Michael Olise shines, Harry Kane breaks a record at the Bayern gala
On Friday evening, Bayern Munich dominated Union Berlin 7‑0 on the 4th matchday of the Bundesliga, thanks to a hat‑trick from Michael Olise and two goals from Harry Kane, the latter setting a new record for early scoring in the German Championship.
Olise's hat‑trick and the other scorers
Jamal Musiala opened the scoring in the 18th minute, followed by a penalty from Harry Kane in the 39th minute, which took his total to 100 Bundesliga goals. Michael Olise doubled the lead in the 43rd minute, then added two more goals in the 73rd and 76th minutes. Harry Kane scored his second goal in the 54th minute, while Ismael Saibari finished the scoring in the 70th minute.
Harry Kane's early‑scoring record
That penalty allowed Harry Kane to score his 100th Bundesliga goal in his 98th appearance, shattering the record of Dieter Müller, who had taken 129 matches to reach the same tally on 25 September 1977. Two minutes later, in the 54th minute, he recorded his 101st league goal. This new early‑scoring record was described as “Rekord” by observers.
Ratings and individual performances
Manuel Neuer received a rating of 2.5, while Josip Stanisic, Dayot Upamecano, Jonathan Tah and Alphonso Davies earned ratings between 2 and 3. Luis Diaz was the only one to remain quiet, his play being judged less convincing than that of his teammates. The ratings reflect an overall dominant performance by Bayern.
The match was billed as Bayern's gala, nicknamed the FCB‑Torfestival, and took place in Munich ahead of the start of the Wiesn. The supporters enjoyed the spectacle, with a 7‑0 score that confirmed the club’s superiority.
With this victory, Bayern Munich confirms its strong start in the Bundesliga and looks ahead to the next challenges. The team remains unbeaten after four matchdays and retains the top spot in the table.
