Forward, Harry Kane, netted his second hat-trick of the new season as defending champions, Bayern Munich, discomfited Hoffenheim 4-1 in the Bundesliga 2025/26 match on Saturday 20 September , 2025 at PreZero Arena.
This means Vincent Kompany’s Bayern Munich continue their 100% start.
32-year old Kane broke the deadlock on the stroke of half-time with a beautiful first-time finish from a stunningly worked low corner, and added the second for Bayern Munich from the penalty spot after Albian Hajdari was harshly penalised for a handball.
The Englishman’s second go shattered Hoffenheim’s resistance and Kane completed his ninth Bundesliga hat-trick with another penalty, awarded for a foul on substitute Michael Olise after a check by video assistant referee (VAR).
Kane’s penalty sent goalkeeper Oliver Baumann the other way for his 13th goal for the Bavarians in seven (7) games in all competitions this season.
This hat-trick adds to the former Tottenham Hotspur goal machine’s brace against Chelsea in the Uefa Champions League 2025/26 match on Wednesday.
Hoffenheim eventually pulled one back for their efforts as former West Ham full-back Vladimir Coufal’s deflected free-kick best goalkeeper Manuel Neuer to earn the Czech his first goal for the club.
Serge Gnabry sealed the win for Bayern Munich very late, in the 9th minute of additional time; former Liverpool star, Luis Diaz’ effort hit the top of the bar.
Senegalese striker, Nicolas Jackson, made his first start for Bayern, but, was substituted in the 62nd minute.
