Bruno Petković and Takuya Ogiwara, narrowing the score to 3-2. But Bayern quickly regained their composure, and Kane was at the heart of it. After a shot from Joshua Kimmich was parried, Kane pounced on the rebound to restore Bayern’s comfortable lead. He later completed a hat-trick of penalties, making history along the way.
Bayern continued to assert their dominance as Olise slotted home his second goal, Leroy Sané fired in a long-range strike, and Leon Goretzka capped off the match with a powerful header in added time. Despite three disallowed goals for offside, Bayern’s nine-goal spree matched one of the highest-scoring games in Champions League history.
Kane's incredible haul means he has now scored 53 goals in just 50 appearances for Bayern, a remarkable achievement that underlines his importance to the team. Moreover, his nine goals in five games this season continue to demonstrate his form under manager Vincent Kompany. The win also solidified Bayern's place at the top of their group, while Thomas Müller, with his 152nd Champions League appearance, set a new record for the most appearances by a player for a single club in the competition.
This match will be remembered not only for the sheer volume of goals but also for the milestones achieved. For Bayern and their fans, Kane's record-breaking performance and the team's blistering form are setting high expectations for the rest of the season.
