Jamal Musiala scored on his first start for Bayern Munich since July as they secured second spot in the league phase of the Champions League with a hard-fought win at PSV Eindhoven.
England forward Harry Kane, who started the match as a substitute, registered his 35th goal of the campaign to give Bayern victory and eliminate the Dutch club, who reached the last 16 of the competition 12 months ago.
Ismael Saibari’s stunning right-foot effort had raised home hopes that PSV could qualify for the knock-out play-offs.
The runaway Eredivisie leaders were sitting inside the top-24 places until Kane’s intervention meant they ended the evening in 28th, a point and four positions adrift.
And Peter Bosz’s side will feel a little hard done to after creating several excellent openings during an impressive first-half display.
Guus Til and Ivan Perisic both went close to opening the scoring well before Musiala – who has only recently returned to action after suffering a serious leg break at the Club World Cup – ended off a fine Bayern counter with an unerring finish from close range.
PSV’s disappointing evening was compounded by Mauro Junior’s late dismissal for collecting two yellow cards.
