Four booths on Friday, 24 on Saturday and Union makes two in the first nine minutes. As soon as superstar Harry Kane is in the Bundesliga, goals fall like chestnuts in autumn. Coincidence? Perhaps. For this flood of hits there is the star of match day.
Yes, of course Harry Kane. Record transfer, superstar, already a fan favourite, first goal scorer, plus: all conceivable puns with his name were already out of date at the start of the Bundesliga: Do you want Kane with me? (stern), Feeling Hurri-Kane (Sky) Harry, drive up the car (Internet). That the London goal machine will make the already dominant FC Bayern even stronger and the Bundesliga even more boring – for free. Because the first seven games have already shown that there is still life in the booth and other players also have nice feet.
18 goals in three Saturday games alone
It rattled a whopping 28 times on Friday and Saturday alone, 18 of them in just three games. The Premier League needed the entire first day of the game to score that many goals. The 4:4 between Augsburg and Mönchengladbach was really fun, in other words in this country. The game seemed already decided after the 1:3 for the Rhinelanders before half-time. But then FC turned up the heat and took a 4:3 lead. Only a penalty in the seventh minute of injury by Gladbach’s Tomas Cvancara sealed the lively division of points.
1st Bundesliga matchday
Union Berlin with a dream start, BVB wins happily, Stuttgart storms the top of the table
On the other hand, VfB Stuttgart, a shaky candidate in the league, dealt with VfL Bochum, a competitor for the lower places, without frills. Captain Wataru Endo had left the Swabians for Liverpool just one day before the game, but that didn’t go down too badly. Silas then made everything clear in the second round within ten minutes. He is now the top scorer as a double scorer along with four (!) other double scorers: Leroy Sané, Serhou Guirassy, Tomas Cvancara and Jonas Wind.
Has Kane infected the Bundesliga?
As if that wasn’t enough, Union Berlin’s Kevin Behrens overtook the top group with a hat-trick on Sunday. He only needed the first nine minutes of the game – and the 70th. And then there was Bayer Leverkusen’s close 3-2 win over Leipzig in the top game and, of course, Bayern’s four goals against Bremen. Speaking of Harry Kane again. He contributed a goal to the opening win. Who knows, maybe he’s contagious, that is, his goal hunger – and the Bundesliga is now infected by the “Harry-Kania” virus. Then it would not only be of use to the permanent master. It would be desirable.
