Bayern Munich maintained his flawless start in the Bundesliga by beating Hoffenheim on Saturday with 4-1 after Harry Kane scored two penalties and caught up with his ninth hat trick for the German competition leader.
It was Kane’s second hat trick of the campaign, after a second half of Treble in Bayern’s season opener against RB Leipzig, and he clearly moved five strikes at the top of the score cards with eight competition goals in four games.
The victory moved Bayern to 12 points, while Hoffenheim lags six points in eighth place.
Vincent Kompany made the team five changes that Chelsea defeated in their Champions League opener on Wednesday, with the 17-year-old winger Lennart Karl became the second-jongest player who starts for Bayern in the Bundesliga.
Hoffenheim created several promising opportunities early on, in particular by Fisnik Asllani and Alexander Prass, with the home team that Manuel Neuer test several times, while he also hit the mail on one occasion.
Bayern looked like it could be made to work for his three points on a warm day in the southwestern Germany, and it was Karl who was impressed by his energy and back pressure.

With the first half that threatens to end aimlessly, the young person delivered himself when he helped Kane for the opener from a corner.
When the teenager Kane saw that he lost his marker, he bustled a low cross in the box, where the English striker hit, shot the ball in the nearby pole to beat goalkeeper Oliver Baumann and give Bayern the lead at rest.
Karl took almost Bayern’s second goal when he was haunting the flank to steal the ball of Hoffenheim’s defenders, but his pace took him away from the goal and he did not have the power to score when Baumann stopped his tame shot.
Bayern earns two penalties
Bayern had the opportunity to double his lead early in the second half from the penalty spot when the referee saw a handball in the box when the ball remained the arm of Albian Hajdari and VAR confirmed the decision.
Kane had missed a penalty in the DFB-Pokal Cup competition, but never in the Bundesliga, and he kept his record of 100 percent in despite a break in his run-up and shot his shot low in the bottom corner to beat Baumann, who had dived in the right direction.
Hoffenheim seemed to let the wind hit his sails, and it went from bad to worse when it took a second penalty after Michael Olise was polluted when he entered the box, where the referee checked the repeat before he points to the place.
Kane stepped up again and this time he sent Baumann in the wrong direction.
Hoffenheim finally stepped on the plate of a free kick where Vladimir Coufal sent the ball in the box with pace, and Joshua Kimmich put out his leg to stop, just to deviate it from Neuer, who had no time to respond.
The home team had nine minutes of injury time to try to find another goal, but it was Bayern who brought the game out of reach when a rebound of Baumann’s salvation fell on Serge Gnobry, who shot home from a tight corner to make it 4-1.
