FC Bayern Munich has won the national Super Cup after the European one. In front of the empty stands at the national Allianz Arena, the champions and cup winners defeated Borussia Dortmund 3: 2 (2: 1). Corentin Tolisso (18th minute), Thomas Müller (32nd) and Joshua Kimmich (82nd) scored for Bayern, Julian Brandt (39th) and Erling Haaland (55th) were successful for BVB.
Compared to the Bundesliga weekend, when both clubs suffered surprising defeats, the coaches notably changed their starting lineups: Hans-Dieter Flick moved to five positions, Lucien Favre brought in six new players, including captain Marco Reus, who suffered an injury in February. for the first time in the Dortmund starting XI.
Consequently, the teams did not seem well rehearsed at first. Bayern scored the first goal on a counterattack after a Dortmund corner: Müller showed his vision in the center and put Robert Lewandowski on the right wing, who played flat in on Tolisso who had run. On the first attempt, BVB goalkeeper Marwin Hitz managed to direct the ball towards the lower edge of the crossbar, Tolisso pushed the rebound from a few centimeters above the goal line (18 °).
Following a playing error by Manuel Neuers, BVB had a chance to equalize. A poorly timed pass from Mahmoud Dahoud prevented Reus from getting a better final position, whose shot was harmless (24th). Bayern were more efficient, after a midfield cross from Alphonso Davies, Müller won the head duel against Felix Passlack at the far post and made it 2-0 (32nd).
Dortmund presents opportunities and compensations
Brandt found himself before the break: After Benjamin Pavard lost the ball, Reus and Erling Haaland put the ball into the penalty area to the national player, who surpassed Neuer with a forceful shot from a good ten meters. Immediately after the break, only Meunier gave up the chance to equalize (47th), after an interface pass from Thomas Delaney Haaland improved it, escaped his guards and made it 2-2 (55th).
Just four minutes later, Haaland had a chance to turn the game around completely: a strong reflex from Neuers, who directed the ball past the goal with his right hand, prevented a 3-2 Dortmund. By contrast, BVB conceded too much to the only retirement, which Kimmich punished late: after Delaney’s stick error, the Bayern six conquered the ball and appeared in the penalty area after playing with Lewandowski. Hitz was able to save the first conclusion: when he fell, Kimmich happily caught the rebound with his left leg and directed the ball over the BVB goalkeeper towards the goal (82 °).
