SV Darmstadt 98 2-5 Bayern Munich: Harry Kane finds the net once more as Bayern Munich rally to defeat the last-place team.
Harry Kane, the star striker for Bayern Munich, had a night to remember as he celebrated scoring his team’s second goal in a thrilling Bundesliga match against SV Darmstadt 98. The match took place at the Merck-Stadion am Böllenfalltor in Darmstadt, Germany on March 16, 2024.
Kane’s goal was his 31st of the season, further solidifying his position as one of the top goal scorers in the league. However, it was not just Kane who shone in this match. Jamal Musiala also had an outstanding performance, scoring a brace to help Bayern Munich come from behind and secure a 5-2 victory.
The match started with Thomas Tuchel’s side dominating the first half, but they found themselves trailing when Darmstadt launched a counter attack that resulted in Tim Skarke sliding the ball into the net. However, Bayern Munich quickly responded, with Kane setting up Musiala to equalize just eight minutes later.
On the stroke of half-time, Kane made history by heading in Joshua Kimmich’s cross, breaking the record for the most goals in a debut Bundesliga season. This achievement surpassed the previous record held by Uwe Seeler of Hamburg. The goal also gave Bayern Munich the lead going into the second half.
Musiala continued to impress in the second half, grabbing his second goal of the match. He capitalized on a quick throw-in from Thomas Muller, cutting inside and firing a shot that deflected off the keeper’s foot and into the net. Serge Gnabry, who came on as a late substitute, added to Bayern Munich’s tally with a cool finish from Musiala’s pass, just as he did in the previous match against Mainz.
In added time, another substitute, Mathys Tel, sealed the victory for Bayern Munich with a goal from Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting’s flick on. Despite a consolation goal from Oscar Vilhelmsson for the hosts, the result was a resounding win for Bayern Munich.
This victory keeps Bayern Munich’s title hopes alive, as they now sit seven points behind league leaders Bayer Leverkusen. Leverkusen will face Freiburg in their upcoming match on Sunday, and Bayern Munich will be eagerly watching the result as they continue their pursuit of the Bundesliga title.
