Not just Kane: Dortmund stars with perfect penalty records | OneFootball

On Friday, Harry Kane set two Bundesliga records with his 18th converted penalty for FC Bayern Munich. In one of them, he dethroned a former striker from Borussia Dortmund, and in the other, he reached double the value of two other former BVB players.

Harry Kane has indeed already experienced a first missed penalty for FC Bayern Munich. However, this happened in the DFB Cup against SV Wehen Wiesbaden, which is why his record in the Bundesliga remains flawless. Also in his 18th attempt, he neither shot past nor hit the post or crossbar, and as always, gave the respective keeper no chance.

This put him ahead of the previous co-record holder for converted penalties without a single miss in the Bundesliga, which he had already accomplished with his two converted penalties in Hoffenheim. Hans-Joachim Abel had scored sixteen times from the spot during his time at VfL Bochum and FC Schalke 04 without failing. Harry Kane is now at 18 penalties in this regard.

Robert Lewandowski's record surpassed

The third-placed in this list is Ludwig "Lulu" Nolden from MSV Duisburg, who converted fifteen penalties in the 1960s and also never failed. Further back in this ranking, but still in the Bundesliga's top ten, are also two professionals who achieved this top position entirely at Borussia Dortmund.

Marcio Amoroso and Emre Can each converted nine penalties without a miss, with the latter potentially able to extend his series if he were to become fit again.

No player in the Bundesliga had ever converted eighteen consecutive penalties like Harry Kane now – regardless of the rest of the record – which gives Harry Kane a second record for penalties taken, which he took from Robert Lewandowski. The Pole, now at FC Barcelona, had converted 17 consecutive penalties for Borussia Dortmund and FC Bayern Munich between 2013 and 2018 before this series came to an end.
