Watch: Kane - "It was nice to get a couple of goals today"

A delighted Bayern and England striker marked his 50th Bundesliga appearance in the way he knows best.

Watch: Musiala - "I think we lost a bit of concentration"

The Bayern playmaker was in a reflective mood as Bayern took another win despite Kiel's fightback.

Full-time: Bayern Munich 4-3 Holstein Kiel

Crazy finish in Munich as Sané sees an effort cleared off the line. Bayern were cruising, until Kiel blotted the copybook with a couple of very late consolation goals. Food for thought for Kompany, whose side led 4-0 after 54 minutes - but they are now nine points clear of Leverkusen, having played a game more.

What the?

Skrzybski pulls Kiel to within one goal of the leaders, the second-half sub shovelling into the unguarded net after Neuer had thwarted Arp. They couldn't, could they?

Wow!

Gnabry makes his mark with Bayern's fourth. The half-time sub starts the move out on the right and continues his run. He reacts to a deflected pass in the box with a wonderful piece of control on his right foot, before crashing in a stunning volley with his left. If that's not Goal of the Week...

Half-time: Bayern 2-0 Kiel

The Bundesliga leaders are heading for another three points at the Allianz Arena. They've been given a couple of scares by a brave Kiel outfit, but goals from Musiala and Kane have them deservedly in front at the halfway stage.

Kane on his 50th Bundesliga appearance!

Bayern stretch their lead on the stroke of half-time. The leaders patiently shift the ball from left to right and then back again. Coman goes on the outside of his man and stands up a teasing cross for Kane to power in a clinical downward header. That's now a record-extending 54 goals in 50 Bundesliga games for the England man!

Deflected!

It takes two defenders to prevent Coman from doing more damage at the end of a surging run into the penalty area. Kimmich's ensuing corner is worked back towards the edge of the box, where Laimer sends a deflected daisy-cuttter just wide of the far post.

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).

They've had some chances, but Musiala's effort has Bayern in front as we near the half-time break.

What a save!

Weiner throws himself to his left to stop a swerving Pavlović strike from nestling into the top corner. He had to adjust his body after the shot took a wicked deflection off Harres - that's great goalkeeping!

Jam the man

Musiala's already surpassed his 12-goal tally of last season, with 15 in all competitions so far this term. He also has seven assists. Sixteen of each represents his best single-campaign haul to date (2022/23).

Not far away!

Olise does what Olise does best with a dangerous run in off the right-hand side. He winds up that famous left foot of his, trying to find the far corner of Weiner's goal, but the shot whistles wide.

25'

Off the line!

Kiel might not get a better chance to score than this. It's another incisive attacking move up the left that culminates in the unmarked Holtby firing goalwards from eight yards. Neuer's beaten, but Kim is in the right place at the right time to hoof clear.

23'

Kimmich!

The Bayern midfielder hoodwinks the Kiel defence from a free-kick outside the area. They're expecting the cross, but he instead goes for goal, forcing Weiner into a strong diving save.

Breakthrough!

Lovely goal as Bayern break the Kiel resistance. Some quick one-touch passing sends Olise into the box. He cuts a first-time ball back for Musiala, who coolly sweeps in his 10th Bundesliga goal of the campaign.

Wing men combine

Bayern respond with Olise, but his cross has just too much on it for Coman at the far post and the Frenchman - at full stretch - can only poke the ball into touch.

Close!

Away Kiel go as Becker drives forward from the back before playing a defence-splitting pass into the run of Javorček. He squares for Harres, whose first-time strike goes just wide of Neuer's right-hand post. That's the threat Holstein pose in transition!

One-way traffic

Bayern are hogging the ball in the early stages, operating largely inside the Kiel half. The pattern of play suggests Holstein have set up to play counter.

Passes

Kiel find joy

The visitors get men forward in numbers as they attack up the left flank. A pass is played across the Bayern area for Rosenboom, who flashes a shot on the turn wide of the upright.

