Bayern Munich held by Dortmund as Kane misses Penalty in first game after Ballon d’Or win
Harry Kane endured a frustrating return to action after winning the 2026 Ballon d’Or as Bayern Munich were held to a dramatic 2-2 draw by Borussia Dortmund in Saturday’s Der Klassiker.
Konrad Laimer put Bayern ahead in the 38th minute, but Kane missed a penalty shortly after the restart, striking the crossbar in the 56th minute.
Serhou Guirassy capitalised to equalise for Dortmund before Dayot Upamecano restored Bayern’s advantage in the 66th minute, assisted by Kane.
However, substitute Fábio Silva struck in the 89th minute to secure a valuable point for Dortmund and preserve both teams’ unbeaten Bundesliga records after eight matches.
According to Opta Analyst, Kane finished without a shot on target from six attempts, although his assist took him to 10 direct goal involvements this season, with four goals and six assists. The result leaves Bayern and Dortmund level at the top of the Bundesliga standings.
