He set up Nathaniel Brown for the opening goal in the 28th minute, marking Brown's first official goal for Bayern.

Just before halftime, a defensive error by Jobe Bellingham allowed Olise to launch a swift counter-attack. The English-born player capitalized, scoring the second goal with a precise finish. Borussia Dortmund managed to pull one back with 15 minutes remaining through Fábio Silva, following a collective defensive lapse by Bayern.
