Bayern secured an easy victory over Stuttgart with a double from Kane

At the Allianz Arena, Bayern welcomed Stuttgart in the pivotal match of the 15th round of the Bundesliga.

The home team started without much delay: in the 2nd minute, Kane capitalized, sending the ball into Stuttgart's empty net following Sané's pass. In the first half, the ball found Stuttgart's net twice more, courtesy of Kim Min-Jae and Müller, but both goals were disallowed due to offside calls.

Ten minutes into the second half, Kane secured a brace: Pavlovic delivered the ball into the penalty area, Kim Min-Jae nodded it to Harry, and the Englishman neatly placed it into Nübel's net from a few meters away. This goal marked Kane's 20th in the current Bundesliga season.

A few minutes later, Kim Min-Jae, with a slight deflection off his head, beat the Stuttgart goalkeeper, sealing a commanding victory. The hosts ceased their scoring endeavors thereafter and refrained from adding further goals.

Bayern collected 35 points, closing the gap to Bayer by four points. Thomas Tuchel's team has an unplayed fixture from the 13th round against Union in reserve. Stuttgart remains in fourth place with 31 points.
