Harry Kane Scores Twice as Bayern Munich Come From Behind to Beat Borussia Dortmund 3‑2

Dortmund, Germany — March 1, 2026

Harry Kane delivered a spectacular performance as Bayern Munich staged a dramatic comeback to beat Borussia Dortmund 3‑2 in a thrilling Der Klassiker at Signal Iduna Park on Saturday. The victory extended Bayern’s lead at the top of the Bundesliga to 11 points, leaving Dortmund’s hopes of a first title since 2012 in serious jeopardy.

Dortmund took an early lead in the 26th minute when defender Nico Schlotterbeck rose highest to head home a Daniel Svensson free kick, sending the home crowd into raptures. Despite dominating possession with a front three of Luis Díaz, Michael Olise, and Kane, Bayern struggled to break through Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel before halftime.

The champions responded in spectacular fashion in the second half. Kane equalized in the 54th minute after a deft build-up involving Joshua Kimmich and Serge Gnabry, slotting a close-range finish past Kobel. Just 16 minutes later, Kane converted a penalty after Schlotterbeck fouled Josip Stanisic, scoring his tenth Bundesliga penalty of the season and completing his brace, marking another milestone in his remarkable season, which now totals 45 goals across all competitions. Kane also celebrated reaching 500 career goals earlier this month, adding extra significance to his performance.

The win makes Bayern the first team this season to overcome Dortmund at home in the league, highlighting their resilience and championship-winning mentality.

Bayern’s victory not only boosts their league position but also demonstrates the importance of experience and composure in high-pressure games, as they successfully navigated the intensity of one of Germany’s fiercest rivalries. Meanwhile, Dortmund, despite a strong performance, will need extraordinary results in the remaining fixtures to challenge Bayern’s supremacy.
