Bayern Munich kicked off the new season with a victory, retaining the German Super Cup at Signal Iduna Park by defeating Borussia Dortmund 2-1. The Bavarians took an early lead in the 28th minute when Michael Olise combined with Nathaniel Brown, whose low finish evaded Gregor Kobel in the goal. Dortmund managed to equalize shortly after the break, but their goal was disallowed due to offside after a VAR review.
Bayern made it 2-0 shortly before halftime. With 15 minutes remaining, substitute Fabio Silva capitalized on Daniel Svensson's cross, finishing confidently to halve the deficit. Despite Dortmund's late efforts, including substitute Fabio Silva's equalizer and Ramy Bensebaini's red card, Bayern managed to hold on and add the 12th German Super Cup title to their collection.
