“Monster defender” Kim Min-jae made his first official appearance in a Bayern Munich jersey in German professional soccer, but the Bavarians were unable to lift the trophy as they were defeated by Leipzig .Kim started the second half of the 2023 German Football League (DFL) Super Cup match against RB Leipzig at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, on Wednesday (Sept. 13), replacing Matthias Düricht and played until the end of the game .It was the official match debut of Kim Min-jae, who moved to Munich ahead of the season after a stellar career with Napoli in the Italian Serie A.Kim, whose signing was announced on March 19, warmed up in preseason matches, starting with a friendly against Kawasaki Frontale (Japan) in Tokyo on March 29, and came on as a substitute in the team’s first official match of the season. With Dayo Upamecano and Diricht’s starting center back combination, Munich faltered after conceding two goals to Leipzig in the first half, and brought on Kim in the second half to try and fight back, but lost 0-3 and dropped the Supercup trophy. In Munich, Harry Kane, who was benched as soon as he finalized his move from Tottenham, made his official debut in the 18th minute of the second half after being replaced by starting striker Mathis Thiel. Kane, who boasts of ‘great chemistry’ with Son Heung-min at Tottenham and will now play alongside Kim Min-jae, went straight from the announcement of his signing on Wednesday morning local time to the match later that night, but had to watch his team lose.After more than a decade 바카라사이트 at Tottenham, where he broke all sorts of individual scoring records and was “irrelevant” to the team’s performance, Kane came close to winning a title in his first game with the German “top-flight” club, but it didn’t happen this time .The German Super Cup pits the winner of the previous season’s Bundesliga against the winner of the German Football Association Cup (DFB-Pokal) in a one-off match, and for the second year in a row, it pitted Munich against Leipzig. Munich won their 11th consecutive Bundesliga title last season, while Leipzig won the Pokal in 2021-2022 and 2022-2023.In last year’s Supercup, Munich won 5-3 to claim the title for the third year in a row and a first-ever 10 titles, but this year Leipzig came out on top for the first time .Leipzig’s Dani Olmo was the star of the show, responsible for all three of his team’s goals. Olmo opened the scoring just three minutes into the match after a cross from the left flank, where she collected the loose ball in a scramble and finished with her right foot from the left side of the goal area, and added a second in the 44th minute. Munich looked to reorganize their defense at the start of the second half, replacing Derrikht with Kim Min-jae and starting right-back Benjamin Pavard with Noussaïr Mazroui, but a penalty kick in the 23rd minute for a handball foul on Mazroui gave Olmo another goal.
