After eleven days of the championship, Bayern took provisional control of the Bundesliga with 29 points out of 33 possible this Saturday. Thomas Tuchel’s men are still undefeated and have only given up two points against Leverkusen (2-2) and two against RB Leipzig (2-2).
Bayer Leverkusen can regain its leadership position on Sunday, in the event of a victory over Union Berlin (3:30 p.m.), which has not taken a single point in the league since the second day at the end of August.
Kane and fashion record
On Saturday afternoon, Bayern broke out in a rather unnecessary cold sweat, since after leading by two goals at the break thanks to a double from Harry Kane, they let Heidenheim return to the game in the space of 150 seconds between the 67th and 70th minutes, on two errors.
Tim Kleindienst and Jan Niklas Beste took advantage and allowed Heidenheim to equalize, before Raphaël Guerreiro (73rd) and Choupo-Moting (85th) ensured a two-stage Munich victory against the promoted and Bundesliga novice.
This ninth victory this season in the league is once again largely due to Harry Kane.
After an acceleration from Leroy Sané on the right side, the England international (30) received the ball with his back to goal, got rid of his defender and placed his shot out of reach of Kevin Müller (14th).
Half an hour later, after a 90-meter counterattack where Bouna Sarr’s attempt was repelled by the Heidenheim goalkeeper, Sané found Kane at the penalty spot. With a header, the top scorer in the history of the English selection doubled the lead for Bayern (44th).

Guirassy decisive for his return
With 17 goals, Kane continues to improve the records in Germany, since no player had scored so many in the first eleven days of the championship. Before that, Robert Lewandowski had scored 16 during the 2019-2020 season.
The two top scorers in the Bundesliga last season, the German Niclas Füllkrug and the French Christopher Nkunku, stopped at 16 goals after 34 days.
In the league, Kane remained on a hat-trick in Dortmund (4-0), and in the Champions League on Wednesday, he signed his first double on Wednesday against Galatasaray (2-1) to ensure Bayern first place in their group.
Behind Bayern and Bayer, Stuttgart took advantage of the return from injury of its center forward Serhou Guirassy to win against Borussia Dortmund (2-1) and take 3rd place with 24 points.
Guirassy had missed the Swabian club’s last two matches, which ended in defeats, and scored the winning goal in the 83rd minute. The Guinean international has 15 goals and is close behind Kane.
The BVB is marking time after its defeat last week against Bayern, and is not riding on its good momentum in the Champions League (at the top of its group after notably two victories against Newcastle).
