In fact, Kane converted 10 out of 10 of his Bundesliga penalties this season — until Bayern’s 1-0 victory over VfL Wolfsburg.
Bayern earned a penalty kick in the 35th minute after Michael Olise caught Konstantinos Koulierakis’s oustretched leg. As per standard procedure, Kane stepped up to take the penalty, but then, something unimaginable happened — he missed. At first glance, it appeared as if Kane simply blasted his shot over the goal.
But, upon closer inspection, the Englishman’s left foot slipped just before striking the ball, throwing him off balance and sending the ball into an ecstatic ocean of Wolfsburg supporters. However, there may be more to the story of Kane’s first Bundesliga penalty miss this season, and it involves a savvy piece of sabotage. According to footage captured by Sky cameras (via @iMiaSanMia), Jeanuël Belocian was spotted trampling the penalty spot ahead of Kane’s miss.
