Harry Kane and Luis Díaz win Franz Beckenbauer Super Cup for Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich started the season on a high after defeating Stuttgart 2-1 to claim the Franz Beckenbauer Super Cup, a trophy that from this year carries the name of the German legend, according to BeIN Sports. Goals from Harry Kane and Luis Díaz sealed the Bavarians’ first title of the campaign in a match where, despite their superiority, the outcome remained tight until the very end.

Vincent Kompany’s side came out determined to dominate from the opening whistle, pressing high and controlling play in the opponent’s half. The breakthrough came in the 18th minute when a loose ball in the box fell to Harry Kane, who calmly slotted home to make it 1-0, reaffirming his role as Bayern’s attacking leader.

The goal forced Stuttgart to react, creating two clear chances that required interventions from Manuel Neuer. Attempts by Undav and Woltemade weren’t enough to level the score, and Bayern regained control until halftime.

The second half saw the game slow down with fewer opportunities. Kane came close to doubling the lead in the 62nd minute, but the decisive moment arrived in the 77th. The English striker switched play to Serge Gnabry, who delivered a perfect cross into the box for Luis Díaz to rise and head home for 2-0.

The match seemed settled, but in stoppage time a defensive lapse allowed Jamie Leweling to head in for Stuttgart, making it 2-1. The late strike came too late to spark a comeback, and Bayern celebrated their first trophy of the season.

The inaugural Franz Beckenbauer Super Cup goes to Bayern, a fitting tribute to the “Kaiser.” With Kane reaffirming his lethal finishing and Luis Díaz proving he can be decisive in attack, the Bavarians sent a clear message to the rest of Germany: they are ready to fight for everything once again.
