Kane gives Bayern Munich a hard-fought win over Elversberg

English international Harry Kane secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory for his club Bayern Munich against their hosts Elfsborg, the season’s surprise package, on Sunday evening, completing the third matchday of the German football league by scoring the decisive goal in the 72nd minute.

Bayern opened the scoring through Linart Karl, assisted by Moroccan Ismail Saitani (26), before Maurice Krattenmacher equalized for the home side (61). The European Golden Shoe winner then settled matters in the 72nd minute.

The win lifted Bayern Munich to seven points, placing them fourth with two wins and one draw, while Elfsborg remained on six points in sixth place, suffering their first defeat after two consecutive wins in the opening matchdays.

Meanwhile, RB Leipzig moved to six points and regained their footing after two consecutive defeats across all competitions: a 3-1 loss to Werder Bremen in the league and a 4-1 defeat to Italian side Como in the first matchday of the unified group stage of the UEFA Champions League.
