Bayern Munich's star striker Harry Kane experienced a rare moment of fallibility on Saturday, missing his first-ever Bundesliga penalty—but his teammates ensured it didn't cost the Bavarians, as Michael Olise's stunning strike secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over VfL Wolfsburg.

Since his high-profile move from Tottenham in 2024, Kane had been flawless from the spot in Germany's top flight, converting all 24 of his league penalties. The only blemishes on his otherwise perfect record came in other competitions: a miss in this season's German Cup against Wehen Wiesbaden and another in the Champions League against Union Saint-Gilloise back in January.

With Kane's early penalty saved, the match remained scoreless until the 56th minute, when young winger Michael Olise produced a moment of magic. Picking up the ball just outside the box, he curled a beautiful effort into the far corner, leaving the Wolfsburg goalkeeper with no chance. It was a goal worthy of winning any match—and it proved decisive.

Wolfsburg nearly snatched a point late on when Mattias Svanberg found himself one-on-one with Bayern goalkeeper Jonas Urbig in the 89th minute. But with only the keeper to beat, his shot clattered off the post, summing up a frustrating afternoon for the home side.

The defeat leaves Wolfsburg stuck in the bottom three with just one game remaining. Their only hope of Bundesliga survival now rests on securing a spot in the relegation/promotion play-off. They sit level on 26 points with St. Pauli, setting up a winner-takes-all showdown next Saturday that will determine their fate.

For Bayern, the win was enough to keep the pressure on at the top, while the result also brought relief to Werder Bremen and Cologne, who are now mathematically safe from relegation. As for Kane, his perfect league penalty record may be gone, but Olise's heroics ensured it wasn't a costly miss.
