Bayern Munich had to settle for a 2-2 draw against Hamburg SV at the Volksparkstadion, despite taking a second-half lead. Harry Kane scored his 36th goal of the season to level the score before halftime, while substitute Luis Diaz briefly put the visitors ahead after the break. Hamburg’s Luka Vuskovic earned a crucial point for his side with a late header.
Hamburg Take the Lead
Hamburg opened the scoring from the penalty spot when Fabio Vieira converted after a foul by Bayern’s Joshua Kimmich on Nicolai Remberg. The hosts capitalized on Bayern’s early pressure and looked comfortable before Kane restored parity.
Kane Levels for Bayern
Harry Kane scored his 22nd Bundesliga goal of the season, finishing from close range after Serge Gnabry’s cross was not converted by Kimmich. Bayern were then ahead within a minute of the restart thanks to Luis Diaz, who slotted home a low finish following a one-two with Gnabry and Michael Olise.
Late Drama from Vuskovic
Hamburg refused to concede, and Luka Vuskovic kept up his scoring form by heading in William Mikelbrencis’ cross, securing a 2-2 draw. Bayern came close to winning again, hitting the woodwork twice, including a Jonathan Tah header and Alphonso Davies clearing a shot off the line.
