Borussia Dortmund Defeat Bayern Munich 2-0 in German Supercup
By: Opeyemi Oladunjoye
Bayern Munich lost their first competitive match in the new season in a 2-0 defeat as Borussia Dortmund easily won the German Supercup on Wednesday.
Bayern won the Bundesliga by 19 points last season and also beat Dortmund in the German Cup final. But Pep Guardiola’s side failed to impress as they looked out of sorts.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan drove Dortmund ahead before Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang sealed the win with a fine header to give Jurgen Klopp’s side a repeat of last season’s Supercup victory over Bayern.
Both sides were far from full strength, with many of their German World Cup winners only recently back in training after being given extended breaks.
Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery – who has announced his retirement from international duty with France – were both missing for Bayern, so was midfielder Toni Kroos, who has joined Real Madrid this summer.
