Bayern Munich lifted the German Super Cup on Saturday night after defeating Stuttgart 2-1, thanks to goals from Harry Kane and Bryan Diaz.
The match, played at the Allianz Arena, saw Bayern stamp their authority early on, with Kane breaking the deadlock in the first half. The England captain showed his trademark precision, finishing off a well-orchestrated move to give the Bavarians the lead.
Stuttgart, however, fought back with determination. Their pressing and quick counterattacks troubled Bayern’s defense, and they managed to equalize shortly after the break through a composed strike.
But Bayern’s quality proved decisive. Substitute Bryan Diaz restored their advantage late in the second half with a clinical finish, securing the trophy for Thomas Tuchel’s side.
The win gave Bayern a much-needed confidence boost ahead of the Bundesliga campaign, especially after a turbulent preseason. For Kane, it was another milestone as he continues to settle into German football, while Diaz’s goal highlighted Bayern’s depth and attacking options.
With the victory, Bayern once again reminded their rivals of their dominance in German football, while Stuttgart left with pride after pushing the champions hard.
