Harry Kane scored four goals, including three penalties, to lead Bayern Munich to a record-breaking 9-2 victory over Dinamo Zagreb in their Champions League opener. The England captain's hat-trick propelled him past Wayne Rooney as the top English goalscorer in the competition.
ENGLAND CAPTAIN Harry Kane scored four goals, including three penalties, as Bayern Munich beat Dinamo Zagreb 9-2 at home on Tuesday — becoming the first team to score nine goals in a Champions League match.
The six-time Champions League winners had won every one of their past 20 opening matches in the competition dating back to 2002-03. The England captain converted the penalty, sending Ivan Nevistic the wrong way. Bayern then grabbed hold of the match with two goals in a five-minute period late in the first half.
When Takuya Ogiwara scored on the counter just two minutes later, the home fans began to wonder if last season’s wobbles — when Bayern went trophyless for the first time in 11 seasons — were back. Antonio Rudiger headed home in the 83rd minute for the record 15-time champions after Deniz Undav had levelled Mbappe’s opener just seconds into the second half.
Madrid have lacked a certain balance after stalwart Toni Kroos retired in the summer and the game lurched from end to end under the Santiago Bernabeu lights. Rodrygo had a shot narrowly deflected over while Madrid were awarded a penalty when Maximilian Mittelstadt appeared to catch Rudiger with a clumsy swipe, but the referee cancelled the decision after a VAR referral showed no contact was made.
