Harry Kane continued his record-breaking spell with Bayern Munich after scoring his 150th goal for the Bavarian giants, guiding them to a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Elversberg on Matchday 3 of the Bundesliga.
The victory carried added importance for Vincent Kompany’s side following their goalless draw against Schalke in the previous round, allowing the defending champions to quickly return to winning ways despite strong resistance from the newly promoted side.
How Harry Kane Decided the Elversberg Match
Bayern dominated possession from the opening whistle but struggled to break down an organized defense, until Lennart Karl opened the scoring in the 25th minute by converting a low cross that the hosts failed to clear.
Elversberg refused to back down, having a goal disallowed for offside before halftime, and equalized in the 60th minute through former Bayern academy player Maurice Krattenmacher, who found the top corner with a powerful strike.
Bayern needed just 11 minutes to respond, as Kane reacted sharply to a loose ball inside the penalty box, squeezing a shot home from an exceptionally tight angle to seal the win and end Elversberg’s perfect start to their debut Bundesliga campaign.
Harry Kane’s Statistics With Bayern Munich
The English striker reached 150 goals in just 153 official appearances for Bayern—averaging nearly a goal per game—having previously needed only 104 matches to score his first 100 goals for the club.
Kane netted 44 goals in 45 matches during his debut 2023–2024 season, followed by 41 goals in 51 appearances throughout 2024–2025. He then delivered the most prolific campaign of his career in 2025–2026, scoring 61 goals in 51 matches. Adding four goals in his first six appearances of the current campaign brings his total tally to 150.
Kane finished last season as the Bundesliga’s top scorer for the third consecutive year with 36 goals in 31 matches, alongside 10 goals in the DFB-Pokal and 14 in the UEFA Champions League, claiming his second European Golden Shoe.
Bayern Standings and Elversberg’s Surprising Start
Bayern Munich raised their points tally to seven from two wins and a draw, moving into fourth place and trailing the league leaders by two points. They have one remaining fixture before the international break, hosting Union Berlin at the Allianz Arena on Friday, September 18.
Elversberg remained on six points in sixth place following their first defeat of the season. The newly promoted outfit had previously stunned Bayer Leverkusen with a 3-2 victory on the opening matchday before overturning a deficit against Borussia Mönchengladbach to win 4-3, proving their debut Bundesliga campaign goes beyond mere survival efforts.
