Bayern secure German Supercup as Olise stars in 2-1 win over Dortmund

Olise opened the scoring for Bayern in the 28th minute, and added a second before half‑time to give the German giants a 2-1 lead over Dortmund in the season‑opening Supercup.

Olise drives Bayern past Dortmund

After a strong showing for France at the World Cup, the winger proved decisive on the right flank, first finding makeshift midfielder Nathaniel Brown for the opener and then finishing himself just before the break.

"It's a magnificent victory to kick off the season," Harry Kane told Sky.

Former Wolves striker Fabio Silva pulled Dortmund level with a late goal, but a missed chance from Maximilian Beier in stoppage time preserved Bayern's lead.

Why the trophy matters

Beyond the silverware, the match offered a first glimpse of how Vincent Kompany's Bayern will perform under a new German coach, Jurgen Klopp, who was in the stands. Bayern looked rusty compared with the side that lost only once domestically last season, yet their quality proved enough to overcome a rebuilding Dortmund side playing its first season‑opener since 2021.

Coach Kompany highlighted the hunger to repeat last year’s success, insisting the squad will not rest on its laurels. The decision to start Jobe Bellingham at left‑back and slot Nathaniel Brown into an attacking midfield role paid off, with Brown scoring the opening goal.

What comes next

Both clubs now shift focus to the Bundesliga campaign. Bayern will look to translate the Supercup momentum into a title defence, while Dortmund must address defensive lapses that allowed Olise to create space and score.

With the season underway, the next few weeks will test whether Bayern can sustain their early edge and whether Dortmund can close the gap before the league intensifies.
