Jamal Musiala, Harry Kane On Target As Bayern Munich Remember Franz Beckenbauer

Jamal Musiala scored twice and Harry Kane added a late goal as Bayern Munich won 3-0 at home over Hoffenheim on Friday as the club celebrated the life of Franz Beckenbauer. Beckenbauer, who spent the majority of his career at Bayern and helped establish them as a European powerhouse, died on Sunday at the age of 78. He was laid to rest just hours before kickoff, with Bayern honouring his memory with several tributes for the German football legend. Musiala, born two decades after Beckenbauer retired from the game in 1983, scored in each half to ensure the home side honoured his memory in the best possible fashion. 

"When you play for Bayern you know he's a legend" Musiala told DAZN. 

"He did a lot for Bayern. We wanted to get the win for him, out of respect.

"He was before my time a bit, but from what I've seen, videos, and what I've heard, he's a legend."

Kane scored in the final minute of regular time, his 22nd league goal after 16 matches since joining Bayern in the summer, to seal the result. 

Before kick-off on Friday, players and 75,000 fans observed a minute's silence in memory of Beckenbauer, one of only three men to have won the World Cup as a player and a coach.

"Not only people from the Bayern family, but everyone from around the planet acknowledged Franz Beckenbauer.

'Did everything for Bayern'

"He did everything for (Bayern) and we can only say thanks."

Bayern dominated possession early but were rusty in attack, having not played for three weeks.

Even the normally reliable Kane mislaid passes and failed to find teammates.
