Olise scores as Bayern see off Dortmund in German Supercup

Michael Olise was the standout performer, scoring one goal and creating another, as Bayern Munich edged out old rivals Borussia Dortmund 2-1 in the season-opening German Supercup. Olise, who had a starring role for France at the World Cup, proved to be Bayern's most dangerous attacker, consistently threatening down the right flank.

Bayern took the lead in the 28th minute when Olise found Nathaniel Brown, playing in an unfamiliar attacking midfield role, who calmly slotted home. The lead was doubled just before halftime when Olise capitalized on a misplaced backpass from Jobe Bellingham, skillfully evading defenders to score Bayern's second.

Borussia Dortmund, undergoing a rebuilding phase, showed improvement in the second half and managed to pull a goal back through Fabio Silva in the 75th minute. However, they missed a golden opportunity to equalize deep into stoppage time when Maximilian Beier scuffed his shot with only the goalkeeper to beat.

The victory marked Bayern's 12th German Supercup title and their second consecutive win since the trophy was renamed in honor of club legend Franz Beckenbauer in 2025. Despite appearing somewhat rusty and not displaying the dominant form of the previous season, Bayern's quality ultimately proved decisive against a Dortmund team still finding its footing. New German coach Jurgen Klopp was present, observing Bayern boss Vincent Kompany's tactical decisions, including the surprising selection of Brown in midfield.
