Few hours after joining German champions, Bayern Munich for £86m, Harry Kane had opportunity of winning his first trophy when he came on as a 64th-minute substitute in the German Super Cup, only for RB Leipzig to hand them a 3-0 defeat.
There were huge cheers at the Allianz Arena when the England captain came on, but he was denied a perfect debut as Spain international Dani Olmo scored a hat-trick for Leipzig.
Kane, 30, is the record scorer for his former club Tottenham Hotspur with 280 goals and the leading Three Lions goal scorer with 58 goals.
RB Leipzig will see this victory as revenge for their 5-3 loss to Bayern Munich in the same match last season.
Like the FA Community Shield in England, the German Super Cup is the curtain raiser for the German Bundesliga and is played between the Bundesliga champions and the German Cup winners.
Bayern Munich will commence their Bundesliga title defence on Friday when they will take on Werder Bremen.
