Bayern Munich’s Winning Streak Ends Amid Key Errors

Bayern Munich’s Winning Streak Ends as Kane and Neuer Slip Up in 2–2 Draw with Union Berlin

Bayern Munich’s record-breaking winning streak came to an unexpected end on Saturday afternoon after a 2–2 draw with Union Berlin, marked by rare errors from both Manuel Neuer and Harry Kane.

The Bundesliga champions, who had won all 16 of their competitive matches in 2025, were undone by individual mistakes that proved costly. While Neuer’s misjudgment led to Union’s first goal, Kane’s misplaced clearance allowed Danilho Doekhi to score his second of the game.

Reflecting on the decisive moment, the England captain admitted responsibility:

“I aimed to clear the ball in the 83rd minute and inadvertently passed it directly to him [Doekhi],” Kane told Sky Germany. “He finished well. But our equalizer at 90+3 shows we kept the right attitude until the end.”

Kane also cited difficult pitch conditions and contentious refereeing as factors:

“We expected a tough game. The poor pitch caused unpredictable bounces, and there were some questionable decisions, but that’s part of football.”

Despite frustration at dropping points, the 32-year-old striker remained philosophical, suggesting that the result could help Bayern refocus.

“This could shift the narrative,” Kane said. “Maybe it’s better if people see us as an excellent team rather than one chasing perfection.”

The draw keeps Bayern Munich at the top of the Bundesliga table, but the end of their flawless run could serve as a timely reminder of the league’s growing competitiveness.
