Borussia Dortmund secured a 4-2 victory over Bayern Munich in the German Super Cup, ending a streak of five winless encounters. The match, played in front of their home crowd, saw a thrilling and high-flying spectacle.
Dortmund took the lead early in the game, with Marco Reus capitalizing on a hand fault by Bayern Munich’s goalkeeper, Starke. Despite numerous opportunities for both teams, the score remained 1-0 at halftime.
Bayern Munich’s Arjen Robben, the same player who had been a thorn in Dortmund’s side in the Champions League final, quickly equalized after the break. However, Dortmund regained the lead through an own goal by Van Buyten and extended their advantage with a goal from Gundogan. Robben managed to pull one back for Bayern, making it 3-2.
A crucial moment came in the 71st minute when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, making an impact in the game, embarked on a run and, despite initially missing a one-on-one opportunity against Starke, eventually stood out. In the 86th minute, Aubameyang assisted Marco Reus for his second goal of the evening, securing a 4-2 victory for Borussia Dortmund and earning Aubameyang his first trophy with the team.
