Bayern Munich took another big step toward winning the Bundesliga title with a 4-0 victory over Heidenheim. Harry Kane scored his 24th league goal of the season. Konrad Laimer, Kingsley Coman, and Joshua Kimmich also scored in the match.
Bayern Munich Pulls Ahead in the Bundesliga Race
With this win, Bayern are now nine points ahead of second-place Bayer Leverkusen. Leverkusen still have a game to play against St Pauli on Sunday. “It was a very important step towards the title,” said Kimmich. He added that Bayern need at least two more wins to secure the championship.
Kane Scores Early as Bayern Show No Mercy
After being knocked out of the Champions League by Inter Milan earlier in the week, Bayern responded with a strong performance. Harry Kane scored just 12 minutes into the game after a quick turn and shot. This brings him to 60 goals in his first 60 Bundesliga matches.
Bayern Dominates the First Half
Seven minutes after Harry Kane’s opening goal, Konrad Laimer doubled Bayern’s lead with a well-timed finish following a clever pass from Serge Gnabry. Kingsley Coman then made it 3-0 after tapping in a rebound from a Raphael Guerreiro shot that was initially saved by Heidenheim’s goalkeeper.
Joshua Kimmich sealed the victory in the 56th minute with a composed finish from another Guerreiro assist. The goal marked Kimmich’s second of the season, further underlining Bayern’s dominant display as they cruised to a 4-0 victory.
Title Could Be Secured Soon
If other results go in their favor, Bayern could win their 34th Bundesliga title as early as next week.
