Musiala, Kane on target as Bayern remember Beckenbauer

Jamal Musiala scored twice and Harry Kane added a late goal as Bayern Munich won 3-0 at home over Hoffenheim on Friday as the club celebrated the life of Franz Beckenbauer.

Beckenbauer, who spent the majority of his career at Bayern and helped establish them as a European powerhouse, died on Sunday at the age of 78.

He was laid to rest just hours before kickoff, with Bayern honouring his memory with several tributes for the German football legend.

Before kick-off on Friday, players and 75 000 fans observed a minute's silence in memory of Beckenbauer, one of only three men to have won the World Cup as a player and a coach.

"It's not easy to find the right words" an emotional Bayern veteran Thomas Mueller said, recognising that playing after the tributes was "a bit strange, of course."
