The milestone was achieved in his 98th Bundesliga appearance, eclipsing Dieter Müller’s 49‑year‑old record of 129 matches set in 1977.
Record‑Breaking Performance
Kane’s 100th goal arrived from a 39th‑minute penalty, a moment that instantly shifted the narrative of the match. A few minutes later, he converted a Michael Olise cross to make it 2‑0, and a second half header by Olise added another, ensuring Bayern’s dominance on the score sheet. The German side’s offensive prowess was on full display, with Jamal Musiala also finding the net and Michael Olise completing a hat‑trick.
After the final whistle, Kane reflected on the achievement: “I’m very proud to have now scored 100 and 101 Bundesliga goals. I haven’t been around that long. I’ve loved every second of it.” He credited his teammates and the club’s staff for the support that made the record possible.
