Kane hat-trick!
Kane shows great composure to stick the ball into the net as he goes to ground on the edge of the six-yard box - but that goal is all about Sané. He beat five players before slipping cute pass through to his goal-hungry teammate.
Goal probability
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.
Distance to Goal
Distance to Goal
The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.

Expected Goals
xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Very smart from Bayern. Darmstadt have five men in the wall as Kane sizes up a free-kick. Instead, though, he rolls it to his right for Musiala to squeeze an unerring effort into the bottom corner.

Kimmich sent off!
The plot thickens! Neuer plays Kimmich into danger with a loose pass. Mehlem picks it off and drive goalwards, before being upended by the Bayern midfielder. That's the denial of a clear goal-scoring opportunity - no complaints from him.

Goal brokers
Bayern have scored at least twice in all eight of their Bundesliga matches so far this term, and in 12 of their last 13 overall. Indeed, the defending champions boast the highest goals-per-game average among all teams in Europe's top five leagues (3.3) in 2023/24.

Top spot up for grabs
It's the first time in history that each of the Bundesliga's top four has at least 20 points after eight matches. Bayern can move top today - for 24 hours at least - but only if they win and second-placed Stuttgart don't beat Hoffenheim, or they draw and VfB lose. Dortmund - level on points with Bayern at the start of play - take on Frankfurt tomorrow. Leaders Leverkusen are at home to Freiburg in the final fixture of Matchday 9.
Expect goals!
Bayern have scored at least once in each of their last 61 Bundesliga fixtures at the Allianz Arena. Their 64-game scoring home streak of 1970 to 1974 is the record. Darmstadt's run of 25 Bundesliga outings without a clean sheet, meanwhile, is currently the longest of any club.
Tuchel praises Neuer
"I can feel his excitement and his class," Tuchel said when comfirming Neuer's comeback at his pre-match press conference on Friday. "He’s enjoying it right now and can be proud of himself. His comeback is very impressive. I’m confident he’ll quickly get back into top shape."

Will we see Neuer?
Of course the first thing Tuchel was asked at his pre-match press conference on Friday, and the answer was yes. "As long as nothing happens today, he'll play tomorrow. He's excited, we're excited. There's probably a lot of other people excited about it too," the coach said of the impending return of Bayern's captain.
