# Kane's Hat-Trick & Assist Lead Bayern Munich to 5-1 Victory Over VfL Bochum
On Saturday, Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich secured their fifth straight league victory with a comprehensive 5-1 triumph over VfL Bochum at the Allianz Arena. The game was marked by a stellar performance from forward Harry Kane, who scored three goals and provided two assists in the final 48 minutes.
## Harry Kane's Magical Performance
Harry Kane's hat-trick set the tone for the match, coming off the bench after halftime. His first goal was a well-taken effort from just outside the box, while his second and third were both spectacular strikes that left VfL Bochum goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen scrambling to react.
### Key Assists
In addition to scoring, Kane also delivered two crucial assists, setting up key chances for Kingsley Coman and Robert Lewandowski. Coman's goal came from a corner kick that Kane had cleverly lobbed into the box, allowing him to slot home. Lewandowski then capitalized on another opportunity, converting Kane's pass into the back of the net.
## Bayern Munich's Solid Defense
Despite being without their captain Joshua Kimmich, Bayern Munich maintained their solid defensive structure throughout the match. The defense played a strong man-to-man challenge against VfL Bochum's attack, limiting their opportunities to score. This allowed them to focus on building momentum through possession play.
## Final Thoughts
The victory over VfL Bochum not only secured Bayern Munich's fifth straight league win but also gave them a commanding lead in the table. With Kane continuing to perform at an exceptional level, Bayern Munich remains one of the most dominant teams in European football. The team will now turn their attention to facing RB Leipzig in next week's Bundesliga clash.
