Bayern have finally shown their true colors, demolishing Union Berlin.

In the fourth round of the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich decisively defeated Union Berlin 7-0 at their home ground. Jamal Musiala opened the scoring, followed by Harry Kane netting two goals, Michael Olise scoring three times, and Ismael Saadi adding another goal. This performance marked Kane's achievement of 101 league goals in 101 matches, surpassing Dieter Müller's previous record of 100 goals in 129 games set in 1977. Josip Stanisic played the entire match for Bayern, while Marin Ljubicic remained on the bench for Union Berlin, which was affected by illness and did not have Josip Juricic available. With this win, Bayern moved to the top of the league table with 10 points, one more point than Borussia Dortmund and Freiburg despite having played one additional game, while Union Berlin dropped to 16th place with just one point.

Bayern Munich secured a dominant 7-0 victory over Union Berlin in their Bundesliga match at the Allianz Arena, marking another milestone for Harry Kane. The English forward became the fastest player in Bundesliga history to reach 100 goals, achieving the feat in just 98 matches, surpassing the previous record held by Dieter Müller, who needed 129 games to reach the same mark in 1977. Kane opened the scoring in the 39th minute with a penalty, bringing Bayern ahead 2-0. He added his second goal of the game in the 54th minute, taking his tally to 101 Bundesliga goals. His performance was instrumental in securing the win, which saw Bayern dominate throughout the match. Other contributors included Jamal Musiala, who scored early in the 18th minute, and Michael Olise, who netted a hat-trick with goals in the 43rd, 73rd, and 76th minutes. Ismael Saibari also found the back of the net in the 70th minute, completing the scoring. The result lifted Bayern to the top of the league table with 10 points after four matches, one more than both Borussia Dortmund and Freiburg, who have yet to play their matches. Union Berlin remain in 16th place with one point. Josip Stanišić played the entire match for Bayern, while Marin Ljubicic remained on the bench for Union, who were missing Josip Juranovic due to illness. The match was characterized by Bayern's overwhelming superiority, with Union struggling to mount any meaningful challenge. Kane’s achievement was celebrated widely, with media outlets highlighting his rapid rise to the top of the Bundesliga’s all-time scorers list. “I’m very proud to have reached 101 Bundesliga goals in such a short time,” Kane told Sky. “Every moment of it has been enjoyable.” Olise, meanwhile, showcased his form with a remarkable hat-trick, further cementing his role as a key player for Bayern. “It’s clear that Michael makes these goals, but he actually practiced these finishes a lot in training,” said coach Vincent Kompany. Union Berlin, despite their poor start to the season, struggled to contain Bayern’s attacking prowess. Their lack of defensive organization and limited offensive threat made them easy targets for the Bavarian side. The victory ensured Bayern’s position at the top of the standings, though they will need to maintain their form to stay ahead of rivals Dortmund and Freiburg, whose results could shift the league dynamics. With the October Festival approaching, the team will look to continue their strong run and build momentum heading into the crucial mid-season fixtures.
