On the final day of fixtures during the season's first international break, plenty of Bayern Munich players were in action for their national teams. Let's see how they did.

First of all, Kim-Min Jae and his South Korea side picked up an important three points in World Cup qualifying, with a 3-1 victory away in Oman. The Bayern central defender played the whole 90 minutes. This win puts South Korea second in their World Cup qualifying group with four points from two games.

Elsewhere in Asian World Cup qualifying, it was another frustrating day for Nestory Irankunda and Australia, who followed up their defeat at home to Bahrain with more points dropped in a 0-0 draw away to Indonesia. Irankunda played 59 minutes before being replaced. This draw leaves Australia fifth in their World Cup qualifying group with one point from two games.

Harry Kane scores brace on 100th England appearance, Joshua Kimmich also on target

Just like in their opening game against Hungary, Joshua Kimmich and Jamal Musiala started for Germany away to the Netherlands in the Nations League, whilst Aleksandar Pavlović replaced Pascal Groß at the hour mark. This game was more unassuming for Musiala, who was replaced late on. However, captain Kimmich scored his 7th goal for his country, which helped them secure a respectable point in a 2-2 draw.

This draw leaves Germany top of their Nations League group with four points and +5 goal difference after two games.

It was a special night for Harry Kane, who became just the 10th England player ever to win 100 caps for the national team. Before the game, he was presented with a golden cap by Frank Lampard and his current England coach Ashley Cole, two other players with 100 England caps - to celebrate this landmark achievement.

To put the cherry on the cake, Kane scored both of England's goals in a 2-0 win over Finland. Having already tested Lukas Hradecky three times, Kane finally got the better of the Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper with a thunderous strike off the bar 12 minutes into the second half, before clinically converting from a Noni Madueke cut-back around 15 minutes from time. Many congrats on the 100th cap and the two goals, Harry.

This win leaves England second in their Nations League group, behind leaders Greece on goal difference.

Finally, Alphonso Davies once again captained Canada as they played out a 0-0 draw in a friendly with Mexico in Arlington.
