Harry Kane’s second-half penalty proved decisive as Bayern Munich edged past Borussia Moenchengladbach 1-0 on Saturday, maintaining their four-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga.
The defending champions, missing the injured Jamal Musiala, struggled to break down a resolute Gladbach side.
However, with just over 20 minutes remaining, Michael Olise was brought down in the box by Lukas Ullrich, allowing Kane to step up from the spot.
The England captain, who had been relatively quiet until then, calmly converted his 26th consecutive penalty for club and country, extending his impressive streak.
Elsewhere, Omar Marmoush, amidst growing speculation about a potential move to Manchester City, scored for Eintracht Frankfurt in their 1-0 win over St. Pauli.
Frankfurt’s sporting director confirmed that a club had expressed interest in the Egyptian forward, with Sky Germany reporting that personal terms with City had already been agreed upon.
