Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich clashed in a season-opening football match for the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup on Saturday, with the Bavarians emerging victorious 2-1. Bayern coach Vincent Kompany fielded Nathaniel Brown, an unfamiliar No. 10 role, in place of the injured Jamal Musiala and Serge Gnabry. Brown capitalized on his new position, scoring the opening goal in the 28th minute.
Just before halftime, Michael Olise assisted Brown, who put the ball past Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel for his first competitive goal.
After the break, Dortmund made several attacking substitutions, only to be rewarded in the 75th minute when substitute Fabio Silva equalized. Despite this, Bayern held on to secure the win, extending their record-extending 12th Supercup title. This victory has set the stage for the upcoming 2026-27 Bundesliga season, with Bayern hosting VfB Stuttgart on August 28 and Dortmund facing Hamburger SV the following day.
