MUNICH, Germany, September 19, 2026: Michael Olise scored his first hat-trick for Bayern Munich and Harry Kane became the fastest player in Bundesliga history to reach 100 goals as the German champions dismantled Union Berlin 7-0 at the Allianz Arena on Friday night.
Jamal Musiala opened the scoring in the 18th minute before Kane converted a penalty for his landmark 100th Bundesliga goal. Olise made it 3-0 before halftime, Kane headed in his 101st league goal after the break, and substitute Ismael Saibari joined the scoring before Olise struck twice in three minutes to complete the rout.
For Bayern, the result was considerably more than another large home victory. Vincent Kompany’s side moved provisionally to the top of the Bundesliga with 10 points from four matches, while Kane added another scoring record to a career that has accelerated rather than slowed since his move to Germany.
The official Bundesliga match report confirmed the seven goals and Olise’s treble, while Bayern’s official match report recorded a capacity crowd of 75,000 at the Allianz Arena.

Musiala Opens the Door, Then Bayern Stop Letting Union Breathe
Bayern’s first serious attack came almost immediately, with Olise cutting inside from the right and testing Frederik Rønnow before two minutes had been played. It was an early warning of where the pressure would come from.
Union survived until the 18th minute.
Alphonso Davies found Musiala, who shifted the ball into shooting space and drove his finish into the far top corner. The goal rewarded Bayern’s territorial control and forced Union into a much more difficult version of the match they had prepared for.
Trying to protect a compact shape against Bayern is one problem. Trying to do it while trailing at the Allianz Arena creates another.
Bayern had already demonstrated how quickly their attacking depth can turn a competitive game into a heavy defeat during their 5-1 opening-day victory over Stuttgart. Union were about to experience an even more severe version of that problem.
Harry Kane Reaches 100 Bundesliga Goals Faster Than Anyone Before Him
The evening’s defining historical moment arrived six minutes before halftime.
Olise was brought down inside the penalty area and Kane took responsibility from the spot. He sent Rønnow the wrong way and reached 100 Bundesliga goals in only his 98th league appearance for Bayern.
No player has reached that total faster.
Dieter Müller, the previous record holder, required 129 Bundesliga appearances to reach 100 goals for Köln. Kane therefore arrived at the landmark more than 30 matches earlier than the previous benchmark, according to the Bundesliga’s official record review.
Kane was not finished.
In the 54th minute, Olise delivered a precise cross and Kane headed in from close range. His second goal of the night took him to 101 Bundesliga goals.
The milestone strengthens a remarkable scoring record that was already difficult to place in normal context. Kane entered this season after winning his second European Golden Shoe following a 36-goal Bundesliga campaign.
His scoring has also kept him prominent in the wider individual-awards conversation. The Sports Encounter recently examined how Kane’s numbers compare with Erling Haaland, Lionel Messi and the other leading names in the 2026 Ballon d’Or race.
Reaching 100 league goals in fewer appearances than anyone in Bundesliga history gives that case another extraordinary statistic.
Michael Olise Turns a Great Night Into His First Bayern Hat-Trick
Kane owned the historical headline. Olise was the outstanding attacker on the field.
His contribution began before he scored. The France international drew the foul that produced Kane’s penalty and continually attacked Union from the right, moving inside whenever space opened between the visitors’ midfield and defensive lines.
Olise scored his first in the 43rd minute after Musiala laid the ball into his path. The finish curled beyond Rønnow and into the top corner, sending Bayern into halftime 3-0 ahead.
He then created Kane’s second goal with an accurate cross nine minutes after the restart.
By the closing stages, Union’s defensive structure had largely disappeared.
Tom Bischof released Olise in the 73rd minute, allowing him to round Rønnow and finish for 6-0. Three minutes later the pair combined again, this time with Olise receiving centrally before curling a left-footed strike from outside the penalty area into the corner.
The seventh completed Olise’s first hat-trick for Bayern.
His start to the season has already included decisive contributions against Stuttgart and a two-goal finish in Bayern’s 5-0 Champions League victory over Bodø/Glimt. Against Union, finishing, creation and movement came together in the same performance.
Saibari Shows Why Bayern’s Bench Can Make Bad Nights Worse
By the time Ismael Saibari entered for Luis Díaz in the 63rd minute, Bayern were already four goals ahead.
Seven minutes later, he had added a fifth.
Davies carried the move forward before Saibari navigated his way through the defensive traffic and beat Rønnow. The goal underlined another uncomfortable feature of Bayern’s attacking structure for opponents: Kompany can change personnel without necessarily reducing the pressure.
Bischof provided both assists for Olise’s final two goals after replacing Aleksandar Pavlović. Serge Gnabry and Nathaniel Brown were also introduced later.
Bayern’s ability to generate attacking production from multiple areas has been visible since the opening weekend. Their five goals against Stuttgart came from several different contributors even though Kane did not score.
That attacking variety was one reason Bayern’s goalless draw at Schalke on Matchday 2 was so unusual. The Sports Encounter’s Bundesliga Matchday 2 analysis examined how Loris Karius and Schalke ended Bayern’s 59-match league scoring streak.
Bayern have responded emphatically since then.
Union Berlin’s Defensive Numbers Have Become Impossible to Ignore
Union began the season with a 3-3 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt. They then lost 4-0 to Bayer Leverkusen before Schalke beat them 3-1 in Berlin.
The Sports Encounter’s analysis of the Schalke defeat highlighted a problem that possession figures could not hide: Union were allowing opponents to reach decisive areas far too efficiently.
Bayern took that weakness apart.
After four Bundesliga matches, Union have conceded 17 goals and collected only one point.
The 7-0 defeat was especially damaging because the visitors did briefly create chances after halftime. Janik Haberer and Tom Rothe forced Manuel Neuer into saves, showing that Bayern were not completely untouchable.
Those moments never threatened the direction of the match.
Union’s own official match report described Bayern as ruthless after the hosts gradually took control. The problem for Mauro Lustrinelli is that the defensive damage is no longer confined to one difficult trip to Munich.
Bayern Have Answered Their Schalke Warning Quickly
The 0-0 draw at Schalke created the first genuine interruption to Bayern’s season.
They had opened by beating Stuttgart 5-1 but then failed to score despite dominating possession and chances against the promoted club.
The response has been convincing.
Bayern won 2-1 at Elversberg, scored five times against Bodø/Glimt in Europe and have now put seven past Union.
The wider Bundesliga picture had been unusually open through the first three matchdays. Freiburg and Borussia Dortmund entered the weekend perfect, while Bayern began Matchday 4 behind the early leaders. The Sports Encounter’s Matchday 3 review tracked the developing title picture before Bayern’s Friday-night opportunity.
Seven goals later, Bayern have placed the pressure back on everyone playing after them.

