Kane makes Bayern debut in German Super Cup defeat by Leipzig

England captain Harry Kane made his Bayern Munich debut as they lost 3-0 to RB Leipzig in the German Super Cup.

Only hours after completing his £86m move from Tottenham on Saturday, the striker came on as 64th-minute substitute to a huge cheer at the Allianz Arena.

He had only three touches and made little impact.

Dani Olmo scored a hat-trick for Leipzig to deny 30-year-old Kane the first trophy of his career.

Olmo’s first goal was into the bottom corner after a cross was not cleared. His second was brilliant, spinning Matthijs de Ligt before slotting through Sven Ulreich’s legs. The Spain forward got his hat-trick with a penalty after Kane’s introduction.

Leipzig’s performance was especially impressive considering they lost three of their leading players to the Premier League this summer.

Croatia defender Josko Gvardiol joined Manchester City, Hungary midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai went to Liverpool and France striker Christopher Nkunku moved to Chelsea.
