Bayern dominated the match, registering 18 shots, 10 of which were on target, with an expected goals (xG) value of 2.89. They also controlled possession for 62% of the game.
Bayern's statistical dominance translated into an impressive on-field performance. Towards the end of the first half, the reigning Bundesliga champions capitalized on their advantage with a goal from Kane, assisted by 17-year-old talent Lennart Karl.
Having won their last 13 matches after opening the scoring, Bayern confidently extended their streak when Albian Hajdari handled the ball, resulting in a penalty kick successfully converted by Kane.

With a two-goal lead, Bayern played with increased freedom and continued to apply pressure. Their dominance led to a third goal when Michael Olise was fouled in the penalty area. Kane once again completed the task from the penalty spot, firing the ball into the top corner.
This was Kane's 10th hat-trick in 103 appearances for Bayern. He also increased his goal tally for the season to 13 goals in seven matches across all competitions.
Late in the game, Vladimir Coufal scored for Hoffenheim against Manuel Neuer. However, Bayern sealed a comfortable 4-1 victory thanks to a late goal from Serge Gnabry in stoppage time.
The win keeps Bayern's perfect record intact after the first four rounds of the Bundesliga. They are currently three points ahead of second-placed RB Leipzig. Despite the victory, manager Vincent Kompany will be concerned about Kim Min-jae, who left the field with an injury late in the match.
Bayern will host Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga next weekend before ending the month with a Champions League match against Pafos on 30/9.
