European football: Olise fires Bayern’s winner against Wolfsburg after Kane misses penalty

Harry Kane missed a penalty as Bayern Munich failed to hit top form but the Bundesliga champions still edged struggling Wolfsburg 1-0 to bounce back after their midweek Champions League semi-final exit to Paris Saint-Germain.

Bayern, who won with a Michael Olise goal, had suffered a 6-5 aggregate loss to PSG after their 1-1 draw in Munich on Wednesday, narrowly missing out on what would have been their first Champions League final in six years. The frustration was evident at the start as the Bavarian side, with six changes in the lineup, lacked their usual attacking spark despite having Kane, the top scorer, in the starting XI.

Kane then squandered a 36th-minute penalty, slipping slightly before missing the target, for his first missed Bundesliga spot-kick after 24 successful ones.

The visitors needed more than one half to find their footing and they finally broke the deadlock with Olise’s superbly curled shot into the top corner in the 56th.

Wolfsburg missed their biggest chance in the 89th when substitute Mattias Svanberg hit the post with only goalkeeper Jonas Urbig to beat.

Bayern can still win the domestic double when they face VfB Stuttgart in the German Cup final on 23 May. Second-placed Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig in third are already guaranteed Champions League spots.

Stuttgart are in fourth, level on 61 points with fifth-placed Hoffenheim. The top four teams automatically qualify for next season’s Champions League.

With Inter already crowned Serie A champions and Lazio sitting eighth and out of qualifying for Europe via the league, the match served largely as a dress rehearsal for Wednesday’s decider at the Stadio Olimpico.

Martínez, back in the starting lineup after an injury layoff, underlined his status as the league’s leading scorer by opening the scoring in the sixth minute. Marcus Thuram flicked on a long throw and the Argentina striker volleyed past the goalkeeper for his 17th league goal of the season.
