Harry Kane’s Late Equalizer Rescues Bayern – But Winning Streak Ends in Berlin

Harry Kane’s Late Equalizer Rescues Bayern – But Winning Streak Ends in Berlin

Bayern Munich’s remarkable run of consecutive victories came to an end on a cold Bundesliga night in Berlin, as Vincent Kompany’s side were held to a dramatic 2–2 draw by Union Berlin. While Harry Kane once again delivered in the dying minutes, his stoppage-time equalizer was only enough to preserve Bayern’s unbeaten record — not their perfect one.

⚽️ A Game of Shifts and Setbacks

Union Berlin took the lead in the 12th minute through Danilho Doekhi, who capitalized on a moment of disorganization in the Bayern defense. The home side looked compact, aggressive, and determined to make a statement against the league giants.

Bayern responded through Luis Díaz, who scored his first Bundesliga goal with a well-placed finish just before half-time. The Colombian winger looked lively throughout, adding pace and unpredictability to Bayern’s attack.

In the second half, however, Union remained resolute and regained the lead in the 83rd minute — again through Doekhi — as he headed home from a set-piece to stun the visitors.

👏 Kane Delivers — Again

Just when it seemed like Bayern’s perfect streak was over, Harry Kane came to the rescue. The England captain scored with a powerful header in the 90+3rd minute, making it 2–2 and rescuing a vital point for the visitors. It was Kane’s 18th goal in all competitions for Bayern this season, underlining his clinical presence in decisive moments.

Yet this time, Kane’s magic wasn’t quite enough. The final whistle confirmed it: Bayern’s streak of 16 consecutive wins across all competitions had ended.

Tactical Notes & Reflections

Vincent Kompany’s Bayern side showed some defensive vulnerability, particularly in dealing with set-pieces and transitions — two areas Union exploited well. The midfield lacked control at times, and despite dominant possession, Bayern were forced to chase the game on multiple occasions.

While the draw keeps Bayern top of the table, it serves as a timely reminder that the Bundesliga title race is far from over — and that even with stars like Kane and Díaz in form, consistency at the back remains key.
