Bayern Beats Dortmund To Lift German Supercup
Franz Beckenbauer Supercup: Bayern Munich beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1 to win the season-opening Franz Beckenbauer Supercup on Saturday.
With Jamal Musiala and Serge Gnabry sidelined, Bayern coach Vincent Kompany deployed new signing Nathaniel Brown, normally a defender, in an unfamiliar No. 10 role, and the 23-year-old repaid his coach's faith by opening the scoring in the 28th minute, reported Xinhua.
Joshua Kimmich sent a long ball towards Michael Olise, who held off the Dortmund defense on the edge of the area before laying the ball off for Brown. The Germany international made no mistake, guiding a composed finish past goalkeeper Gregor Kobel for his first competitive goal for Bayern.
