Dortmund 1-2 Bayern Munich: Olise & Brown fire Kompany's side to Supercup glory (full match highlights)Bayern Munich clinched the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Borussia Dortmund at a sold-out Signal Iduna Park, with 81,365 fans witnessing Vincent Kompany's first trophy as Bayern manager in a match that lived up to its billing as a classic German derby. The visitors dominated from the outset, with Nathaniel Brown opening his account for the club in the 28th minute, firing past Gregor Kobel from Michael Olise's assist, a goal that showcased the young defender's composure under pressure. Luis Diaz nearly doubled the lead in the 37th minute, but Kobel produced a fine save to deny the Colombian, and Ramy Bensebaini's goal was ruled out for offside following a VAR review in the 42nd minute, a decision that sparked heated debates among the Dortmund faithful. Just before the break, Olise showcased his individual brilliance, driving through the Dortmund defense with a mazy run to slot home for 2-0, leaving Kobel with no chance. Dortmund emerged with renewed energy after the interval and pulled one back in the 75th minute through substitute Fabio Silva, who finished calmly from Daniel Svensson's cross to give the hosts a glimmer of hope. Maximilian Beier had a golden opportunity to equalize in the 89th minute but blazed over the bar from close range, a miss that will haunt him for weeks. Bensebaini was shown a straight red card in stoppage time for a reckless challenge on Ismail Saibari, compounding Dortmund's misery. Bayern registered 21 shots with 10 on target compared to Dortmund's 8, and enjoyed 61% possession, underlining their superiority throughout the contest. The full match highlights and all goals are available to watch, and this victory serves as a statement of intent from Kompany's Bayern, while Dortmund will need to work on their finishing if they are to challenge for silverware this season.
