Harry Kane's Impact as Bayern Munich Suffers Defeat in German Super Cup

Harry Kane's Bayern Munich debut didn't go according to plan as they were beaten 3-0 at home by RB Leipzig in the German Super Cup.

The striker completed his £86.4m (€100m) move to the Bundesliga champions from boyhood club Tottenham Hotspur earlier on Saturday.

Bayern and Leipzig agreed to push back the registration window to a few hours before kick-off in hope of Kane being able to play some part at the Allianz Arena.

He was named on the bench by Thomas Tuchel having only had a brief training session with his new teammates soon after completing the move to Die Roten.

Kane watched on from the touchline as Leipzig raced into a two-goal lead in the first half. Dani Olmo scrambled home the opener after Bayern failed to deal with a troublesome free-kick from the wide areas.

Olmo then produced a magical flick to double Leipzig's lead before the interval as a restless home crowd began grumbling and calling for their new star signing.

Kane was eventually brought on to a loud and standing ovation just after the hour mark, coming on in place of Mathys Tel.

But within minutes of coming on, Bayern conceded a penalty when Noussair Mazraoui was judged to have handled the ball in his own box. Olmo converted the spot kick to secure a show-stopping hat-trick.

Defeat means that Kane's career-long wait to win a major trophy goes on.

Bayern Munich will open the new Bundesliga season on Friday 18 August with a trip to Werder Bremen.

Kane, who completed a full pre-season with Tottenham and is fully fit, is likely to start after being afforded more time to settle in at his new club.

After taking on Werder, Bayern return to the Allianz Arena on Saturday 27 August to take on Augsburg in a Bavarian derby.
