Olise helps Bayern past Dortmund in German Supercup

Bayern Munich secured a 2-1 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the season-opening German Supercup on Saturday, with Michael Olise scoring the opening goal and creating another. Olise, who had a standout performance during France's World Cup run, was the team's primary threat on the right flank. He assisted Nathaniel Brown, who scored the opening goal for Bayern in the 28th minute.

Olise then added his second goal just before halftime. Despite Dortmund's late efforts, Bayern maintained their lead. Harry Kane, Bayern's striker, praised the win, stating that it was a great start to the season and a first away victory against their league rivals. The victory marked Bayern's 12th Supercup win, with the trophy renamed in honor of club legend Franz Beckenbauer in 2025.

Bayern coach Vincent Kompany emphasized that the win demonstrated his team's hunger to replicate last year's achievements, stating that they had no intention of resting and would continue to strive for success. Kompany made an unexpected selection choice, starting left-back Nathaniel Brown in midfield, a role in which Brown initially struggled but ultimately secured Bayern's lead with his well-placed shot.

Ramy Bensebaini evened the score for Dortmund shortly after halftime, only for Olise to restore Bayern's advantage just before the break. Despite strong efforts from Dortmund, particularly in the second half, Bayern held firm, and the match ended with a 2-1 victory for the home team.
