Bayern Munich Hit Four Past Heidenheim as Olise Overtakes Wirtz in Assist Race
Bayern Munich cruised to a dominant 4-0 away victory over Heidenheim in Matchday 30 of the Bundesliga, wrapping up the game with three first-half goals and putting on a clinical attacking display.
Harry Kane continued his remarkable debut season in Germany, scoring his 24th goal in just 28 league appearances. The England captain latched onto a well-timed assist from Michael Olise, who delivered his 11th of the campaign—surpassing Florian Wirtz to become the Bundesliga’s top assist provider this season.
Bayern’s attacking unit was firing on all cylinders. Alongside Kane, goals came from Konrad Laimer, Kingsley Coman, and Joshua Kimmich, underlining the squad’s depth even as the title chase nears its climax.
Notably, Vincent Kompany brought on João Palhinha as his final substitution, marking the midfielder’s return to action amid recent disciplinary controversies. The coach and the Portuguese international were seen in deep conversation after the final whistle—perhaps a sign of reconciliation, or just a tactical debrief.
Bayern Munich remain nine points behind league leaders Bayer Leverkusen, though the gap could shrink to six on points dropped.
