Kane scores brace as Bayern cruise past Pafos | OneFootball

Bayern Munich made light work of Pafos FC in a scintillating Champions League clash at Alphamega Stadium, cruising to a 5-1 victory in their second group-stage fixture.

The German giants dominated from start to finish, controlling possession and taking their chances with ruthless efficiency.

The scoring got underway in the 15th minute when Harry Kane found the net from a tight angle following a set-piece, giving Bayern an early foothold.

Raphaël Guerreiro doubled the lead just five minutes later with a composed strike from the edge of the box. Nicolas Jackson added a third before the half-hour mark, further asserting Bayern’s dominance.

The England international added Bayern's fourth, shortly after, taking his tally to 17 goals in nine games across all competitions this season.

Pafos briefly offered a spark just before the interval when Mislav Orsic fired a superb right-footed shot from outside the area, halving the deficit.

Any hopes of a fightback were quickly extinguished in the 68th minute as Michael Olise struck a left-footed effort to make it 5-1, sealing a comprehensive win for the visitors.
