"Bayern almost found themselves ahead inside the opening two minutes, but Union SG goalkeeper Kjell Scherpen was on hand to deny Kane from close range. The runaway Bundesliga leaders were frustrated throughout the first half and almost fell behind in the 20th minute, when Kevin Mac Allister slid a shot just wide from a free-kick. And the best chance of the half fell to the visitors 15 minutes before half-time, with Manuel Neuer producing a fine point-blank save from Promise David's powerful header."
"But just seven minutes after the restart, Bayern found the breakthrough when Kane brilliantly flicked Michael Olise's teasing corner from the right in at Scherpen's near post. Kane then doubled his and Bayern's tally from the penalty spot three minutes later, scoring emphatically from 12 yards after he was brought down by Scherpen in the area."
Harry Kane scored twice within three minutes early in the second half to secure a 2-0 win for Bayern Munich over Union Saint-Gilloise and confirm Bayern's place in the Champions League last 16. Bayern had an early chance and were frustrated in a goalless first half, with Promise David and Kevin Mac Allister creating threats that Manuel Neuer and the visitors nearly capitalized on. The opener came from a Kane flicked corner, followed by a penalty after Scherpen fouled Kane. Kim Min-jae received a second yellow and was sent off, and Kane later missed a second penalty, hitting the crossbar.
