Minute-by-minute: how the match unfolded

Early tempo & first blood

Bayern set the tone early by pressing high and using full-back overlaps to overload Bremen’s defensive lines. That early pressure paid when Jonathan Tah rose highest from a set piece to head Bayern in front, forcing Bremen to open up and search for answers. VAVEL and live feeds tracked Bayern’s early dominance and the increasing number of chances created in the first 20 minutes.

Half-time swing: Kane from the spot

As the half wore on, Bayern continued probing. The visitors’ stubborn defending couldn’t hold indefinitely — a Bremen foul in the box handed Bayern a penalty, which Kane converted to make it 2–0 at the break. Reports noted Kane’s remarkable penalty run and clinical finishing in pressure moments.

Second half: the century arrives

The second half saw Bayern control possession, then strike with ruthless efficiency. In the 65th minute Kane finished smartly from close range to bring up his 100th Bayern goal — a historical landmark widely covered by AP, ESPN and Bundesliga outlets. After the goal, Bayern eased the pressure, carried out planned substitutions, and still found time to add a fourth to round out a dominant night. (San Mateo Daily Journal)

Closing minutes: game management

After Kane’s milestone, Bayern’s focus shifted to energy management ahead of upcoming Champions League travel and to preserving their defensive clean sheet. Bremen pushed late but created few clear chances; Bayern’s defensive shape and goalkeeper management preserved the shutout.

Player spotlight — who defined the night

Harry Kane — clinical & historic

Kane was the headline: two goals (including a penalty) and the 100-goal landmark in just 104 games for Bayern — a record pace that eclipses Cristiano Ronaldo and Erling Haaland’s previous benchmarks at Real Madrid and Manchester City respectively. Kane’s movement between the lines, hold-up play and calm from the spot were the beating heart of Bayern’s attack. (Talksport)

Why it matters: Kane’s efficiency and consistency at Bayern — and now a record that sits among club legends — changes both how opponents plan for Bayern and how Bayern can plan rotation across competitions. (Forbes)

Jonathan Tah & Defensive Unit

Tah’s header to open the scoring set the tone. Bayern’s defensive line absorbed Bremen’s limited pressure and neutralized the visitors’ main outlets. The backline’s discipline allowed Bayern to press confidently and launch quick counters.

Luis Díaz & Creative Pieces

Díaz’s progressive runs and link-up passes created space for Kane to operate centrally; his assist for Kane’s 100th was a textbook example of Bayern’s interplay between width and central penetration.

 

Tactical analysis — why Bayern were dominant

1) Pressing & verticality

Bayern’s press forced Bremen into errors in early passages, and the immediate vertical passes after turnover allowed Bayern to create high-quality chances. The interplay between midfielders and wingers opened corridors for Kane to exploit.

2) Overloads out wide

With fullbacks providing width and wingers tucking inside, Bayern created numerical superiority on the flanks, which stretched Bremen’s compact lines and created crossing/penetration lanes for Kane and Díaz. This was especially effective on Bayern’s famed right-side transitions.

3) Set-piece efficiency

Bayern converted a set-piece into their opener — a sign that they’d drilled dead-ball scenarios in training. Against a team that defends deep, set pieces become marginal but decisive advantages.

4) Game management & rotation

After establishing a lead, Vincent Kompany rotated intelligently to preserve legs ahead of European commitments. Managing minutes for a high-workload squad is part of a title-contending machine.

Werder’s problems — why they were exposed

1) Transition vulnerability

When Bremen lost possession, their midfield struggled to recover shape quickly enough. Bayern’s pace on the break punished that delay, producing decisive moments such as Kane’s offense.

2) Lack of chance creation

Bremen created very few shots on target and struggled to test Bayern’s goalkeeper seriously. A combination of Bayern’s defense and Bremen’s attacking bluntness accounted for the meagre threat.

3) Set-piece defending

Giving up a headed opener from a set piece revealed poor marking or concentration lapses that Bremen must address before tougher fixtures. (Bulinews)

Tactical takeaways for coaches & analysts

• Bayern blueprint: press high; overload wings; make early chances count; use set-pieces; rotate for competitions.
• Bremen remediation: tighten transition coverage, improve set-piece marking, generate more high-quality chances to avoid being pinned back.
• Opponents’ homework: teams facing Bayern will need to find ways to stop Kane’s central access — isolating him from service or denying the half-spaces will be priority. (OneFootball)

Statistical snapshot & league context

• Perfect domestic start: Bayern extended a perfect start in the Bundesliga — five wins from five (season snapshot varied by day but match reports reference a run of clean results).

• Head-to-head historical context: Bayern’s dominance in recent H2H meetings with Bremen continues; Bremen have rarely claimed wins at Allianz in recent seasons and the result reinforced that pattern.
