Overview
- Bayern beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1 with Harry Kane scoring in the 22nd minute and Michael Olise adding the winner in the 78th before Julian Brandt pulled one back late.
- The victory extended Bayern’s run to 11 straight wins across all competitions to start the season.
- Kane described the Dortmund display as one of his best, noting he played a deeper, box-to-box role focused on defending, second balls, and long passing.
- Vincent Kompany confirmed Serge Gnabry and Josip Stanišić are unavailable for the Oct. 22 Champions League home match, as he manages fatigue and potential rotation after a demanding Klassiker finish.
- Club Brugge arrive with a 4-1 win over Monaco and a 2-1 loss at Atalanta in Europe, and coach Nicky Hayen said his side will try to make Bayern doubt themselves.
