Bundesliga 2025-26: Kane scores again as Bayern Union beat Berlin to extend lead at the top

Bayern Munich scored three times in seven minutes to edge past Union Berlin 4-0 in the Bundesliga on Saturday and open a 12-point lead at the top while moving closer to an all-time club record.

The Bavarians, chasing three trophies and just back from their midweek qualification for the Champions League quarter-final with a 10-2 aggregate win over Atalanta, are on 70 points, while Borussia Dortmund are in second place on 58 and will play Hamburg SV later.

Bayern have now scored 97 league goals, four short of equaling the all-time club record set in the 1971/72 Bundesliga campaign. Union managed to compete for half an hour before the hosts piled on the pressure, with teenager Lennart Karl, who earned a Germany call-up this week, hitting the post.

Michael Olise did better in the 42nd minute, firing past keeper Frederik Ronnow to give Bayern the lead. Serge Gnabry fired home the second in first-half stoppage time, before Bundesliga top scorer Harry Kane added another four minutes after the restart.

Kane, who is chasing Robert Lewandowski’s record of 41 goals in a single Bundesliga season, now has 31 league goals with seven games remaining.

Gnabry unleashed a powerful shot to score his second goal in the 67th minute as the one-way traffic continued and Olise hit the woodwork with a low drive late in the match before Kane almost added another but fired the ball wide.
