Kane scores 2 more as Bayern beats Dortmund in Klassiker to open 11-point gap in Bundesliga

By Canadian Press on February 28, 2026.

BERLIN (AP) — Harry Kane scored twice again and Bayern Munich opened an 11-point lead in the Bundesliga with a 3-2 win at Borussia Dortmund in Der Klassiker on Saturday.

Joshua Kimmich let fly with his left boot to score the winner with a volley in the 87th minute, just four minutes after Daniel Svensson equalized for Dortmund with a brilliant volley inside the left post.

Nico Schlotterbeck put Dortmund 1-0 up at the break, but Serge Gnabry set up Kane’s response and the England star got his second from the penalty spot — after a foul by Schlotterbeck on Josip Stanišić — to take his league tally to 30 goals this season.

Kane has scored two goals or more for the fourth successive game and is closing in on Robert Lewandowski’s season record of 41.

Ten rounds remain.

Bremen ends winless streak

Werder Bremen finally ended its 13-game run without a win by beating relegation rival Heidenheim 2-0 in their bottom-of-the-table scrap.

Bremen missed a host of chances before Jovan Milošević scored from Romano Schmid’s cross in the 57th minute, and an own goal from Hennes Behrens in stoppage time confirmed Bremen’s first win after three defeats under new coach Daniel Thioune.

It was enough to lift Bremen above Wolfsburg into the relegation playoff place. Wolfsburg, which hasn’t won its last six games, visits Stuttgart on Sunday.

Heidenheim remained last, nine points from safety after St. Pauli held on for a 1-0 win at high-flying Hoffenheim.

Mathias Pereira Lage scored for St. Pauli before the break, lifting the Hamburg-based club out of the relegation zone after its third win from four games.

Kevin Diks scored a stoppage-time penalty for Borussia Mönchengladbach to beat Union Berlin 1-0 and end the Foals’ seven-game winless run.

Jarell Quansah scored late for Bayer Leverkusen to salvage a 1-1 draw with Mainz, canceling Sheraldo Becker’s second-half volley for Mainz.

But the draw is a blow to Leverkusen’s hopes of reaching fourth place in the race for Champions League qualification. Leverkusen remained sixth, and both Stuttgart and Leipzig could pull further away. Leipzig visits Hamburger SV on Sunday.
