English striker Harry Kane led Bayern Munich to recover from a deficit and beat host Wolfsburg 3-2 in the first round of the German Football League.
The Bavarian team played its first match in the Bundesliga under the leadership of its new Belgian coach Vincent Kompany, and Jamala Musiala gave Bayern the lead (20) before Wolfsburg snatched the lead thanks to two goals from the Croatian Lovro Madjer in the first ten minutes of the second half (47 and 55). Bayern equalized with an own goal from the Polish Jakub Kaminski (65), before Serge Gnabry gave them the winning goal (82).
Bayern’s opening goal came after Kane, who played his first match since Euro 2024, passed to Chasa Boye on the right side, before the French defender dribbled past two players and passed the ball to Musiala, who did not hesitate to follow it into the goal (20).
Wolfsburg were lucky to avoid giving Bayern a penalty kick after 10 minutes after a handball inside the area, which resulted in Kane being booked for protesting to the officials.
Wolfsburg turned the tables on their guests at the start of the second half after Boye caused a penalty kick in Wolfsburg’s favour after he obstructed the Portuguese Thiago Tomas inside the area.
Madjer successfully took the penalty kick, equalizing the score (47), before the same Croatian midfielder was able to give the home team the lead eight minutes later.
Kane played a pivotal role in equalising for Bayern after the England captain headed a ball that rebounded off Wolfsburg player Kaminski directly into his own net (65).
Kane contributed again to the winning goal eight minutes before the end of regular time after he passed the ball that Gnabry scored from close range (82).
Wolfsburg’s failure to beat Bayern since 2015 has reached 21 matches, and in another match, Heidenheim beat newly promoted hosts St. Pauli 2-0.
