The 2-1 scoreline might suggest a closely fought Franz Beckenbauer Supercup, but Bayern Munich's performance told a different story.
Vincent Kompany's side controlled the match for long stretches and dictated the tempo, particularly during a dominant first half that saw Bayern Munich take a 2-0 lead. Nathaniel Brown and Michael Olise provided the goals, with Olise also setting up Brown for the opener.
Bayern Munich's control was reflected in the numbers, with the reigning Bundesliga champions enjoying the majority of possession and producing considerably more accurate passing than Borussia Dortmund. Their ability to consistently keep the ball, move Borussia Dortmund around and establish territory in the final third was a major reason they were able to build their advantage.
BVB improved after halftime and Fabio Silva pulled one back in the 75th minute, but Bayern Munich remained composed under pressure.
Ultimately, the statistics backed up what the eye test showed — Bayern Munich was the better side and deserved their first trophy of the season.
