It has been almost three years since Kane last missed a penalty in a competitive football match. Since then, the England captain has managed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.com\/harry-kane\/elfmetertore\/spieler\/132098\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">convert 31 penalties in a row in competitive matches<\/a>. That streak is, however, now over as Kane missed what could have been a crucial penalty in the first round of the DFB Pokal against 3. Liga side Wehen Wiesbaden.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Bayern Munich had stormed to an early lead in that match thanks to an earlier penalty by Kane (16\u2019)\u2014his 31st converted spotkick in a row\u2014and a wonderful finish by <a title=\"Michael Olise\" href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.com\/michael-olise\/profil\/spieler\/566723\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Michael Olise<\/a> (51\u2019). From then on, it appeared Bayern Munich were cruising past the third division side to the second round of the German Cup. But then came a quick brace by <a title=\"Fatih Kaya\" href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.com\/fatih-kaya\/profil\/spieler\/368825\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Fatih Kaya<\/a> (64\u2019 &amp; 70\u2019) to level the score for Wiesbaden. Then, in the 76th minute, Kane was brought down inside the box. Stepping up to himself, Kane saw both the initial attempt and his rebound blocked by goalkeeper <a title=\"Florian Stritzel\" href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.com\/florian-stritzel\/profil\/spieler\/148096\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Florian Stritzel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.com\/vergleich\/vereinsvergleich\/statistik\/108_27\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"spielervergleichLink\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><\/p>\n<p>Club Comparison<\/p>\n<p>\u20ac7.98m<\/p>\n<p>Market Value<\/p>\n<p>\u20ac857.50m<\/p>\n<p>            <br class=\"clearer\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Third Tier<\/p>\n<p>League Level<\/p>\n<p>First Tier<\/p>\n<p>            <br class=\"clearer\"\/><\/p>\n<p>0<\/p>\n<p>Expenditures 25\/26<\/p>\n<p>\u20ac72.30m<\/p>\n<p>            <br class=\"clearer\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Nils D\u00f6ring<\/p>\n<p>Managers<\/p>\n<p>Vincent Kompany<\/p>\n<p>\n                Full Club Comparison\n            <\/p>\n<p>    <\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCrazy game,\u201d Kane said after the match to German broadcaster Sky Sport. \u201cWe had some big, big chances to put the game away, but credit to them, they stuck at it. \u201cWe know we\u2019re not the perfect team yet. We know we\u2019ve got stuff to work on, and tonight shows that.\u201d The missed penalty could have made all the headlines for the wrong reasons, but it speaks for Kane that he was the one to come up big late in the game. Four minutes into injury time, a high ball into the box found the English forward, and Kane would end up scoring with a perfect header.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n12th missed penalty in history \u2013 Harry Kane&#8217;s miss a good omen for Bayern?<\/p>\n<p>How rare is a penalty miss for Harry Kane? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.transfermarkt.com\/harry-kane\/elfmetertore\/spieler\/132098\/saison_id\/\/wettbewerb_id\/\/plus\/1#verschossen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">A glimpse in the Transfermarkt database reveals that Kane has missed just 12 penalties throughout his career<\/a>. The last miss came on Dec. 10, 2022, in England\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.com\/spielbericht\/index\/spielbericht\/3972029\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">2-1<\/a> defeat to France at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Overall, 2022 was a bit of a cursed year for Kane. It was the only year in his career that the striker missed three penalties. His previous record was two missed penalties in 2016. His record for Bayern, in the meantime, has been perfect until tonight, scoring 21 penalty goals in a row until tonight.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps it is a good omen, though. Although the Munich side have now advanced from the first round of the DFB Pokal for the 31st time, Bayern haven\u2019t won the competition since 2020 when they beat Bayer Leverkusen (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.com\/spielbericht\/index\/spielbericht\/3383750\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">4-2<\/a>). In the last few seasons, early exits marked Bayern\u2019s campaigns in the German Cup. Since Kane joined Bayern, the club fell to Saarbr\u00fccken (2-1) in the second round in the 2023\/24 season and to Bayer Leverkusen (1-0) in the round of 16 in the 2024\/25 season (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.com\/fc-bayern-munchen\/pokalhistorie\/verein\/27\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bayern\u2019s cup history at a glance<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Against Wehen-Wiesbaden\u00a0 \u00a9IMAGO There is a joke that Harry Kane\u2019s missed penalty against France at the 2022 FIFA&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":101764,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,22706,15420,61985,596,29475,85,73926],"class_list":{"0":"post-101763","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-bayern-munich","11":"tag-bundesliga","12":"tag-dfb-pokal","13":"tag-football","14":"tag-harry-kane","15":"tag-sports","16":"tag-sv-wehen-wiesbaden"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101763","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=101763"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101763\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/101764"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=101763"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=101763"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=101763"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
