Luis Diaz scored the decisive goal as Aston Villa were beaten by Bayern Munich in their pre-season friendly in Hong Kong.
German champions Bayern took the lead in the first half through Kim Min-jae’s close-range effort.
Substitute Diaz doubled their lead with a fine curled finish which went in off the underside of the crossbar.
Villa pulled one back late on through Joao Gomes’ well-taken finish from just outside the box.
The Brazil international joined Villa from neighbours Wolves last month in a £38m deal.
Tammy Abraham almost equalised but his header was well saved by Manuel Neuer.
Bayern played several youngsters, while regular starters Michael Olise and Harry Kane did not travel as they recover from the World Cup.
Bayern boss Vincent Kompany said: “I told the players honestly that I was impressed because you know who’s there and you know who’s not there.
“It’s difficult to go into these games and still look [like] the Bayern Munich that we can be.”
Europa League holders Villa face Paris St-Germain in the Uefa Super Cup on Wednesday in Salzburg (20:00 BST).
Villa defender Pau Torres said: “It was a really good game, a really good test for us to prepare for the final next week.
“It’s always good to play against one team like them [Bayern].
“It’s always good to play during the pre-season to test ourselves and to know, more or less, in which level we are.”
