Harry Kane was denied a long-awaited first trophy in his first game with Bayern Munich after his new team lost 3-0 to RB Leipzig in the German Super Cup on Saturday.
England captain Kane had signed a four-year deal amid a media frenzy only hours earlier and made a substitute appearance in the second half but could not prevent a season-opening defeat against the German Cup winners.

Instead it was RB Leipzig’s Dani Olmo who stole the spotlight with a hat trick to give Leipzig a first Super Cup triumph.
Spaniard Olmo pounced on Bayern’s sloppy defending in the third minute to slot in for the lead and he added another with a superb flick and turn that left two defenders standing a minute before the break.
Leipzig’s Mohamed Simakan had almost gifted Bayern an equaliser a little earlier, hitting the post in his effort to clear the ball.

With Bayern wasteful up front, squandering half a dozen chances, coach Thomas Tuchel brought on Kane, whose transfer cost a Bundesliga record €100 million ($110m), in the 64th to huge cheers from Bayern fans.
He hardly got a look-in, however, with only three touches and it was Olmo who scored again, this time with a penalty only four minutes later, to secure the first title of the season for his team.
Bayern kick off their Bundesliga season on Friday against Werder Bremen.
