Colombian winger scores on his competitive debut for Bayern Munich in a victory over Stuttgart in the German Supercup.<\/p>\n

Luis Diaz, making his Bayern Munich debut, and Harry Kane scored for the reigning Bundesliga champions in a 2-1 away victory against Stuttgart in the German Supercup.<\/p>\n

The match, which opens the German season with the league and cup winners facing off, was held for the first time since it was renamed for football legend Franz Beckenbauer, who died in 2024.<\/p>\n

A year into their attacking partnership, Michael Olise and Kane were again Bayern\u2019s most dangerous pairing, combining for the opener with 18 minutes played.<\/p>\n

Off balance and falling, Kane collected Olise\u2019s pass and hit a low shot across the grass and into the bottom corner for his 86th goal in his 97th Bayern appearance.<\/p>\n

Pushed on by a 60,000-strong home crowd, Stuttgart went looking for an equaliser late in the second half, but Bayern broke through on the counter, with Diaz heading in from close range in the 77th minute.<\/p>\n

Diaz \u2013 who joined Bayern from Liverpool last month and remains the club\u2019s biggest deal of the offseason \u2013 ran to the corner post and sat on the grass, mimicking former Liverpool teammate Diogo Jota\u2019s video-game celebration.<\/p>\n

It was the latest tribute for Portugal winger Jota, who died in a car accident in July.<\/p>\n

Stuttgart pulled a goal back through Jamie Leweling in stoppage time.<\/p>\n

The win netted Kane a second team trophy of his career after the 32-year-old broke his duck to win the Bundesliga last season.<\/p>\n

Praising his charges for a \u201cdeserved win\u201d, Bayern captain Joshua Kimmich said the victory would set the tone for the season.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to show everyone that we\u2019re here. Wins and titles are not a given \u2013 we have to appreciate them,\u201d Kimmich told Germany\u2019s Sat 1 network.<\/p>\n

Bayern open the Bundesliga season on Friday at home against Leipzig, while Stuttgart face Union Berlin in the German capital a day later.<\/p>\n
