The German champions started the match with a bang, as Jamal Musiala opened the scoring in just the third minute. The 19-year-old playmaker latched onto a loose ball and unleashed a powerful shot that found the bottom corner. Bayern continued to press their advantage, and Robert Lewandowski doubled their lead in the 44th minute. The Polish striker converted a penalty after Dortmund defender Mats Hummels was adjudged to have fouled Alphonso Davies. After the break, Dortmund looked to mount a comeback, but their hopes were dashed by another Bayern goal. Thomas Müller headed home Joshua Kimmich’s cross in the 74th minute to put the game out of reach. Erling Haaland did manage to pull one back for Dortmund with an acrobatic volley in the 89th minute, but it proved to be merely a consolation. Bayern’s victory not only secured their first trophy of the season but also extended their dominance over Dortmund. The Bavarian giants have now won the Supercup for the 11th time, while Dortmund have never won the competition. The match also marked a milestone for Lewandowski, who became Bayern’s all-time top scorer in competitive matches with 312 goals. The striker overtook Gerd Müller, who had held the record since 1979. For Dortmund, the defeat was a setback in their efforts to challenge for the Bundesliga title this season. However, they will have the opportunity to redeem themselves when the two teams meet again in the league on September 3.
