LEVERKUSEN, Germany - Bayern Munich's Harry Kane scored one goal and set up another as his side beat hosts Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 in the Champions League last-16 second leg on March 11 to advance with a 5-0 aggregate win to the last eight where they will face Inter Milan.
Kane, who netted twice in last week's 3-0 first leg win, tapped home from close range in the 52nd minute for a 10th Champions League goal that made him the first English player to score 10 times in a single European Cup season.
The England striker then delivered a one-touch pinpoint assist for Alphonso Davies to score the second goal in the 71st.
Bayern, who also lead the Bundesliga title race with an eight-point gap over second-placed reigning champions Leverkusen, were the better side throughout and twice hit the woodwork through Jamal Musiala late in the game.
