With another goal on Saturday, Harry Kane maintained his incredible start to life at Bayern Munich, helping his club defeat Mainz 3-1. In the sixteenth minute, after Kingsley Coman had given Bayern the lead, the England captain headed in from close range. Later, just before the break, Anthony Caci gave Mainz, who had defeated the defending German champions three times in their previous home league games, a little reprieve.
In the second half, Stefan Bell, a defender for Mainz, missed a counterattack that would have tied the score despite being just centimeters away from leveling for the side. However, Leon Goretzka's low shot a minute later completed the victory for the visitors, leaving Bayern in third place with 20 points, two points behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen and one point behind Stuttgart in second.
