FC Bayern Munich won the first trophy of the new football season after beating Borussia Dortmund 2:1 in the Franz Beckenbauer Super Cup on Saturday, August 22, 2026. The reigning German champion and cup winner succeeded away at the runner-up’s ground one week before the start of the Bundesliga. Der Standard ↗
The Munich team decided the match mainly with its performance in the first half. Bayern’s goals were scored by new signing Nathaniel Brown and winger Michael Olise. Dortmund came close to equalizing near the end, but Bayern held on to its narrow lead even after a wild finish in which a red card was shown. Deutschlandfunk ↗
Brown surprisingly started in the number ten role, and his performance also impressed Germany captain Joshua Kimmich. He praised his football intelligence and compared him to a former teammate. Federal coach Jürgen Klopp was also in the stands, watching the first competitive match of the season between two of Germany’s most prominent clubs. Tagesspiegel ↗
Bayern was also dealing with the attention around Jamal Musiala. Kimmich said his teammate could be an example in the way he is handling the consequences of an illness. Concern was raised by two collapses on the pitch, because of which Musiala is currently out of action. Tagesspiegel ↗
Shortly before the trophy presentation, there was also an unusual situation when an assistant to coach Vincent Kompany stopped a fan running onto the pitch with his body. Bayern thus entered the season with a victory and, before the league opener, confirmed its ambition to build on the successful previous campaign. Die Zeit ↗
