On Saturday, September 14, matches of the third round of the German championship took place. The game day program closed with the match between Holstein Kiel and Bayern Munich.
The guests defeated the Bundesliga newcomer with a score of 6-1. The leader of Munich, Harry Kane, scored a hat-trick in this match. These three goals allowed the English forward to bring his total number of goals in the Bundesliga to 50. The striker reached it after just 35 matches (40 goals and 11 assists).
Thus, he surpassed the seemingly eternal record of Norwegian Erling Holland. The latter, a player for Borussia Dortmund, made this many goals in 43 matches.
It should be noted that this is the second record for Bayern players this season. Earlier, Thomas Muller became the absolute record holder for the number of matches played for the club.
It will be recalled that Harry Kane has been playing for Bayern Munich since August 2023. During this time, he has played 49 matches in all competitions, scoring 49 goals and providing 15 assists.
