"On this occasion, using the stutter step, I waited for the goalkeeper to move. He moved a little early and once he went one way, it would be hard for him to go the other way,"
"I decided [to go for the other corner] in that moment. Sometimes, I make penalties look easy, but they are still a high pressure moment and you have to be able to step up and handle that. I practice to give myself the best chances and it is nice to see another go in today."
Harry Kane converted a penalty with a stutter step, waiting for the goalkeeper to move and then placing the ball in the opposite corner. The penalty occurred after more than an hour in a DFB Pokal quarter-final tie that was 0-0 against Rasenballsport Leipzig. Kane's success from the spot continued a superb penalty record at Bayern Munich. Kane relies on practice to manage high-pressure moments and uses techniques such as a stutter step to provoke early goalkeeper movement. The successful penalty opened scoring and helped Bayern secure the win.
