BERLIN (AP) --- Harry Kane scored twice but conceded a penalty as Bayern Munich
held on to beat Eintracht Frankfurt 3-2 to protect its Bundesliga lead on
Saturday.
Aleksandar Pavlovic scored early and Bayern seemed to be cruising when Kane
scored his league-leading 27th and 28th goals of the season, one in each half.
The England star is used to converting penalties but ended up conceding one for
a foul on Oscar Hjlund with some 15 minutes of normal time remaining.
Jonathan Burkardt duly pulled one back from the spot in the 77th, and Arnaud
Kalimuendo capitalized on a mix-up between Joshua Kimmich and Kim Min-jae to
set up a nervy finale in the 86th.
Bayern held on through seven minutes of stoppage time to move nine points clear
of Borussia Dortmund before Dortmund's match at Leipzig later.
Before kickoff, Kane was honored for scoring 500 career goals for club and
country.
Alphonso Davies went off injured early in the second half, and Jamal Musiala
made his first league start for Bayern of the season.
Rani Khedira's first-half strike was enough for Union Berlin to surprise Bayer
Leverkusen 1-0 and end the visitors' seven-game unbeaten run across all
competitions. It was Union's first victory since back-to-back wins over Cologne
and Leipzig in December.
Also, Augsburg grabbed a 3-2 win in Wolfsburg, and Cologne held high-flying
Hoffenheim to a 2-2 draw. Ragnar Ache scored a contender for goal of the season
for Cologne with a spectacular bicycle kick.
