Kane Scores 400th Club Goal as Bayern Edge Dortmund in Der Klassiker

Kane Hits 400 as Bayern Claim Der Klassiker Bragging Rights

Harry Kane scored his 400th club goal as Bayern Munich defeated fierce rivals Borussia Dortmund 2-1 in a thrilling edition of Der Klassiker in Munich on Saturday.

The England captain opened the scoring with a trademark header in the 22nd minute, powering in Joshua Kimmich’s corner to put Bayern ahead and reach yet another personal milestone.

400 Club Goals & Counting: Kane’s Elite Journey

Kane’s goal marked his 21st of the season in just 12 appearances for club and country — an astonishing run of form that has seen him average a goal every 52 minutes.

Club Career Goal Breakdown:

• Tottenham Hotspur – 280

• Bayern Munich – 104 (since 2023)

• Millwall – 9

• Leyton Orient – 5

• Leicester City – 2

His journey began with a goal for Leyton Orient against Sheffield Wednesday in January 2011, and now, 14 years and 9 months later, he has become one of Europe’s most prolific strikers.

Olise Deflection Adds Bayern’s Second

Bayern doubled their lead in the second half through a bizarre own goal. Jobe Bellingham’s attempted clearance ricocheted off a sliding Michael Olise and looped into the net.

Despite a late fightback from Dortmund — Julian Brandt pulled one back in the 84th minute with a well-taken finish from Julian Ryerson’s cross — Bayern held firm to secure a crucial three points and remain top of the Bundesliga table.

Kane the Orchestrator

While Kane grabbed the headlines for his 400th goal, his overall contribution was immense. Dropping deep into midfield, he orchestrated attacks, linked up play, and launched multiple transitions from inside his own half.

“He’s not just a goalscorer — he’s the full package,” said Bayern manager Thomas Tuchel post-match.

Notably, Kane has scored in every game he has played this season except the 3-2 win over Augsburg in August — a match in which he still contributed two assists.

Bayern’s Perfect Start Rolls On

The win sees Bayern maintain their 100% winning start to the Bundesliga season, and adds another classic chapter to Germany’s fiercest football rivalry.

For Dortmund, the loss further dents their title ambitions, despite a spirited second-half showing.
