Borussia Dortmund faced Bayern Munich in the Supercup, with Niko Kovac fielding a team that included Waldemar Anton in place of Filippo Mane. Joane Gadou and Konstantinos Karetsas made their competitive debuts for Dortmund. The hosts began aggressively, with Konstantinos Karetsas playing a crucial role in setting up Daniel Svensson's pass.
Bayern Munich dominated possession but struggled to create scoring opportunities. Dortmund showed promise after ten minutes, with Serhou Guirassy missing a chance after Karetsas' offside cross. Bayern Munich eventually took the lead through Nathaniel Brown's strike from a central position. Dortmund nearly equalized shortly after but missed the mark when unmarked.
Gregor Kobel made a crucial save, blocking a Luis Diaz shot from close range. Despite Bayern Munich's chances throughout the match, they couldn't find the back of the net until the 75th minute when Harry Kane's shot flew over the crossbar. Dortmund managed to score again in the 85th minute, this time through a fast move down the left by Fabio Silva. The match concluded with a 2-1 victory for Bayern Munich, with BVB's Joey Veerman making his debut.
