With their status as Group A winners already secure, Bayern Munich host Copenhagen at the Allianz Arena in Wednesday's Champions League contest.
While Thomas Tuchel's men have nothing but pride on the line for the final two matchdays, their Scandinavian counterparts are involved in a heated three-way battle for second place.
However, when the going got tough, Harry Kane - as he so often does - delivered, nodding a Joshua Kimmich free kick into the back of the net before completing his brace in the 86th minute, thereby ensuring that Cedric Bakambu's late strike would only be a consolation.
Thanks to the efforts of the England captain - and results elsewhere going their way - the Bundesliga champions are riding off into the last-16 sunset with 12 points from a possible 12 and cannot be caught by their three Group A rivals no matter what happens in the final two matchdays.
Taking their foot off the gas would leave Bayern prone to a slip-up, though - as was evidenced in their incredible DFB-Pokal exit to Saarbrucken - but since that 2-1 beating at the hands of the third-tier side, Tuchel's men have strung together a four-game winning sequence.
