Díaz scores on debut for Bayern to win German Supercup

BERLIN, Germany:

Luis Diaz scored and won a title on his Bayern Munich debut after a 2-1 win over Stuttgart in the German Supercup on Saturday.

Harry Kane also scored for the Bundesliga champions to win the least important trophy of the season, opening the scoring in the 18th minute when the ball dropped kindly for him to shoot inside the left post.

"To start with a trophy is the most important thing," Kane said after winning just his second career team title. The Bundesliga in May was his first.

Bayern dominated the early stages but Stuttgart fought back with Nick Woltemade drawing a good save from Manuel Neuer.

Woltemade was and possibly still is a summer transfer target for Bayern. The clubs have so far been unable to agree on a fee despite the player's openness to the move.

"The file is closed," Stuttgart chief executive Alexander Wehrle said before the game.

Diaz joined Bayern from Liverpool last month and remains the club's biggest deal of the offseason.

Stuttgart starts their title defence at Eintracht Braunschweig on August 26 with Bayern playing third-division side Wehen Wiesbaden the following day.
