Bayern Munich's Test Match Victory Against Tottenham Marred by Kane's Missed Penalty
Harry Kane, the striker for Bayern Munich, missed a penalty kick in a friendly match against his former club Tottenham Hotspur on August 7, 2025. This was his first missed penalty since joining Bayern, and he slipped while taking the shot, sending it over the crossbar [1][2][3].
The match, which took place at the Allianz Arena, ended with a resounding 4:0 victory for Bayern Munich. The team showcased their attacking prowess, with four different players scoring goals. Kingsley Coman, Lennart Karl (17 years old), and Jonah Kusi-Asare (18 years old) all found the back of the net for Bayern, in addition to an unnamed scorer [4][5][6].
Harry Kane, however, managed to score against his former club, although his penalty miss proved to be the highlight of the match for many. The miss was described as a "shot to the moon" and "in row Z" of the stand, and it was met with criticism, as reported by "The Sun" and "The Telegraph" [7][8].
Kane expressed relief that the missed penalty kick occurred in a friendly match. He attributed his slip to a momentary loss of balance and stated that he had the same routine as always [1][3].
Despite the missed penalty, Bayern Munich will be confident heading into their next match against VfB Stuttgart for the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup next week. Before that, they will test their form one more time against Grasshopper Club Zurich on Tuesday [9].
As for Harry Kane, he will aim to put the missed penalty behind him and continue his goal-scoring form for Bayern Munich.