Why Olise and Kane Make This Bayern Attack So Difficult to Contain
The most revealing part of the performance was how the two leading attackers damaged Union in different ways.
Kane occupied central defenders, converted the penalty, attacked Olise’s cross for his second goal and continued linking play when he dropped away from the penalty area.
Olise created problems from a wider starting position.
Union had to decide whether to allow him space outside or send defenders toward him when he moved infield. Neither option worked consistently. If the defense narrowed, Davies had room to advance. If it stayed wider, Olise could combine with Musiala or Kane through the inside channels.
The Frenchman’s three goals were the obvious reward, but the penalty won and assist for Kane illustrated the larger problem.
Stopping Olise as a scorer did not remove his ability to create. Protecting against his passing did not prevent him from attacking the goal himself.
What Bayern Munich’s 7-0 Win Means for the Bundesliga
Bayern finished Friday night on 10 points from four Bundesliga matches and moved provisionally to the top of the table before the remainder of Matchday 4.
That position may change as the weekend continues, but the goal difference created by a seven-goal victory matters even at this early stage.

More important is the attacking trend.
Bayern have already scored five against Stuttgart and seven against Union in their first two home league matches. They have also produced a five-goal Champions League victory at the Allianz Arena.
The Schalke draw proved they can still be frustrated.
The matches around it show what can happen when an opponent’s resistance breaks.
What Comes Next for Bayern Munich and Union Berlin?
The Bundesliga now pauses for the international break.
Bayern return to league action on October 10 with an away match against Augsburg. Kompany’s side will resume the campaign carrying 10 points and a goal difference significantly strengthened by Friday’s rout.
Union Berlin return on the same day at home against newly promoted Elversberg.
For Union, the break provides time to address a defensive record that has already become the central issue of their season.
Bayern face a very different challenge. Their task is to preserve the fluency that produced seven goals while integrating players returning from international duty.
Kane’s 100th Bundesliga goal will survive long after the early-season table has changed. Olise’s hat-trick may prove just as significant if this performance becomes the point when his influence moved from excellent support act to one of Bayern’s defining attacking forces.
