Harry Kane's 15th Goal Powers Bayern Munich to Dominant 5-0 Victory Over Bochum

With goals from Michael Olise (16'), Jamal Musiala (26'), Harry Kane (57'), Leroy Sané (65'), and Kingsley Coman (71'), Bayern Munich won a thunderous 5-0 overwhelming show against VfL Bochum. Bayern's constant offensive demonstrated their match control because they took 19 shots with 73% possession. VfL Bochum had just 6 shots and 27% possession, therefore struggling to generate opportunities. Bayern maintains its top spot in the Bundesliga rankings with this victory, proving its ability to compete fiercely for the league championship.

Harry Kane continues his scoring record as Bayern Munich secures 3 points in Bundesliga 

Harry Kane scored his 15th goal of the season as Bayern Munich eased to a 5-0 win over Bochum in the Bundesliga on Sunday to lift some of the gloom from its heavy midweek loss at Barcelona.

Jamal Musiala scored a header and set up Kane’s goal in Musiala’s first start since Oct. 2 following a hip injury in a win that looked like a return to business as usual for Bayern following one win from its previous five games in all competitions.

“We just want to take a step forward in every game and we enjoy scoring goals,” Musiala told broadcaster DAZN. Of the 4-1 loss to Barcelona on Wednesday, he added: “It was really bitter and it hurt us, but we’re looking ahead.”

Michael Olise got Bayern started when he lofted a free kick over the wall and into the net in the 16th minute, before Musiala headed in for 2-0 soon after. Musiala dribbled past a defender and passed for Kane to score in the 57th.

The England captain has nine Bundesliga goals this season, making him the league’s joint-top scorer with Eintracht Frankfurt’s Omar Marmoush.

Leroy Sané, who’s struggled for fitness in recent months, came off the bench to score his first Bundesliga goal in nearly a year in style with a drive into the top-left corner. Kingsley Coman made it five with a shot that bounced in off the crossbar.

Bayern reclaimed top spot on goal difference ahead of Leipzig, which had moved up to first Saturday with a 3-1 win over Freiburg.

A 3-2 loss at Bochum last season helped lose Bayern Munich the title, and the home team nearly took a shock lead early in Sunday’s game. Moritz Broschinski beat Kim Min-Jae to a long pass and shot past goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, but his effort was so lacking in power that Kim was able to chase it down and clear it before it crossed the line.

In the end, it was more misery for a team which is last in the Bundesliga and on Sunday marked exactly five months since its last win in a competitive game.

Bochum fired coach Peter Zeidler last week after eight games and no wins in all competitions, and has named coaches Markus Feldhoff and Murat Ural in joint charge “until further notice.”
