Dani Olmo scored all three goals in RB Leipzig’s 3-0 Super Cup win to deny Bayern Munich top signing Harry Kane his first-ever career title on Saturday (August 12).

Kane, who became the most expensive Bundesliga newcomer just a few hours before the match, couldn’t do anything to help the Bundesliga champions as he came into the game shortly before Olmo completed his hat-trick from the spot.

German Cup winners Leipzig broke the deadlock with only four minutes played after the ball found Olmo after a mishmash inside Bayern’s box. The midfielder was again on target shortly before the break after pulling off a brilliant spin and control to leave two defenders behind.

The Allianz Arena erupted into a wave of applause when Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel called Kane into the game in the 64th.

But the England captain hadn’t even touched the ball when Olmo sealed the win for Leipzig from the spot after Noussair Mazraoui handled the ball.

Bayern have reportedly paid Premier League side Tottenham €100 million ($110 million) for Kane. Despite being the all-time England and Spurs top scorer, the forward is yet to win a title.

This was Leipzig’s second consecutive win away at Bayern, after they claimed their first-ever win at the Allianz Arena with a 3-1 Bundesliga triumph in May.
