In the icy Munich football stadium, FC Bayern‘s goal machine against FC Augsburg only warmed up after a long start-up phase. At 3-0 (0-0) on Friday evening, the German soccer record champions needed a late hat trick from Harry Kane, including two penalties, to get a deserved victory. Bayern extended their lead in the table to eight points at the start of the eleventh round of the Bundesliga.
Until the handball by Augsburg’s Mads Pedersen (63′), the Bayern offensive around Kane and the busy Jamal Musiala had run in vain. In stoppage time (93′), Kane scored again from the spot after the striker had previously been fouled by Keven Schlotterbeck. The FCA defender then saw yellow-red. Shortly afterwards, Kane also completed his hat trick and was therefore the man of the evening. Konrad Laimer came on as a substitute for Bayern in the 76th minute.
After the well-deserved victory and the sixth clean sheet win in a row, the Munich stars can with a lot of momentum take on the upcoming cracking games in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain, in the league against eternal rivals Borussia Dortmund and finally in the DFB Cup against defending champions Bayer Leverkusen.
Augsburg goalkeeper invincible for a long time
The focus was on FCA goalkeeper Nediljko Labrovic in front of 75,000 spectators. For a long time, the Croatian national goalkeeper was the insurmountable support behind the guests, who often defended very deeply. Bayern ran tirelessly. But no matter who shot or headed, Labrovic held everything for a long time.
Then Kane was allowed to step to the point and also converted his ninth penalty in the Bundesliga. The impeccable penalty record continued into stoppage time. And the Englishman went one better with his 14th goal of the season.

They shifted gears quickly, and once they found the back of the net, it was as if a valve had burst open. Their attacking play became more cohesive, leading to an impressive 3-0 finish. It shows that once they get going, they can be an unstoppable force.
**Interviewer:** That’s an interesting point. We saw some standout performances, especially in the second half. Which players did you think made the most impact?

Of course, you can’t overlook the contributions from Thomas Müller and Alphonso Davies. Their experience and ability to read the game helped Bayern exploit gaps and create scoring opportunities. It was a real team effort once they got their groove back.
**Interviewer:** Looking ahead, what do you think this match means for Bayern’s season?
**David Schneider:** This victory is crucial for maintaining their momentum in the Bundesliga.
