A lot of the evening was once irritating for Bayern as they have been held goalless till half-time after which, after Kane’s first spot-kick simply after the hour mark, struggled to seize a killer 2d.

Jamal Musiala had 10 of Bayern’s 31 photographs within the fit and was once denied via opposition goalkeeper Nediljko Labrovic on six events.

Each spot-kicks got here by way of VAR, the primary because of a handball from Mads Pedersen and the second one, in damage time, when Keven Schlotterbeck introduced the England striker down, resulting in the defender choosing up a 2d yellow card.

Insult to damage for the gutsy Augsburg defence got here simply prior to the overall whistle when Kane managed Leon Goretzka’s lengthy ball fantastically within the air after which headed house previous the fallen goalkeeper.
