German champions Bayern Munich secured their place in the Round of 16 in the UEFA Champions League with their win over Union Saint-Gilloise at the Allianz Arena on Thursday, as Harry Kane netted twice.
Kane opened the scoring for Vincent Kompany’s men in the 52nd minute of the game, before doubling down on his tally as he converted from the spot three minutes later.
“Coming back into the second half we wanted to show more intensity and I think we did that,” Kane said following the conclusion of the game.
“We scored at the right times, were a bit unlucky with the red card but even after that when we went down to 10 men we controlled the game well and earned the three points.”
