Results Bayern vs Sevilla European Super Cup 2020 on September 25

Final: Bayern 2-1 Sevilla
Scored: Goretzka (34); Javi Martínez (104) – Ocampos (13 pen)

After a resounding 8-0 victory over Schalke last weekend in the first round of the 2020/21 Bundesliga, coach Hansi Flick confidently stated that “we should have scored a few more goals.” Bayern owns a football in which scoring a dozen goals in a game is completely real.

The “gray lobster” is pressing hard on the opponent’s goal, the players move at high intensity, coordinate fast and finish with precision. The level of each individual is maximized in a cohesive and cohesive system.

In last season’s Champions League, Bayern usually took just 15 seconds after winning the ball to finish in the opponent’s goal. They have a total of 44 shots of this dizzying form, the highest in the league. In addition, Bayern only allowed the rival to pass an average of 8 passes before they were recovered. Those numbers demonstrate his ability to push to great heights.

Interestingly, Bayern’s rival Sevilla in the 2020 European Super Cup also showed high-pressure football on the way to winning the Europa League last season. The wingers were often under high pressure to put pressure on the opponent. Sevilla’s defense often holds the ball almost 40 meters from the goal, the second highest in the 2019/20 Europa League.

However, while Bayern’s system continued to function flawlessly, Sevilla suffered significant losses. Left-back Sergio Reguilon moved to Tottenham and number one central midfielder Ever Banega also moved to play in the Middle East. It should be noted that Reguilón was the most important factor in Sevilla’s game last season thanks to his mobility and comprehensive dexterity and to Banega as a reliable stop in midfield.

Although there are still two names mentioned above, Sevilla is still drowning than Bayern. The Champions League champions have a number of world-class players with destructive gameplay. After the incorporation of Leroy Sane, Bayern’s attack was like a tiger that grows wings. Robert Lewandowski continues to search for senses, despite the fact that he is 32 years old, and Serge Gnabry always shines in great battles.

The three names mentioned above, of course, start at the beginning of the European Super Cup match because simply to win the title, each team does not need to pitch the strongest team. The remaining face in Bayern Munich’s attack is none other than “space hunter” Thomas Muller.

After the departure of Thiago Alcantara, the Bayern midfield officially belonged to the Kimmich vs Goretzka duo, so Tolisso or Javi Martínez may have to have a long reserve. With Kimmich being pushed to midfield, Pavard no longer worried about losing interest as a right-back as Sule replaced Boateng with Alaba.

On the left flank of the defense, however, Alphonso Davies “silver arrow” was not selected, but Lucas Hernández was replaced by Lucas Hernández. Indeed, Davies may be more prominent last season, but it is important to remember that Hernández is still the World Cup champion (with the French team), brought in by Bayern for up to 80 million euros. level.

As for Sevilla, the substitute Escudero is the one who assumes the position of left back left by Reguillon while the “new but old” face of Rakitic (recently returned to Sevilla from Barça) will assume the responsibility of organizing the heavy game. was played on Banega’s shoulder.

It is not clear if due to the utmost respect for Sevilla that Bayern entered quite moderately, not as strong and strong as the usual style. So for the first 10 minutes, the dominant teams in Germany not only didn’t have a clear chance, they also conceded first.

David Alaba is said to have pushed Rakitic close to the goal and the referee signaled the 11m point. After speaking with the VAR team, the decision was confirmed and Ocampos quietly fooled Manuel Neuer to give Sevilla a 1-0 lead.

With the advantage, the Andalusian team played with more confidence and more fully deployed the defensive method: the counterattack that was carefully described before the match. Almost the majority of Sevilla’s squad is concentrated in the home field, forming a multi-layered defense system.

However, despite the difficulties, Bayern are not at the level of the white opportunity. In the 22nd minute, Lewandowski broke the offside trap to catch the ball in the 16m50 area, then reached down the middle for Muller to cut the ball to the lock, but the ball was deflected.

In the 26th minute, Pavard launched a daring shot off Goretzka’s pass, but the ball still missed the mark. As the 31st minute approached, Lewnandowski had a chance to face goalkeeper Bounou, unfortunately he finished too softly and the ball was shortened.

But then what is to come must also happen simply because Bayern is unstoppable at the moment. At 34 minutes, Lewandowski released the ball just after Goretzka calmly shoved his heart into goalkeeper Bono’s net from outside to kick the ball into Muller’s 16m50 area.

Immediately afterwards, it appeared that Sevilla gave a surprise when forward Luuk De Jong defeated Neuer, but the linesman raised an offside flag. Although it was granted, the LaLiga representative continued without hesitation, firmly maintaining the game.

At the beginning of the second half, Manuel Neuer had to save Bayern after a pass from Luuk De Jong from the left wing. In the 51st minute, Sevilla’s network had to vibrate for the second time.

Sane put the ball into the 16m50 area and Lewandowski and Muller made a tantalizing combination of opponents near the goal. Finally, Lewandowski put the ball into the net. However, after consulting the VAR, the referee did not recognize the goal due to an offside error.

Not wanting the game to go into extra time, Bayern gradually accelerated the pace of the game and tried to attack, but the Sevilla defense played extremely low, there were consecutive situations of blocking the ball before it could threaten. the goalkeeper Bono.

In the 63rd minute, the third time of the game, the ball entered Sevilla’s net with a powerful shot from Leroy Sane, but the referee kept refusing because he thought Lewandowski had made a mistake earlier.

In the 73rd minute, Tolisso replaced Sane with a close-up, leaving Gnarby’s tectonic line wasted. A few minutes later, Muller launched a quick finish but it wasn’t difficult enough to defeat the Sevilla goalkeeper.

After 88 minutes, the Bavarian “Gray Lobster” must taste bitter fruit if goalkeeper Neuer does not reflectively stop En-Nesyri’s shot.

The 1-1 score remains until the end of 90 minutes of official play, which means that both sides must go into overtime. In the 93rd minute, En-Nesyri quickly eliminated the Bayern midfielder, but was still unable to beat Germany’s number one goalkeeper over the years.

Finally, in the 104th minute, Bayern Munich also scored a second goal. Starting from a corner, David Alaba fired a left-handed shot that made Bono unable to hit. The ball bounced and Javi Martínez just entered the field and hit the high connector, hitting the net of the Europa League champion.

The task of the German team in second overtime was only to defend the result and they completed it with ease. Even Bayern had some more situations but could not transform into a third goal.

Still, the 2-1 win is enough for Flick’s teachers and students to take another title after last season’s treble. This is the second European Super Cup in Bayern Munich’s history after the first trophy in 2013.
