Harry Kane missed his first Bundesliga penalty as Bayern Munich narrowly beat Wolfsburg on Saturday. After the game, opinions were divided over the moment Nuel Belosian stepped on the penalty spot.
The England captain slipped before his shot, which missed the target completely and had the potential to take multiple touches. “What do you want them to do? Should they applaud when we score?” Vincent Kompany said calmly about the incident.

When he was asked why his players did not protect the penalty spot, the coach predicted it would be different another day. “If we had had a penalty against PSG on Wednesday, we would have had two or three people there. Sometimes these little details make a difference,” reflected the Belgian honestly.
Bayern’s win with a second-half goal may also have had something to do with Kompany and goalkeeper Jonas Urbiger’s relaxed reaction to the incident. “For Wolfsburg, it’s everything. That’s why I’m not angry with them about it,” said Bayern’s best player in the first half.
