After an unbelievable 0-3 defeat in the German Super Cup against RB Leipzig, defending champions Bayern Munich begin their Bundesliga title defence with a trip to Werder Bremen.
100 million euro rookie Harry Kane was registered in the starting lineup by coach Thomas Tuchel and the England international did not disappoint everyone's expectations with an unforgettable performance.
Harry Kane assisted Leroy Sane to open the scoring
It took less than four minutes for Harry Kane to win over the Bayern fans at the Wesestadion, barely looking up to deliver a sharp pass that tore open the Bremen defence. This move created the opportunity for Leroy Sane to break through and score with an extremely simple finish.
Harry Kane and the defense that made coach Tuchel ecstatic
90 seconds later, Harry Kane appeared in the Bayern penalty area and made a crucial defensive header to prevent the home players from equalizing.
Bayern fans were ecstatic with the wonderful "attack and defense" in the first 5 minutes of the match, and coach Thomas Tuchel immediately called it the "Kane effect": Decisive in attack, diligent in defense.
Harry Kane "opens fire" in Bundesliga
Harry Kane had another dangerous header in the 25th minute after a corner kick from Leroy Sane and also had another near-goal in the 61st minute that goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka had to work hard to block.
The England captain's best chance came in the 74th minute when he received a cross from Alphonso Davies and fired past a Bremen defender, beating goalkeeper Pavlenka to get his name on the Bundesliga scoresheet for the first time.
Coach Tuchel praises new English player
Most of the time on the field, Harry Kane was almost alone in Bayern's attack, even though he was surrounded by Leroy Sane, Kingsley Coman and Jamal Musiala.
However, a goal and an assist were more than enough for a perfect debut, promising a bright future for Harry Kane once he links more closely with the teammates around him as well as improves his role in Thomas Tuchel's tactical formation.
Leroy Sane scored a "double" on opening day
Bayern Munich's substitutions after the second goal proved effective. Substitute Thomas Muller set up Leroy Sane for the third in the 90th minute, while substitute Mathys Tel opened the scoring four minutes later, from a well-placed pass from defender Alphonso Davies.
Bayern Munich won big at Werder Bremen
The defending champions successfully opened their Bundesliga campaign with a resounding victory over Werder Bremen and, more importantly, they managed to "introduce" the formidable striker Harry Kane, reminiscent of the image of the "assassin" Robert Lewandowski of old.
