First-Half Events
The Bavarians took the lead after 20 minutes, with Harry Kane confidently converting a penalty, awarded following a foul by Hoffenheim defender Kevin Akpoguma, who was subsequently dismissed. This numerical advantage was briefly undone when Hoffenheim’s Andrej Kramarić levelled the score in the 36th minute, capitalising on a significant error by Manuel Neuer. However, Bayern restored their lead on the brink of half-time, as Kane netted his second penalty of the evening in the 45th minute. During first-half added time, Díaz, who had been instrumental in earning both spot-kicks, found the net for Bayern’s third, benefitting from Kane’s assist.

He completed his hat-trick in the 89th minute, finishing off a move with an assist from Jamal Musiala, and leaving Hoffenheim’s goalkeeper Baumann with no chance.
