Bayern win the German Cup, Kane shines with a hat-trick

Harry Kane scored all three goals as Bayern Munich capped a dominant season in Germany with a 3-0 victory over Stuttgart in the DFB-Pokal final.

Bayern won the trophy for the first time since 2020 and broke records by reaching a total of 139 goals in all domestic competitions this season.

The final was played at the “Olympiastadion” in Berlin, where Stuttgart started the match better and created the first chances through Deniz Undav and Maximilian Mittelstädt, but goalkeeper Jonas Urbig reacted well.

Bayern then took control of the game and began threatening through Josip Stanišić, while the first half ended goalless.

In the second half, Michael Olise delivered a perfect assist from the right wing and Kane headed in to make it 1-0.

After a lengthy stoppage due to smoke and the fiery atmosphere in the stadium, Bayern continued to dominate.

Konrad Laimer missed a good chance after a move by Luis Díaz, but Kane made no mistake later on.

The English striker scored his second with a fine turn and a low shot inside the box, before completing his hat-trick from the penalty spot after Angelo Stiller handled the ball.

With this performance, Kane became the first player to score three goals in a DFB-Pokal final since Robert Lewandowski in 2012.

For Bayern, this was their 21st German Cup trophy in just 26 finals played – at least 15 more than any other club.

Meanwhile, Stuttgart missed out on the trophy, but fans can take comfort in the fact that the team will return to the Champions League next season.
