Despite the win, Nigerian and Super Eagles midfielder Frank Onyeka had a challenging night on the pitch.
He played the full 90 minutes but managed to complete only eight passes, a statistic that starkly contrasts with his defensive contributions.
)
Off the ball, Onyeka excelled with a perfect 100% tackle success rate, alongside four interceptions, two clearances, and two recoveries.
His performance defensively was commendable, but his limited impact in possession highlighted a difficult outing for him and his team.
)
Kane’s hat-trick included two penalties and a third goal scored with a header after Augsburg was reduced to ten men.
This performance not only solidified Bayern's position at the top of the league but also underscored Kane's remarkable start to his second season in Germany, where he has now netted 14 goals in just 12 games.
)
Overall, while Bayern celebrated their sixth consecutive win and Kane's record-setting achievement, Onyeka's struggles on the ball reflected the broader challenges faced by Augsburg during the match.
The Bavarians dominated proceedings at the Arena with 80% of the possession compared to 20 for their visitors.
)
This dominance led to 33 shots, 14 of them on target, four big chances created and 92% pass accuracy. However, the home side had to rely on the VAR twice to finally break down the stubborn defensive wall led by Nigeria’s Onyeka and his teammates.
With the win, Vincent Kompany’s Munich are now eight points clear at the top of the table with 29 points, with defending champions Victor Boniface’s Bayer Leverkusen 12 points behind in fourth.
