Munich — Bayern Munich demolished Union Berlin 7-0 in bayern vs union berlin at the Allianz Arena, with Harry Kane becoming the quickest player in Bundesliga history to reach 100 goals. The England captain needed just 98 appearances to hit the milestone as Bayern stayed unbeaten after four league matches and moved top of the table.
The result turned into a statement win. Jamal Musiala opened the scoring in the 18th minute, Kane converted a penalty in the 39th minute, and Michael Olise added a third before half-time. Bayern never let Union settle.
bayern vs union berlin and Kane's record night
Kane's landmark goal came from the penalty spot after Olise was brought down by Tom Rothe. The strike took him to 100 Bundesliga goals faster than any player before him, beating the previous mark held by Dieter Müller, who reached the same total in 129 matches for Cologne.
He was not done there. Kane headed home Olise's cross nine minutes into the second half to reach 101 Bundesliga goals, while Ismael Saibari added Bayern's fifth in the 70th minute. Olise then scored twice more, first after rounding goalkeeper Frederik Rønnow and then with a curling effort from long range to complete his hat-trick.
It was a brutal attacking display, the kind that leaves no doubt about the gap on the night. Bayern's forwards cut Union open almost every time they pushed forward, and the visitors spent long spells chasing shadows.
Musiala set the tone early, collecting Alphonso Davies' pass before curling a shot into the far corner. From there, Bayern kept pressing. Kane's penalty changed the mood in the stadium. The rest followed fast.
What the win means for Bayern
The scoreline matters beyond the headline numbers. Bayern's 7-0 win sends a clear message in the title race after four matches, with Vincent Kompany's side now on 10 points and still unbeaten. For rivals, it was a reminder that Bayern can still overwhelm teams in a matter of minutes when their attack clicks.
For Kane, the night deepens an already remarkable start to the season. He has six goals in seven appearances this campaign and 152 goals in 154 matches for Bayern in all competitions since arriving from Tottenham in 2023. That run is one reason his name is starting to surface in broader individual awards talk, even if Bayern will care far more about the points and the rhythm of this start.
Union had no answer once Bayern found space between the lines. Their defense was pulled apart repeatedly, and each goal seemed to open the pitch a little wider for the next attack. Bayern took full advantage.
The match also underlined Olise's growing importance. His hat-trick gave Bayern another direct threat alongside Kane, while Musiala's opener set the tempo for a night that ended with a scoreline Union will want to forget quickly.
BBC Sport said coverage of the next Bundesliga fixture on its platforms will resume after the international break, with Borussia Dortmund facing Werder Bremen on Friday, October 9, from 19:20 BST.
