Harry Kane scored twice and missed a penalty as Bayern Munich confirmed their place in the last 16 of the Champions League with a 2-0 win over Union Saint-Gilloise.

Kane’s goals came within three minutes of each other in the second half, though Bayern were forced to see out the last half-an-hour with 10 men after Kim Min-jae’s red card.

Bayern almost found themselves ahead inside the opening two minutes, but Union SG goalkeeper Kjell Scherpen was on hand to deny Kane from close range.

The runaway Bundesliga leaders were frustrated throughout the first half and almost fell behind in the 20th minute, when Kevin Mac Allister slid a shot just wide from a free-kick.

And the best chance of the half fell to the visitors 15 minutes before half-time, with Manuel Neuer producing a fine point-blank save from Promise David’s powerful header.

But just seven minutes after the restart, Bayern found the breakthrough when Kane brilliantly flicked Michael Olise’s teasing corner from the right in at Scherpen’s near post.

Kane then doubled his and Bayern’s tally from the penalty spot three minutes later, scoring emphatically from 12 yards after he was brought down by Scherpen in the area.

Kim was then shown a second yellow card for an off-the-ball tug on Raul Florucz, but the hosts had the chance to add further gloss to the scoreline in the 80th minute.

Kamiel Van de Perre handled Olise’s cross into the box, but Kane was unable to repeat the trick with his second spot-kick, smashing his right-footed attempt against the crossbar.
