Bayern Munich 7-0 Union Berlin: Kane Makes Bundesliga History as Olise Hits Hat-Trick
Bayern Munich produced their most emphatic Bundesliga performance of the new season on Friday night, dismantling Union Berlin 7-0 at the Allianz Arena as Michael Olise scored a hat-trick and Harry Kane reached 100 Bundesliga goals faster than any player in the competition's history.
The defending German champions turned what had initially looked like a disciplined Union Berlin defensive effort into a one-sided rout. Jamal Musiala opened the scoring in the 18th minute before Kane converted a penalty in the 39th minute to reach his historic century of Bundesliga goals.
Olise made it 3-0 shortly before half-time and Bayern never eased off after the interval. Kane scored again in the 54th minute, substitute Ismael Saibari added a fifth, and Olise struck twice in three minutes to complete his hat-trick and seal a remarkable 7-0 victory.

Harry Kane Becomes the Fastest Player to 100 Bundesliga Goals
Kane's penalty was more than just Bayern's second goal of the evening. It was his 100th Bundesliga goal, a landmark he reached in only his 98th league appearance for Bayern Munich.
That made Kane the fastest player in Bundesliga history to reach 100 goals, comfortably beating the previous record held by Dieter Müller, who needed 129 matches to reach the same total. Kane then headed in Bayern's fourth goal after the break to move on to 101 Bundesliga goals.
The achievement adds another extraordinary number to Kane's spell in Germany. Since arriving at Bayern, his scoring rate has remained among the highest ever seen in the Bundesliga, and the Union Berlin match provided another reminder of how efficiently he turns Bayern's attacking dominance into goals.
Michael Olise Takes Centre Stage With a Hat-Trick
Kane's record was one of the biggest headlines, but Olise was Bayern's most destructive attacking player on the night. The French winger scored three goals, won the penalty converted by Kane and supplied the cross for Kane's second goal.
His first came from the edge of the penalty area shortly before half-time. After the break, he continued to torment the Union defence, eventually rounding goalkeeper Frederik Rønnow for his second before curling another finish into the top corner three minutes later to complete the hat-trick.
It was Olise's first senior club hat-trick and capped a performance in which he was involved in several of Bayern's most dangerous attacks.
Why Bayern Were So Dominant
The scoreline was backed up by the underlying numbers. Bayern finished with 23 shots to Union Berlin's three, while 15 of Bayern's attempts were on target compared with only two for the visitors.
Bayern also repeatedly pinned Union inside their own half. Their counter-pressing prevented the visitors from building attacks, while the movement of Musiala, Olise, Luis Díaz and Kane continually created gaps around Union's defensive block.
Bayern recorded 55 touches in the opposition penalty area compared with just five for Union. Expected-goals figures also heavily favoured the home side, reflecting the difference in both chance volume and quality.
Jamal Musiala Sets the Tone
Musiala's 18th-minute opener was crucial because Union had initially succeeded in staying compact. Alphonso Davies helped win the ball and created the opening before Musiala finished into the far corner.
Once Bayern went ahead, Union increasingly struggled to contain the home side's speed and combination play. Musiala later provided the assist for Olise's first goal and completed the full match as his return to regular minutes continued.
Bundesliga Standings After Bayern Munich 7-0 Union Berlin
The victory moved Bayern Munich to 10 points from four matches, putting them provisionally top of the Bundesliga immediately after Friday night's game. Bayern's record stood at three wins and one draw with a goal difference of +12.
Freiburg and Borussia Dortmund both entered the rest of Matchday 4 on nine points from three matches, so the exact league order remained subject to the weekend's remaining fixtures.
Union Berlin, meanwhile, were left with one point from four matches and a goal difference of -13 immediately after the defeat. Their difficult opening to the campaign continued after failing to win any of their first four league games.

What the Result Means for Bayern
Bayern had taken seven points from their opening three Bundesliga matches, but their previous two league performances had been much tighter: a goalless draw against Schalke followed by a 2-1 win over Elversberg. The seven-goal victory against Union was therefore a major step up in attacking output.
It also arrived immediately before the extended international break, giving Vincent Kompany's side a commanding result to take into the pause in domestic football.
For Union Berlin, the concern was not only the size of the defeat but the manner in which Bayern were able to accelerate after half-time. Union briefly threatened early in the second half, forcing Manuel Neuer into saves, but the match quickly moved beyond them once Kane scored Bayern's fourth.
Final Score: Bayern Munich 7-0 Union Berlin
Bayern's win will be remembered for two individual milestones: Olise's first club hat-trick and Kane's record-breaking 100th Bundesliga goal. But the wider story was the scale of Bayern's dominance. Seven goals, 23 shots and sustained pressure from the opening minutes to the closing stages made this one of the most convincing performances of the Bundesliga season so far.
