Bayern Munich 8-1 Mainz - Harry Kane scores hat-trick, moves on to 30 Bundesliga goals as champions romp to victory - Eurosport
In the Bundesliga game at home, Bayern Munich demolished Mainz 8-1, and Harry Kane scored a hat-trick, bringing his total goals for the season up to 30. This victory increased the team's chances of winning the Bundesliga title.
Thomas Tuchel's team, feeling assured after their advancement to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League during the week, started off incredibly strong with Kane expertly scoring from Musiala's pass in close proximity.
After seven minutes, a fast free-kick resulted in Leon Goretzka putting the ball in the net. The opposing team managed to score a goal when Nadiem Amiri struck the ball from far away, cutting the lead. Brajan Gruda had a chance to tie the game before halftime but he missed the target.
In the football match, Kane punished Mainz by scoring another goal in a clever way with a pass from Goretzka. The current titleholders seemed to have secured a win at the very beginning of the second half by Thomas Muller tapping in a cross from Musiala.
After taking a break due to injury, Serge Gnabry entered the game and scored a magnificent backheel goal from Goretzka's cross, which was his first goal since May. Kane also secured a hat-trick in the last 20 minutes of the game by scoring a goal from a corner at the far post.
Goretzka had the final say as he managed to score a second goal for his team during stoppage time. This outcome means that Bayern is now seven points behind Bayer Leverkusen, who are set to play against Wolfsburg next Sunday.
Bayern's Week: A Positive Conversation
The Bavarians have proven that they won't simply relinquish their Bundesliga title. They achieved a significant triumph, showing their strength. Although, Leverkusen is currently ahead by a comfortable margin, there's still nine more rounds of games left to play, making the situation tense and nerve-wracking for Xabi Alonso's team.
Their goal is to avoid making the same mistake as Borussia Dortmund did in the previous season on the last day of their competition.

I don't have enough words to describe how amazing the England striker has been in his debut season in Germany. He scored important goals against Lazio during the week, and he added three more goals in the last match - all of them were perfect finishes inside the penalty area.
