"Harry Kane scored a quickfire second-half double as 10-man Bayern Munich sealed their place in the Champions League round of 16 with a 2-0 win against Union Saint-Gilloise at Allianz Arena. Kane, who had failed to score in Bayern's previous three Champions League ties, struck twice in three minutes to take his season's goals tally in all competitions to 34 in 29 appearances."
"After going close to taking an early lead when USG goalkeeper Kjell Scherpen saved bravely at the feet of Kane following Luis Díaz's low cross, Bayern were given their first scare. USG defender Kevin Mac Allister just failed to latch on to Raul Florucz's excellent delivery and the visitors spurned an even better chance when unmarked striker Promise David headed straight at Manuel Neuer from in front of goal."
"The England skipper spurned the chance of a hat trick when his second-half penalty struck a post, while Bayern defender Kim Min-Jae was sent off midway through the second period. But Bayern's sixth win in seven matches in this season's competition saw them leapfrog Real Madrid back into second place in the table, three points behind leaders Arsenal. Belgian side USG lost for the fifth time in their debut season at this stage of the competition and appear set to miss out on the playoffs."
Bayern Munich secured progression to the Champions League round of 16 with a 2-0 victory over Union Saint-Gilloise, thanks to two quick goals from Harry Kane early in the second half. Kane's strikes came after a goalless first half in which USG had notable chances and goalkeeper Kjell Scherpen made a strong save. Kane missed a potential hat-trick when his penalty hit the post, and Bayern defender Kim Min-Jae was sent off later in the match. The win extended Bayern's unbeaten run to 11 games, moved them into second in the group, and left USG facing elimination.
