Overview

• Luis Díaz headed the decisive second goal in a 2-1 win over Stuttgart to secure the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup on his competitive debut.
• He joined from Liverpool last month in a £65.5 million (€75m) deal after two failed attempts to extend his contract, according to ESPN.
• Díaz described the switch as a gamble and said he sought advice from Liverpool’s Florian Wirtz before leaving Anfield.
• He dedicated his goal to former Liverpool teammate Diogo Jota, who died in a car accident last month.
• Harry Kane praised Díaz’s one-on-one threat and 15–20 goal potential and warned the squad looks light, as sporting director Christoph Freund lauded the winger’s work rate.
