HARRY KANE SCORED in each half as Bayern Munich piled the pain on old foe Hamburg in a 5-0 home win on Saturday.
Kane brought his Bayern tally to 93 goals in 101 games while Serge Gnabry, Luis Diaz and Aleksandar Pavlovic also scored.
Alongside Borussia Dortmund as the only Bundesliga sides to win the European Cup, Bayern and Hamburg have taken different paths since dominating German football in the 1980s.
Bayern have won 12 of the past 13 league titles while Hamburg were promoted last season after seven seasons in the second division.
Goalscorer Gnabry toasted Bayern’s “blind understanding,” saying “things are going well in the team. We’re playing well together, we’re moving the ball around nicely”.

Gnabry hammered the ball into the roof of the net just three minutes in. Bayern junior Pavlovic finished off a team move six minutes later.
Kane converted a penalty awarded for handball with 26 minutes played. Diaz made it four three minutes later, his fourth goal since joining Bayern in the summer.
Nicolas Jackson came on at half-time, making his debut after moving to Bayern on loan from Chelsea in the summer.
Bayern open their Champions League campaign at home against Chelsea on Wednesday.
The England captain then started and finished off his own move to score Bayern’s fifth and final goal in the 62nd minute.
Since Hamburg’s last win in Munich in 2007, Bayern have won 16 and drawn three of their home matches in the series, scoring 76 goals to Hamburg’s seven, a run which includes two 8-0 wins and a 9-2 victory.
Bayern moved atop the table as the only side with three wins from three.

Meanwhile, Juventus sit level on points with Napoli at the top of Serie A on Saturday after a thrilling 4-3 win with Inter Milan as both teams continued their perfect starts to the new season with the Champions League set to begin.
A stunning strike in stoppage time of the ‘Derby of Italy’ from teenage substitute Vasilije Adzic put Juve on nine points from their first three matches, behind on goal difference from Napoli who cruised to a 3-1 win at Fiorentina with new boy Rasmus Hojlund on the scoresheet.
Midfielder Adzic, who made his debut for Montenegro in June, had come on for Teun Koopmeiners not long before Khephren Thuram levelled the scores at three each in the 83rd minute and let fly with a rocket of a shot which squirmed through Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer’s fingers.
“What can I say, it’s a dream to play and score such a hugely important goal for Juve,” said Adzic.
“I can only thank the coach and the staff for showing faith in me and bringing me on in such a big game.”
Adzic’s strike overshadowed the contribution from France’s Thuram brothers. Playing on opposing sides, both netted.
Marcus Thuram headed Inter deservedly 3-2 ahead in the 76th minute after Hakan Calhanoglu twice drew the away team level with two superb long-range strikes of his own.
Under the gaze of their icon father Lilian Thuram, who watched on from the Allianz Stadium stands, Khephren Thuram then nodded Juve level and set the stage for Adzic’s powerful strike.
Inter are stuck on three points after a second straight defeat under novice coach Cristian Chivu, who replaced Simone Inzaghi in the summer even though his only previous elite coaching experience was a handful of matches in charge of Parma last season.
Chivu’s team spent large chunks of the match dictating the play in what is traditionally the biggest fixture of Inter’s season — even more important than the Milan derby.
Champions Napoli can draw level with Juve at the top of Serie A later on Saturday with a win at Fiorentina.
Napoli warmed up for their clash at Manchester City on Thursday with a powerful display in Florence which strengthened their status as the team to beat in Italy.
The champions were two goals ahead within 14 minutes in Florence, with Kevin De Bruyne smashing home a penalty and Hojlund expertly guiding home from Leonardo Spinazzola’s pass on his debut.
Hojlund looked a completely different player to the one who flopped at Manchester United as Napoli threatened to run riot amid the jeers of an unhappy home crowd.
And Napoli were assured of the win five minutes after half-time when Andre-Frank Anguissa, who won the penalty De Bruyne scored ahead of his return to Manchester, pushed a flick-on at a corner back into the path of Beukema who tapped in from close range.
