Harry Kane endured a frustrating afternoon as Bayern Munich were shocked 1-0 by Augsburg, with the England captain unable to find the net despite a series of chances.
Bayern started on the front foot and moved the ball with purpose, but the final pass and finish were missing. Kane, so often the difference in tight games, was off target when opportunities came his way and failed to make the breakthrough before the interval.
Augsburg, disciplined and well organised, grew into the contest and carried an increasing threat on the break. Bayern continued to push after half-time, yet their dominance in possession did not translate into goals, and Kane’s touches in dangerous areas did not produce his usual clinical end product.
The decisive moment arrived when Augsburg made Bayern pay, striking for the only goal of the game to stun the visitors and turn the match on its head. Bayern responded by throwing more bodies forward, but Augsburg held firm as Kane and his team-mates came up empty.
It capped an unusually quiet showing from Kane, who was effectively a no-show in front of goal on a day when Bayern needed him most. The defeat left Bayern to reflect on a missed opportunity and a rare blank from their leading striker as Augsburg celebrated a famous 1-0 win.
