Dani Olmo scored a hat trick against Bayern Munich in the German Super Cup final.
RB Leipzig’s Dani Olmo scored a hat-trick to guide them to a 3-0 victory in the German Super Cup over champions Bayern Munich on Saturday, snatching the spotlight from record signing Harry Kane and spoiling his debut for the Bavarians. England captain Kane had signed a four-year deal amid a media frenzy only hours earlier and made a substitute appearance in the second half but could not prevent a season-opening defeat against the German Cup winners.
Things went badly for the Bavarians from the outset, with Dani Olmo sidefooting the ball into the corner of the net from a set-piece just four minutes into the game to give Leipzig an early lead.
Having only arrived in Munich yesterday, Harry Kane started from the bench, with 18-year-old Mathys Tel starting up front. The youngster didn’t make the most of his opportunity and missed a glorious chance to open the scoring in the 16th minute when he shot straight at RB Leipzig goalkeeper Janis Blaswich from a promising position.
Instead, it was Leipzig who doubled their lead on the stroke of half-time after a fine piece of skill from Olmo. Receiving the ball with his back to goal, he performed an audacious turn, leaving two defenders in his wake before finishing through Sven Ulreich’s net.
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.
