Bayern moved to 51 points from 20 games, nine ahead of Borussia Dortmund in second, though the latter have played a game fewer. Hamburg climbed to 13th with 19 points from 19 games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">F\u00e1bio Vieira put <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/hamburg\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Hamburg<\/a> in front from the penalty spot before Kane levelled before half-time. The substitute Luis D\u00edaz put the visitors ahead within a minute of the restart, but Luka Vuskovic kept up his good scoring form to earn what could be a precious point for Hamburg.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Hamburg were awarded their penalty for a foul by Joshua Kimmich on Nicolai Remberg just after the half hour. Bayern were level before the break as Kane scored his 36th goal of the campaign in all competitions, and his 22nd in 20 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/bundesligafootball\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bundesliga<\/a> appearances. Kimmich, who had earlier hit the bar, could not turn in Serge Gnabry\u2019s cross from the left, but the England striker turned and finished from close range to make it 1-1.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">D\u00edaz came on at half-time and within 43 seconds gave them the lead. Gnabry and Michael Olise played a one-two before the latter slipped a pass for D\u00edaz to turn and fire low into the net. Hamburg kept battling and were rewarded when Vuskovic headed in from close range via William Mikelbrencis\u2019s cross.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Bayern hit the woodwork again when Jonathan Tah\u2019s header came back off the crossbar, and at the other end Alphonso Davies cleared off the line to deny Hamburg a winner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Eintracht Frankfurt\u2019s winless run stretched to eight games across all competitions on Saturday after a 3-1 loss at home to Bayer Leverkusen. It was the sixth game in seven this year that Frankfurt have conceded three goals. The Spanish coach Albert Riera takes over on Monday and the size of his task to fix their leaky defence is clear.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Arthur scored the first goal in the 26th minute for Leverkusen, beating the goalkeeper Kau\u00e3 Santos at his near post after \u00c1lex Grimaldo set him up with his heel. Malik Tillman made it 2-0 with a fine low strike inside the right post \u2013 the American forward\u2019s third goal in two games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Robin Koch pulled one back for an improved Frankfurt but Ellyes Skhiri was sent off in the 70th minute. Aleix Garc\u00eda got Leverkusen\u2019s third on the break in stoppage time, boosting the visitors\u2019 Champions League hopes and increasing Frankfurt\u2019s goals-conceded tally to 45, the most in the Bundesliga.<\/p>\n<p>Arthur (right) celebrates scoring Leverkusen\u2019s first goal with \u00c1lex Grimaldo.

Conrad Harder headed the hosts in front but Nadiem Amiri\u2019s penalty levelled things up before the break, and Silas\u2019 solo run and finish soon after the restart sealed victory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Hoffenheim moved six points clear of Leipzig in third as they defeated Union Berlin 3-1, with Andrej Kramaric on target twice. Augsburg fought back to earn a 2-1 win over St Pauli, and struggling Werder Bremen scored late to salvage a 1-1 draw at home with Borussia M\u00f6nchengladbach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Napoli secured a 2-1 home win over struggling Fiorentina as the Serie A champions suffered another injury problem when Giovanni Di Lorenzo was forced to leave the field. Antonio Conte\u2019s side are third on 46 points, six behind the leaders, Inter, who visit Cremonese on Sunday. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/fiorentina\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fiorentina<\/a> are 18th.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Antonio Vergara broke the deadlock in the 11th minute, racing clear of the Fiorentina defence before calmly slotting a low finish into the corner from the edge of the box. Miguel Guti\u00e9rrez doubled Napoli\u2019s lead four minutes after the restart with a curling shot from an acute angle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Fiorentina pulled one back after 57 minutes when Dod\u00f4 threaded a through ball to Roberto Piccoli, who tried to trick Alex Meret, only for the keeper to get a vital touch, but the ball spilled loose and Manor Solomon pounced.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">In Ligue 1, Marseille suffered a late collapse at Paris FC, blowing a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with the pain still fresh from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/2026\/jan\/28\/champions-league-benfica-real-madrid-barcelona-sporting-bodo-glimt\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">their midweek Champions League exit<\/a>. Mason Greenwood converted a first-half penalty for his 13th goal of the season, then set up Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to double Marseille\u2019s lead early in the second half. Roberto De Zerbi\u2019s side came unstuck again as Jonathan Ikon\u00e9\u2019s header brought Paris FC back into the game, before Ilan Kebbal levelled with an injury-time spot-kick.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">In Spain there was frustration for Atl\u00e9tico Madrid, who drew 0-0 with Levante. Later on Saturday, Barcelona travel to Elche looking to put pressure on Real Madrid at the top of La Liga. Bar\u00e7a kick off with a one-point advantage over their capital rivals, who host Rayo Vallecano on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Harry Kane scored his 36th goal of the season but Bayern Munich let a second-half lead slip to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":450290,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-450289","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450289","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=450289"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450289\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/450290"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=450289"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=450289"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=450289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
