4 Nov 2024 19.31 GMT A hat-trick last Saturday, another one today. Kane’s got 17 goals
in 14 games for Bayern now. Three hat-tricks in total for his new club. Main point:
silly numbers.
4 Nov 2024 19.28 GMT “The Bayern kit is an interesting combination of
colours, reminiscent of strawberries and cream,” writes Peter Oh. “Their Englishman has
been so smooth that they oughta call it ‘Strawberries and Kane’.”
4 Nov 2024 19.25 GMT
FULL TIME: Dortmund 0-4 Bayern Domination from Bayern and Harry Kane. The hosts just
never looked as if they were in the game, conceding in the fourth minute to an
Upamecano header. And then Kane took over, the Englishman demonstrating his substantial
chemistry with the three delightful players behind him: Sané, Musiala and Coman. This
was meant to be Dortmund’s chance to change the direction of this rivalry; instead,
they’ve been brushed aside with ease. The Bayern players celebrate their victory with
their fans. Photograph: Martin Meissner/AP

GOAL! Dortmund 0-4 Bayern (Kane 90 + 3) No way. Pavlović wins the ball in the middle,
slots in Kane, who is one on one and slots in himself. He’s got another hat-trick, his
third for Bayern this season. It’s November. Bayern's Harry Kane scores his side's
fourth goal and complete his hat-trick. Photograph: Martin Meissner/AP

Adeyemi shows off his quick feet again on the right, but Bayern shirts surround him and
brush him away.
4 Nov 2024 19.19 GMT 89 min: Müller and Choupo-Moting come on for

4 Nov 2024 19.09 GMT 78 min: Coman,

three Bayern players, which sums it up.
4 Nov 2024 19.06 GMT 76 min: Dortmund must go

counter. Musiala launches forward and is taken down by Sabitzer, who gets a yellow.

Nov 2024 19.02 GMT GOAL! Dortmund 0-3 Bayern (Kane 72) Another one! Coman finds space
on the right wing and plays the perfect low cross to Kane, who takes a touch and then
slots into the bottom left corner as Kobel dives the other way. Can he get his third
hat-trick of the season? Harry Kane puts Bayern Munich three goals to the good with his
second goal of the game. Photograph: Stuart Franklin/Getty Images Kane celebrates.

Nov 2024 19.00 GMT 70 min: Bayern think they have their third… but it’s ruled offside.

appears to be off…

by the way, and he’s looking lively on the right for the men in yellow.

counter and Kane finds Coman, who plays in Musiala… but Kobel saves the day again with
a strong save.
4 Nov 2024 18.50 GMT 60 min: Hummels gets a yellow for a nasty looking
challenge on Kane. Shin pads to the rescue there.
Updated at 18.51 GMT
4 Nov 2024 18.50
GMT 59 min: Min-jae heads away a nice-looking cross into the box. Upamecano comes off
for Bayern – which maybe means he’s still struggling with his injury.
4 Nov 2024 18.48
GMT 58 min: Now it’s Kobel’s turn to make a top save. He keeps out Sané with a dive to
his right and, yes, we can now call this an end-to-end game.

4 Nov
2024 18.47 GMT 56 min: Cracking save from Neuer! Reus brilliantly took down a long ball
from Hummels in the box, and played a one-two with Füllkrug before firing in his shot.
Neuer moved to his left to block it.
4 Nov 2024 18.45 GMT 55 min: Schlotterbeck steps
on the foot of Laimer – free kick for Bayern in their own half.

off Upamecano for a corner.
4 Nov 2024 18.41 GMT 52 min: Sané wins it pressing high up
the pitch but can’t deliver a killer ball.

finally start to move the ball around a bit more tidily.

one-on-one with the keeper, but out comes a big save from Kobel. Corner.

4 Nov 2024 18.35 GMT “Bayern 8 out of 10 times are a half step quicker to
pass or make a block or recover a lost ball,” writes Gene Salorio. “Not about managers
or systems, one team simply has slightly better to much better players.”
4 Nov 2024
18.34 GMT Alright, are Dortmund gonna pull off something special here? Probs not. But
they’re gonna change things up – Niklas Süle is coming on for Marius Wolf.
4 Nov 2024
18.29 GMT I forgot to give Sané his dues for the corner into Upamecano – it was a
delightful ball in, on the spot and with pace. Just needed a touch on it and it was
always going in.
4 Nov 2024 18.22 GMT HALF-TIME: Dortmund 0-2 Bayern Bayern were 2-0 up
after just nine minutes, with Kane and Upamecano the goalscorers. Dortmund simply
haven’t turned up yet, with the visitors dominating possession and looking quite
frightening on the counter. Musiala, Sané and Coman have provided some artistic
flourishes in the attacking third, and Kane’s enjoying himself too.
4 Nov 2024 18.19
GMT 45 + 2 min: Huge chance for Dortmund as they finally burst into life going forward,
the ball trickling to Malen in the box, but he’s off balance when shooting – an attempt
to find the top left corner goes wrong, the ball going over.
4 Nov 2024 18.16 GMT 45 +
1 min: Upamecano gives the ball away near the centre but Dortmund can’t keep a hold of
it themselves. It’s been that way throughout this half.
4 Nov 2024 18.15 GMT 44 min:
Coman keeps popping into the spaces, drifting in from the right before threatening to
drive with the ball through the middle. He’s been terrific.

4 Nov
2024 18.13 GMT 43 min: A yellow card for Bayern’s manager, Tuchel! Not sure what he’s
done, but the ref’s given him a telling off there.
4 Nov 2024 18.12 GMT 41 min: Hummels
plays it long and Mazraoui deals with it – nearly a decent handball shout there, with
the right-back on the edge of the box, but ref’s not ‘aving it.
4 Nov 2024 18.09 GMT 38
min: Free kick for Bayern on the left, with Sané positioned to cross the ball into the
box.
4 Nov 2024 18.07 GMT 37 min: Nearly a stunner from Goretzka, who takes a cross
onto the chest in the box and then unleashes a scissor/bicycle kick (a mix of the two,
I guess) that flies wide.
Updated at 18.10 GMT
4 Nov 2024 18.06 GMT 36 min: Bayern
refuse to lose the ball, passing it around the back as Dortmund chase away.
4 Nov 2024
18.04 GMT 34 min: Malen’s cross is blocked and the ball flies comfortably into the
hands of Neuer.
