Bayern Munich's Franz Beckenbauer Supercup shine As Olise dazzles

Olise's impact and goal details

Goals came early, with Nathaniel Brown finding the net in the 28th minute after Michael Olise’s precise pass. Olise doubled the lead with a 45+1 minute strike, and João Silva sealed the win with his 75th‑minute goal.

Dortmund’s hopes dwindled when defender Bensebaini was sent off in the 90th minute, leaving the hosts with a numerical advantage. The dismissal came just before full‑time, cementing Bayern’s control of the match.

Bayern entered the Supercup as defending champions and arrived in fine pre‑season form, having beaten RB Leipzig 3‑1 in their final warm‑up fixture. The victory over Leipzig underscored their attacking intent ahead of the showdown.

Dortmund, meanwhile, displayed resilience in their preparations, having come from two goals down to draw with Roma. That comeback highlighted their determination despite the Supercup loss.

New signing Nathaniel Brown earned his first competitive start for Bayern, contributing directly to the opening goal. His involvement signaled the club’s confidence in the young midfielder.

For Niko Kovač’s side, recent arrivals Konstantinos Karetsas and Joane Gadou were selected in the starting lineup. Their inclusion reflects Dortmund’s integration of fresh talent into the squad.
