HARRY KANE came off the bench to make his Bayern Munich debut, but could not stop the rot as RB Leipzig won the DFB Super Cup 3-0.
Dani Olmo has scored a hat-trick for Leipzig in an amazing performance as Bayern looked embarrassingly off the pace.
The England star, 30, made the switch from Tottenham to Bayern Munich on Friday – and now has to justify his massive £104million price tag.

Charlie Wyett’s match report from Munich
Harry Kane must have thought he was certain to finally get his hands on a trophy for the first time.
Hilariously, it would have come just over 12 hours after his departure from Spurs.
Yet on the night when he made his debut for Bayern Munich as a 64th-minute substitute, the Bundesliga champions were on the wrong end of a 3-0 thumping by Leipzig in the German-DFL Supercup.
With tongue firmly in cheek, maybe it was fitting that for his fourth loss in a final, Kane was wearing Bayern’s third strip which for this season is white, a colour he knows well.
But seriously, we should remember that the Germans take their Super Cup as seriously as we do with the Community Shield.
So this loss against the German Cup champion will not worry the £104million signing as he looks to help Bayern win a 12 successive Bundesliga title and a seventh Champions League.
Although looking at this current Bayern team, even plenty of goals from Kane may not be enough to help them cause major damage in Europe this season.
Nevertheless, to get a decent run-out at a packed Allianz Arena, was still the end of head-spinning 36 hours the England captain will never forget.
That’s all from Munich
Harry Kane’s trophyless streak has been extended on his Bayern Munich debut.
Kane came on as a second-half substitute in the German Super Cup against RB Leipzig at the Allianz Arena.
The star striker made his Bayern bow just a few hours after signing his contract.
However, Leipzig picked up a comfortable 3-0 win thanks to a hat-trick by Dani Olmo.
That’s all from us here at SunSport, have a lovely night!

Lineker on Kane replacement
Tottenham legend Gary Lineker has identified Brighton star Evan Ferguson as the perfect replacement for Bayern Munich superstar Harry Kane at Tottenham.
Evan Ferguson scores in Fergie time.
He’s a born goalscorer.
If I was in charge of recruitment at @SpursOfficial I’d take a punt on him as Kane’s replacement. Apologies to @OfficialBHAFC fans”.

Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel apologised to Harry Kane after a “bitter evening”.
I’m just sorry for Harry Kane, he probably thinks we haven’t trained for four weeks.
Our performance today had nothing to do with what we set out to do.
It’s a very bitter evening, I’m sorry.

Harry Kane couldn’t set the world alight on his Bayern Munich debut.
Kane struggled to get into the game against a superior RB Leipzig side.
However, that made sense as the striker played for Bayern only after one trainign session.
That was just a few hours after the England international put pen to paper on his new contract.

What a horror show for Bayern.
Toothless from the start, this was far from the start of the season the Bavarians wanted.
Dani Olmo set the game ablaze with his early strike, before doubling the lead just before half-time.
He then rounded out the scoring with a well taken second half penalty.
Kane came on with 30minutes to go but failed to get into the game, having just three touches of the ball.
His trophyless career continues but their is a long season ahead.
