Harry Kane reaches 100 Bundesliga goals in 98 matches, breaks 49-year record
Harry Kane scored his 100th Bundesliga goal in his 98th league match for Bayern Munich on September 18, breaking Dieter Müller's record of 129 matches set in 1977. Kane reached the milestone in Bayern's 7-0 victory over Union Berlin, with a 39th-minute penalty.
Harry Kane scored his 100th Bundesliga goal in his 98th league match for Bayern Munich on September 18, breaking Dieter Müller's record of 100 goals in 129 matches, a mark that had stood since 1977, per Guardian Sport reporting.
Kane reached the milestone with a 39th-minute penalty in Bayern's 7-0 victory over Union Berlin. He scored again early in the second half from a Michael Olise cross, according to Guardian Sport.
Since his arrival at Bayern in 2023, Kane has averaged a Bundesliga goal every 78.5 minutes, per the same reporting. Across all competitions, Kane has scored 152 goals in 154 appearances, including 61 goals in 51 matches last season, according to Guardian Sport.
Michael Olise scored his first Bayern hat-trick in the same match, per Guardian Sport. Kane told Sky Germany after the game, "I'm very proud to have now scored 100 and 101 Bundesliga goals."
Kane broke a 49-year-old Bundesliga record by reaching 100 goals in 31 fewer matches than the previous mark held by Dieter Müller.
Kane's 31-match advantage over Müller's record pace underscores his exceptional finishing consistency; his next milestone will be tracking whether he extends this goal-per-match ratio as Bayern pursues both domestic and European competition targets through the season.
