Dani Olmo scored a hat-trick to lead RB Leipzig to a 3-0 victory against champions Bayern Munich in the German Super Cup on Saturday, taking the limelight away from record signing Harry Kane and derailing his debut for the Bavarians.
Hours earlier, England captain Kane signed a four-year contract amid a media frenzy. He came on as a substitute in the second half but was unable to stop the team's season-opening loss.
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 reported Bundesliga record 100 million euros, 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.
