Harry Kane Helps Bayern Munich To Win At Wolfsburg On Vincent Kompany Debut
Harry Kane helped drag Bayern Munich to a come-from-behind 3-2 win at Wolfsburg on Sunday in new manager Vincent Kompany's Bundesliga debut. Jamal Musiala put Bayern 1-0 up after 19 minutes but Wolfsburg took the lead with two Lovro Majer goals in the first 10 minutes of the second half. Bayern were nervy, with Ralph Hasenhuettl's side pouncing on several defensive errors. A Kane header forced Wolfsburg's Jakub Kaminski into an own goal after 65 minutes and the England captain set up Bayern's third, laying on a pass for Serge Gnabry's 82nd-minute strike.
"It's not perfect yet", Kane told Bayern TV after the match, saying his side "got punished a little" in the second-half.
"We're still obviously implementing some of the ideas of the coach.
"Obviously, the team is a lot stronger than this. I'm happy we've got a good week to work now, to get to work on the ideas the coach wants."
Bayern midfielder Joshua Kimmich echoed Kane's sentiments on network DAZN, saying "we lost control of the game due to many mistakes", adding they "reacted well" when they fell 2-1 behind.
With 20 minutes gone, Kane, starting his first match since the Euro 2024 final in Berlin, found Sacha Boey on the right flank.
The French defender dribbled past two Wolfsburg defenders and cut the ball across for Musiala, who tapped home to open the scoring.
Musiala has six goals in eight games against Wolfsburg, more than any other side.

Wolfsburg were lucky to get away with what appeared to be a handball in the box 10 minutes later, with Kane shown a yellow card for remonstrating with the referee.
