Kane scores from the spot, Bayern lead at half-time in Wiesbaden | OneFootball

After a dominant first half against Wehen Wiesbaden, FC Bayern leads 1-0 at halftime. Harry Kane scored for the record cup winners from eleven meters.

Bayern had their first chance shortly after kickoff. Following a long pass from Jonas Urbig, Harry Kane set up Luis Díaz. However, Díaz's shot was too central and was saved by Wiesbaden keeper Florian Stritzel (1st minute).

Shortly after, Sacha Boey was held at the far post by former FCB youth player Ryan Johansson after a cross from Raphaël Guerreiro. The Frenchman went down, and referee Daniel Siebert pointed to the spot. From there, Kane confidently slotted the ball into the bottom right corner to make it 1-0 (16th minute). It was his 99th goal in his 99th game for Munich.

Soon after, Díaz had the next chance, but Stritzel once again made the save (20th minute). About seven minutes later, the Colombian had another opportunity for the second goal of the evening. A pass from Boey found the Colombian in the six-yard box, but a Wiesbaden player managed to get a leg in and temporarily prevented the 2-0 for FCB (27th minute).

Bayern continues to press

After a good half-hour, Stritzel once again distinguished himself. His teammates initially couldn't clear the ball from the penalty area, leaving it for Guerreiro, who attempted a shot from about six meters out (31st minute). The Wiesbaden goalkeeper was once again quick to react and cleared it for a corner.

Díaz remained active throughout the half. After Guerreiro set him up again, the Liverpool newcomer attempted a bicycle kick but couldn't get it on target (37th minute).

In a direct counterattack, the Wiesbaden hosts posed a threat for the first time. Fatih Kaya was prevented from scoring the equalizer from about 13 meters thanks to a tackle by Kim (37th minute). The follow-up shot by Nikolas Agrafiotis went over the goal.

Subsequently, the Munich team let the last minutes of the first half wind down a bit. Vincent Kompany's team continued to control the game but didn't create any more major scoring chances.
