Bundesliga powerhouse Bayern Munich easily dispatched SV Darmstadt, a struggling team in the league.
Thomas Tuchel’s team approached the match with the clear aim of surpassing Bayern Leverkusen, led by Xabi Alonso, at the summit of the league table.
However, their strategy took an unforeseen twist when the Bavarian team faced a setback within the initial four minutes as midfielder Joshua Kimmich was caught off guard by Marvin Mehlem, resulting in their side being reduced to 10 players.
It seemed like everything was going awry for the Bundesliga powerhouse until center-back Klaus Gjasula committed a clumsy foul on Konrad Laimer, leading to his dismissal from the game.
As both teams had one player sent off, the match remained evenly contested until Croatian defender Matej Maglica blocked Harry Kane’s scoring chance and received a red card in the process.
According to reports, the first half of the game offered little to distinguish between the two teams, with the most notable aspect being the performance of the center referee, Martin Petersen, up to that point.
However, in the second half, Bayern Munich accelerated their performance and found the back of the net in just five minutes. Harry Kane scored his 12th goal of the season with an assist from fullback Noussair Mazraoui. Leroy Sane and midfielder Jamal Musiala swiftly added two more goals, securing a commanding 3-0 lead for Bayern before the 60th minute.
Sane scored another goal just four minutes later, and Kane extended the lead to five with a spectacular long-range strike in the 69th minute. Reports state that, Thomas Muller, Musiala, and a third goal from Kane sealed an impressive victory for Bayern. However, amidst the flurry of goals, it was Kane’s exceptional goal in the 69th minute that set social media ablaze.
After receiving a pass from Muller in his defensive half, the English captain delivered a stunning long-range shot that outwitted goalkeeper Marcel Schuhen, earning admiration from fans on social media.
