Serge Gnabry bails out Bayern Munich! Harry Kane plays pivotal role as Germany star nets winning goal against Wolfsburg to give Vincent Kompany a perfect start in the Bundesliga

Bundesliga

St. Pauli

Bayern Munich

FC Heidenheim

Wolfsburg

In typical Bayern fashion, they dominated possession in the match, pushing their opponents into their own half for the majority of the game. It took 19 minutes before the Bavarians took the lead, with full-back Sacha Boey delivering a perfect cross for Jamal Musiala to tap into the net. However, it was not a completely straightforward afternoon for them as Wolfsburg won and converted a penalty early in the second half, courtesy of Lovro Majer.The Croatian midfielder was at it again six minutes later, capitalising on a lapse in concentration from Kim Min-jae and sliding the ball past Manuel Neuer to give his side the lead. But the Wolfsburg lead lasted only 10 minutes before Jakub Kaminski turned the ball into his own net, with plenty of time still left on the clock. Serge Gnabry rescued Bayern with a pinpoint finish off the far post to give the away side all three points and a winning start to the 2024-25 campaign.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">💪 𝐕𝐈𝐂𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐎𝐋𝐅𝐒𝐁𝐔𝐑𝐆! 💪 ⚫️ FT <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/WOBFCB?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#WOBFCB</a> 2-3 ⚫️<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/FCBayern?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#FCBayern</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/MiaSanMia?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#MiaSanMia</a> <a href="https://t.co/3OQO7h9eZT">pic.twitter.com/3OQO7h9eZT</a>— FC Bayern (@FCBayernEN) <a href="https://twitter.com/FCBayernEN/status/1827729054713127387?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 25, 2024</a></blockquote>

There has still been no major silverware for Harry Kane since leaving Tottenham last summer, but the England captain looked at his very best as he played the role of architect during Bayern's win on the opening weekend. His header across goal initially got the German giants on level terms in the second half, before producing a perfect turn and pass to lay off Gnabry for the final say late on.

THE MVP

Despite Bayern securing a late win, it was a day to forget for Kim Min-jae in defence. The South Korean centre-back gave the ball away for Wolsfburg's second goal and struggled to win his duels when his side were on the back foot. He was eventually hooked in the 81st minute and replaced by Eric Dier as the Bavarians looked to see things out.

THE BIG LOSER

Bayern were able to match rivals Bayer Leverkusen by winning their opening match, but it is a long road ahead in the quest to take back the Bundesliga title from Xabi Alonso's men. Next up for Kane and Co. is a return home to the Allianz Arena when they host Freiburg.
