Bayern Munich secured a convincing 4-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in a pre-season friendly match. Harry Kane, who joined Bayern from Spurs in a £87 million transfer last summer, scored his first goal against his former side. The England captain put Bayern ahead after 12 minutes with a composed penalty box finish. Despite having a chance to double the lead two minutes later, Kane’s penalty shot sailed over the bar, marking the first time he had missed a spot kick since the 2022 World Cup quarter-final defeat to France.
Kane’s performance was part of a dominant display by Bayern, with Kingsley Coman adding the second goal with a superb curling shot from the edge of the box in the 61st minute. The win was completed by Bayern teenagers Lennart Karl and Jonah Kusi-Asare, who scored in the dying stages of the match. This friendly match served as Bayern’s final test before facing European champions Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup next Wednesday.
Tottenham, meanwhile, has had a mixed pre-season under new coach Thomas Frank, with wins over Arsenal and Reading, as well as draws with Newcastle, Luton Town, and Wycombe. The match against Bayern provided valuable experience for both teams as they prepare for the upcoming season.
