Kane's 150th Goal for Bayern Leads to Narrow Victory Over Newly Promoted Elversberg

German professional football club Bayern Munich secured a narrow victory over newly promoted Elversberg, propelled by Harry Kane's 150th goal for the club.

Bayern defeated Elversberg 2-1 in the away match of the 2026-2027 Bundesliga Round 3 held at the Ursapharm-Arena in Spiesen-Elversberg, Germany, thanks to Kane's winning goal scored in the 27th minute of the second half.

Receiving a cutback from Aleksandar Pavlovic, Kane faced a defender and fired a right-footed shot through a tight angle to open the scoring.

This marks Kane's first league goal of this season and his 150th goal for Bayern in his 153rd appearance since transferring in 2023.

Looking solely at his Bundesliga record, he has scored 99 goals in 97 matches, leaving him just one goal away from reaching 100 career league goals.

The record for the fewest matches to reach 100 goals in the Bundesliga is currently held by Dieter Muller at 129 matches.

The likelihood of Kane breaking this record is extremely high.

Despite being a newly promoted team, Elversberg had stunned Leverkusen and Borussia Monchengladbach back-to-back in their previous two matches, and Bayern struggled against their momentum from the first half.


Lennart Karl scored the opening goal in the 26th minute of the first half, but Bayern conceded an equalizer to Maurice Krattenmacher in the 16th minute of the second half.

Thanks to Kane's decisive strike, Bayern claimed their second win of the season and climbed to fourth place in the standings with 7 points.

After the match, Kane said, "I was happy to score my first league goal and contribute to the team's victory," adding, "Given the results we produced over the past two seasons, people seem to expect that level every single match."

He continued, "We have the ability to do that, but what matters at this stage is ultimately securing all three points."

Kim Min-jae, who was substituted in the 39th minute of the second half against Stuttgart in Round 1 and remained on the bench during the away match against Schalke in Round 2, played the full 90 minutes of a league match for the first time on this day.
