Harry Kane's Bundesliga penalty streak ends with miss against Wolfsburg
Quick summary
Harry Kane missed a Bundesliga penalty for the first time since joining Bayern Munich, ending a run of 24 successful spot-kicks. The miss came in the first half against Wolfsburg when he slipped and sent the ball over the bar.
What happened
Harry Kane had converted all 24 of his previous Bundesliga penalties for Bayern Munich, including 10 this season, before missing against Wolfsburg. In the first half at the Volkswagen Arena, his standing foot slipped during the run-up and the effort cleared the crossbar. Wolfsburg goalkeeper Kamil Grabara had dived the wrong way, so the miss was caused by execution rather than a save. The incident ends an unusually long streak of penalty reliability from Kane in the league.
Chance analysis
This matters mainly as a match-specific incident rather than a meaningful downgrade of Kane's underlying penalty quality. The miss was caused by a slip, so it should not materially change long-term expectations for Bayern's penalty conversion or Kane's finishing level. It is a small negative in-game event, not a strong forward-looking signal.
Minor short-term negative for Bayern Munich and Harry Kane in the match, but little broader outlook change.
Treat this as a one-off execution incident with low predictive value unless followed by further technical or fitness-related issues.
