It happened again. Bayern Munich won a penalty and so Harry Kane stepped up to take responsibility. With over an hour gone in the match and the scores locked at 0-0 in a crucial DFB Pokal quarterfinal
tie against Rasenballsport Leipzig, the England captain had to score. But those who know his penalty record at Bayern knew what would happen: Kane buried the ball into the back of the net and Bayern went on to win.
In general, Kane’s penalty record at Bayern has been utterly superb and this drew ESPN reporters to ask Kane after the match how he scores these penalties and what he did to bury this particular one.
“On this occasion, using the stutter step, I waited for the goalkeeper to move. He moved a little early and once he went one way, it would be hard for him to go the other way,” Kane explained. “I decided [to go for the other corner] in that moment. Sometimes, I make penalties look easy, but they are still a high pressure moment and you have to be able to step up and handle that. I practice to give myself the best chances and it is nice to see another go in today.”
