Borussia Dortmund 1-2 Bayern Munich: Olise scores winner and Bensebaini sent off in Supercup

Bayern Munich held off a late fightback from rivals Borussia Dortmund to win 2-1 in the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup, with Michael Olise scoring what proved to be the winner and Ramy Bensebaini being sent off.

Olise was the provider as Nathaniel Brown marked his competitive Bayern debut with the opening goal, then he added a nonchalant finish of his own just before half-time.

Niko Kovac's Dortmund – who were playing on home soil at Signal Iduna Park – put up more of a fight in the second half and teed up a grandstand finish through Fabio Silva's goal off the bench.

Dortmund ended the match with 10 men as Bensebaini saw red for his lunge on another Bayern debutant, Ismael Saibari, though they still squandered one huge chance to take it to penalties, via Maximilian Beier.

Amid a low-key start, neither team truly threatened in front of goal until the 28th minute – when Vincent Kompany's Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal champions took the lead. Olise brilliantly took Joshua Kimmich's raking pass down on his chest before slipping the ball into Brown, who finished low past Gregor Kobel.

Kobel kept Dortmund's deficit at one when he sprung to his left to keep out Luis Diaz's drive, and Kovac's side were denied an equaliser by the offside flag when Bensebaini headed home at the other end.

Brown was close to getting his brace for Bayern soon afterwards, but it Olise who got the second goal in first-half stoppage time, latching onto a loose pass from Jobe Bellingham before scampering into the area and finishing with the outside of his left boot.

Having only had one shot in the first half, Dortmund showed more impetus after the break with Konstantinos Karetsas forcing a sharp save from Manuel Neuer, and Silva got them back in the contest with 15 minutes to play, finishing from Daniel Svensson's left-sided centre via a slight deflection.

Dortmund's hopes of a fightback suffered a major blow when Bensebaini received his marching orders, though Beier still should have sent the contest to spot-kicks when he blazed high over Neuer's crossbar in the 93rd minute.

Olise maintains dazzling form as Bayern win curtain-raiser

Dortmund's participation in this fixture was a result of their second-place finish in the Bundesliga last season, with Bayern doing a German domestic double.

And Kompany's men showcased their superiority once again as Dortmund became only the second team to lose in three straight appearances in the Supercup, after Bayern did so between 2013-14 and 2015-16 (BVB also lost in 2019-20 and 2020-21, in their last two appearances).

Olise was the star of the show, off the back of a 2025-26 campaign in which he registered more assists than any other player from Europe's top five leagues, with 26, before breaking the single-tournament assist record at the 2026 World Cup (seven).

On Saturday, Olise created the joint-most chances of any player on the pitch (four, including the assist for Brown's goal, level with Diaz), while also playing the joint-most passes into the final third (31, level with Kimmich), in addition to his well-taken goal.

Bayern's victory, meanwhile, secured a landmark moment for Neuer, who tied Thomas Muller for the most Supercup appearances by any player (12) and became the competition's first nine-time champion.
