Bayern Munich had to work hard to beat newly promoted Elversberg in the league German Leaguewith Harry Kane’s second-half goal proving decisive in the 2–1 win.
Elversberg enjoyed a dream start to their first season in the Bundesliga, beating Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Mönchengladbach, but fell behind in the 26th minute when Lennart Karl fired the ball home at the far post from Ismail Saibari’s left-wing cross.
Elversberg’s Cole Campbell appeared to have equalized shortly before half-time but had his goal ruled out for offside, but the home side equalized in stunning fashion on the hour mark, when former Bayern player Maurice Krattenmacher curled the ball into the top right corner from the edge of the area.
Michael Olise hit the crossbar before Bayern restored their slender advantage with Kane’s ultimately decisive effort, the England striker scoring from Aleksandar Pavlovic’s pass.