Half chance

Holtby concedes a free-kick for a foul on Olise. It's in a central area, ideal for the right foot of Kimmich. He duly clips a ball into the penalty box, where Upamecano tests Weiner for the first time with his head. It won't be the last...

Wide from Coman

The first scare for Kiel as Coman darts in off the left-hand side. After exchanging passes with Musiala, the Frenchman hammers in a long-range shot that's deflected wide. Kimmich plays it to the edge of the area, but Olise's subsequent cross is headed clear by a white shirt.

Under way!

Bayern get the ball rolling in Munich. The Bundesliga leaders can go nine points clear with a win...

Kick-off!

We Remember/ Never again

There's a moment's reflection ahead of kick-off to mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and to pass on the message of Holocaust survivors. German football also paid their respects on Matchday 19.

3:00

Watch: Milestone for Kane

Harry Kane makes his 50th Bundesliga appearance today. The England striker has scored 53 times in his first 49, already giving him the best record of any player across a half-century of outings in the German top tier.

Mathys Tel latest

Tel started the win over Slovan in the Champions League, but is not involved today amid speculation linking him with a move away from the club. "We're talking a lot with him. A lot's been going on with the young lad in the past few days. He's only 19. We decided together with him yesterday that there's a lot on his mind, so it makes no sense for him to be involved today," commented Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund earlier. "That was discussed very openly with him. But that doesn't mean anything. There's a lot going on right now. Lots of clubs are interested in Mathys. He just needs to think about things today and tomorrow."

More on that Kiel team

Kiel have lost a bit of steam after their 4-2 thriller against Dortmund and Marcel Rapp has reacted accordingly. Machino drops to the bench after back-to-back games without goals, while Gigović, Tolkin, Rosenboom and Holtby all come into the side.

More on that Bayern team

Following another successful night in the Champions League, Vincent Kompany makes five changes with Laimer, Upamecano, Guerreiro, Coman and Musiala all returning to the fold.

Championship form?

Bayern are only team to have won all four Bundesliga games in 2025 and now enjoy their largest lead of the season so far - they're six points ahead of second-placed Bayer Leverkusen. After going this far ahead at his stage of a campaign, Bayern have only once failed to go on and claim the title: in 1992/93, when they were six points ahead of Bremen after Matchday 22 but ended up finishing second.

No mercy

However, since March 2008, Bayern Munich have not lost to a team that was in a direct relegation spot (49 wins, eight draws – currently on a run of 20 wins). Kiel currently sit in 17th...

2:03

In-form Kiel

That said, Kiel bring some strong form into this clash with the Bavarian giants, having picked up more points (seven; two wins, one draw) from their last five games than they did in their first 14 matchdays (five) in 2024/25.

Bad memories

Kiel have only played at the Allianz Arena once before, but that match was one to remember. Their last-minute 2-1 Bundesliga 2 relegation play-off loss to 1860 Munich back in 2015 remains one of the bitterest defeats in club history.

Vincent Kompany on facing Kiel

"Holstein Kiel is my priority. It's good to hear that we have the best attack and defence. That shows we're doing our job. It's always about mentality. What Kiel did against Dortmund, Leverkusen and Wolfsburg... That's a feeling they can bring tomorrow. We don't distinguish between opponents, just want to go into the game with hunger."

Marcel Rapp on facing Bayern

"We have to run, fight and look to stick to our plan in every game. That will be even more important against Bayern Munich. We will see where that gets us in the end."

Harry Kane scored a hat-trick as Bayern ran an amok in Kiel when the teams last went head to head earlier this season.

Goal machine

Harry Kane will make his 50th Bundesliga appearance if he faces Kiel on Matchday 20. The Englishman has 53 goals in his 49 appearances so far – a record which even surpasses Erling Haaland's first 50 games. The Norwegian managed only(!) 50.
