Bayern Munich prevails over Tottenham Hotspur in a lopsided pre-season exhibition, with Kane netting a goal for the losing side.
Harry Kane, the prolific striker who joined Bayern Munich in a 100 million euro transfer from Tottenham in the summer of 2023, showcased his goal-scoring ability once again in the recent pre-season friendly against his former club.
In the match on 7 August 2025, Kane opened the scoring for Bayern Munich but missed a penalty due to a slip, sending the ball over the crossbar. Despite this miss, his overall performance was strong, as he actively participated in the attack and contributed to the team's 4-0 victory.
Kane, who became the Bundesliga's top scorer for the second consecutive year in the 2024-25 season with 26 goals, remains a critical player for Bayern. Since joining the club, he has had major accomplishments, including scoring multiple hat-tricks and setting records for goals in the Bundesliga early in his career.
The match was one-sided in favour of Bayern Munich, with Kingsley Coman scoring the second goal with a curling shot from the edge of the box at the 61st minute, and Lennart Karl scoring in the dying stages of the game. Jonah Kusi-Asare also found the back of the net for Bayern.
For Tottenham, Kane's former team, the match was part of a mixed pre-season under new coach Thomas Frank. The team has recorded wins against London rivals Arsenal and Reading, along with draws against Newcastle, Luton Town, and Wycombe. Joao Palhinha, on a season-long loan from Bayern to Tottenham, gave away a penalty for Bayern in the match.
This was Kane's first missed penalty since the 2022 World Cup quarter-final defeat to France. He had a chance to double Bayern's lead two minutes later but missed again due to a slip. Despite this, Kane's consistent goal-scoring form for Bayern remains impressive, and he will likely be a key player for the team as they prepare for the UEFA Super Cup clash with European champions Paris Saint-Germain next Wednesday.
During the match on 7 August 2025, Kane's first penalty for Bayern Munich against his former club Tottenham resulted in a miss due to a slip, sending the ball over the crossbar. Instead, Kane's goal-scoring form continued with another goal in the same game, contributing to Bayern's dominance in the European-leagues, particularly the Premier League.
