New start record: Bayern make Bundesliga history thanks to Kane | OneFootball

On the 4th matchday in the Bundesliga, FC Bayern celebrated a convincing 4:1 away win in Hoffenheim. The team led by Vincent Kompany has thus made the best season start in Bundesliga history.

FC Bayern set a historical milestone in the Bundesliga away game in Hoffenheim. With the 4:1 victory against TSG, the record champions achieved the best season start in Bundesliga history: four wins, 18:3 goals - no team has ever started a season this strong. With this, Vincent Kompany and his team improved the previous season's record by two goals.

The performance of the Munich team seemed sluggish three days after the Champions League triumph against Chelsea. Hoffenheim had the best chances through Asllani (13.) and Bernardo (24.), but the goals fell on the other side.

Just before the break, it was youngster Lennart Karl who set up Harry Kane with a cleverly executed corner kick. The Englishman scored dryly for 1:0 (44.). Just seconds after the restart, referee Hartmann decided on a penalty after a handball by Hajdari - Kane converted confidently to 2:0 (48.).

Bayern controlled the game from then on, before Olise was fouled in the penalty area. Another penalty, again Kane, again ice-cold (77.). Thus, the captain of the English national team scored his first Bundesliga hat-trick. Although Coufal reduced the score with a direct free kick (82.), Serge Gnabry made it 4:1 in stoppage time.

Worries despite record mood

As exuberant as the Munich team were allowed to celebrate the record start, the injury worries remain. Already in the 69th minute, Minjae Kim had to be substituted due to calf problems. This adds to the list of injured defenders: in addition to the long-term injuries Alphonso Davies, Hiroki Ito and Josip Stanisic, Kim is now also facing a break. Sacha Boey also had to end the game early due to injury just before the end of regular playing time.

The game ended without personal success moments for Nicolas Jackson. The striker on loan from Chelsea made his starting eleven debut, but seemed pale. After 62 minutes, he was replaced by Gnabry. His yield: 15 ball contacts, one shot on goal, two misplaced passes.

Nevertheless, in the end, Harry Kane's gala outshone everything - and a record that goes down in Bundesliga history.
