  • Kim Min-jae played a full match in his first official game for Bayern Munich, contributing to their Supercup victory.
  • Despite playing the entire game and achieving a 94% pass success rate, he received a neutral rating, being considered the third-choice center-back.
  • The South Korean defender's performance was assessed by German media following Bayern's win over Borussia Dortmund.

Kim Min-jae played a full 90 minutes in Bayern Munich's 3-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the German Supercup, marking his first official appearance for the club. He recorded a 94% pass success rate and received a neutral rating from German media outlet 'TZ'.

Despite his full participation and contribution to the win, the assessment from 'TZ' placed him as the third-choice center-back in the team's hierarchy. This evaluation comes after a match where Bayern secured their first title of the season.

The South Korean defender's performance was part of a dominant display by Bayern, who secured the trophy with goals from Serge Gnabry, Leroy Sané, and Jamal Musiala. The win sets a positive tone for Bayern's season, though Kim Min-jae's individual standing within the squad's defensive options appears to be under scrutiny.
