In a Bundesliga season opener that showcased star power and thrilling football, reigning champions Bayern Munich kicked off their campaign with a dominant 4-0 victory over Werder Bremen at the Weserstadion. Harry Kane, making his Bundesliga debut after a high-profile transfer, stole the spotlight with a goal and an assist.
The highly anticipated match saw Bayern’s new €100 million acquisition, Kane, make an instant impact. Manager Thomas Tuchel included Kane in the starting lineup, and it took just four minutes for the England captain to make his presence felt. Kane delivered a perfectly-timed through ball to Leroy Sané, who calmly slotted the ball past Jiří Pavlenka to open the scoring.
Despite some early excitement, Werder Bremen’s Niclas Füllkrug thought he had leveled the score with a headed goal from Marvin Ducksch’s free-kick. However, the effort was ruled out for offside, leaving the hosts frustrated. Bayern Munich continued to press forward, with Jamal Musiala, Noussair Mazraoui, and Leon Goretzka all coming close to extending the lead before halftime.
As the second half got underway, Werder Bremen sought a comeback. Leonardo Bittencourt came close to equalizing with a sliding effort from Füllkrug’s cross, but the ball narrowly missed the target. Füllkrug led the charge for the hosts, injecting energy into their play.
Harry Kane remained a central figure in the action, creating opportunities for Bayern. He unleashed a powerful strike from the edge of the box, only to be denied by a spectacular one-handed save from Pavlenka. The match continued at a frenetic pace, with both teams pushing for goals.
With the match hanging in the balance, Kane once again showcased his class. Alphonso Davies set up Kane for a deflected strike that found the back of the net, extending Bayern’s lead and solidifying their control of the game.
Kane’s remarkable Bundesliga debut came to an end in the 84th minute when he was substituted as part of a triple change by Tuchel. Despite his departure, Bayern Munich maintained their momentum. In stoppage time, goals from Sané and Mathys Tel added further gloss to the scoreline, sealing a convincing victory for the reigning champions.
The win marked Bayern Munich’s 32nd consecutive unbeaten match against Werder Bremen across all competitions, highlighting their dominance over the opposition. While Bayern celebrated a resounding start to their title defense, Werder Bremen was left to contemplate what could have been in the face of a determined champion’s performance.
