Kane Nets Brace as Bayern Cruise Past Pafos in UCL

Kane Extends Scoring Streak as Bayern Smash Pafos 5-1

Harry Kane’s sensational form shows no signs of stopping, as the England captain struck twice in Bayern Munich’s emphatic 5-1 win away at Pafos in the Champions League group stage.

Kane, 32, now has 102 goals in 105 games since his high-profile £86.4m move from Tottenham in 2023. His form this season is blistering: 17 goals in just 9 club appearances, plus one for England in their recent 5-0 win over Serbia.

Clinical Bayern Blow Away UCL Newcomers

Cypriot side Pafos were hosting their first ever Champions League home game, but their historic night quickly turned into a learning experience at the hands of the six-time European champions.

  • 15’ – Kane opened the scoring with a clinical first-time finish after Michael Olise’s assist

  • 20’Raphael Guerreiro doubled the lead following strong wing play by Nicolas Jackson

  • 27’ – Jackson added Bayern’s third, converting from another Olise delivery

  • 34’ – Kane tapped in his second of the night, making it 4-0 before half-time

  • 42’ – Pafos pulled one back through Mislav Orsic, who curled home brilliantly from 20 yards

  • 66’Olise got the goal his performance deserved, smashing in from a tight angle to round off the rout

Kane’s Form Reaches New Heights

With 11 goals in his past five matches, Kane is Europe’s most prolific striker so far in the 2025-26 campaign.

“He’s the complete forward. His movement, finishing, and leadership continue to elevate us,” Bayern manager Xabi Alonso told reporters post-match.

Bayern’s Perfect Start Continues

  • 9 wins in 9 games this season

  • 35 goals scored in all competitions

  • Top of the Bundesliga

  • 2 wins from 2 in the Champions League group stage

Bayern’s cohesion and ruthless attack, boosted by Olise’s creativity and Jackson’s integration, make them one of the tournament favourites once again.

What’s Next?

Bayern Munich will next turn their attention back to the Bundesliga this weekend before continuing their European campaign in late October.

Pafos, despite the loss, will take positives from Orsic’s goal and the experience of facing one of the continent’s best.
