Bayern Munich secured a 2-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday, with striker Harry Kane netting a goal in each half, offering an auspicious preview ahead of their Champions League semifinal clash against Real Madrid.
Kane opened the scoring in the ninth minute, capitalizing on a Konrad Laimer assist to put Bayern ahead early in the game. Despite Eintracht Frankfurt leveling the score with Hugo Ekitike's strike from 18 meters in the 23rd minute, Kane restored Bayern's lead with a penalty just after the hour mark, marking his 35th league goal and his 400th career goal at senior level.
However, Bayern faced setbacks as both Laimer and Matthijs de Ligt had to be substituted due to injuries during the match. Despite the injuries, Bayern maintained their composure and held on to secure the victory, maintaining their second-place position in the Bundesliga standings with three games remaining. With 69 points accumulated, Bayern remains 11 points adrift of league leaders Bayer Leverkusen, who are set to face third-placed VfB Stuttgart later on Saturday.
The win serves as a morale boost for Bayern Munich as they gear up for their crucial Champions League semifinal clash against Real Madrid on Tuesday. With Kane's clinical performance and milestone achievements, Bayern will aim to carry this momentum into the upcoming European fixture as they seek to advance further in the prestigious tournament.
