Bayern Munich's thrilling 4-3 victory against Holstein Kiel on Saturday increased their advantage at the top of the Bundesliga to nine points. Harry Kane gave Bayern a 4-0 lead with two goals, but Kiel's Finn Porath responded before Steven Skrzybski's double in stoppage time threatened to salvage an unexpected tie. Around the Allianz Arena, everyone was relieved as the final whistle blew.

Kompany's team seized the opportunity to increase the distance between themselves and the champions on Sunday when Bayern's closest championship challengers, Bayer Leverkusen, hosted Hoffenheim. After a brief exchange of passes between Michael Olise and Joshua Kimmich, Musiala completed a stunning team goal in the 19th minute to give the Bavarians the lead. Musiala then headed in his 10th league goal of the year. Kane set yet another Bundesliga goalscoring record with the goal, his 55th league strike in 50 games.
