According to match reports, the emphatic win lifted manager Vincent Kompany’s squad to the top of the Bundesliga standings ahead of the international break.
Match Overview and Tactical Setup
Manager Vincent Kompany adjusted his starting lineup significantly following a hard-fought 2-1 victory in Elversberg, making six changes that featured the returns of Joshua Kimmich and Luis Díaz. The squad had to navigate a late setback when Konrad Laimer was ruled out prior to kickoff due to minor adductor tightness. Union Berlin deployed a deep, compact defensive block designed to stifle the hosts, frustrating the Munich attack during the opening stages of the match.
The defensive resistance held for 18 minutes before Alphonso Davies manufactured the breakthrough on the left flank. Davies drove forward and delivered a pass to Jamal Musiala, who struck a powerful shot from a half-left position past the goalkeeper to open the scoring.
Harry Kane Reaches the Century Mark
Following an infraction on Michael Olise inside the penalty area in the 39th minute, Kane stepped up to convert the spot-kick cleanly for his 100th Bundesliga goal. Match records show the milestone arrived in just his 98th appearance in the competition.
The English striker was not finished for the evening. Shortly after the second-half restart, in the 54th minute, Kimmich sent Olise down the right side. Olise whipped in an accurate cross that Kane met with a header to log his 101st league goal of his career, extending the lead to 4-0.
Michael Olise Claims First Hat-Trick
Olise’s scoring sequence began in the closing moments of the first half. Union briefly threatened after the restart through attempts by Janik Haberer and a header from Tom Rothe, but goalkeeper Manuel Neuer turned both efforts away to preserve the clean sheet.

Substitute Ismael Saibari added a fifth goal in the 70th minute by maneuvering past multiple defenders in the box. Minutes later, Tom Bischof delivered a long ball that Olise collected, rounded the goalkeeper, and tucked in off the post for the sixth goal. Olise capped his performance in the 76th minute, running onto a back-heel pass from Bischof before curling a shot into the right corner to seal the 7-0 final score.
Standings Impact and Upcoming Schedule
With the comprehensive win, Bayern Munich takes over first place in the Bundesliga table on a temporary basis as domestic action pauses for international fixtures. A large portion of the squad will now depart for national team duty over the next two weeks.
Bayern Munich returns to competitive play on October 10, when the club travels to face FC Augsburg in their next league fixture.
