Bayern Munich, after stuttering surprisingly over the weekend in the Bundesliga, got back to winning ways after surviving a Borussia Dortmund comeback to clinch the German Super Cup on Wednesday.
The Champions League holders had been humbled 4-1 by Hoffenheim on Sunday but charged in front through Corentin Tolisso’s close-range finish before Thomas Muller doubled their advantage with a header.
Dortmund, however, fought back with Erling Haaland teeing up Julian Brandt before scoring in the 55th minute to level the scores.

Bayern who looked difficult to beat were not to be denied as Joshua Kimmich hit the winner eight minutes from time in odd circumstances, deflecting the ball home after his initial shot had been pushed out by Dortmund’s keeper, Marwin Hitz.
The result means Bayern have already picked up two trophies this season, adding the German Super Cup to the European Super Cup they secured with an extra-time win over Sevilla last week.
Bayern’s talisman, Thomas Müller played in his tenth DFL Supercup on Wednesday against BVB, scored, and was crowned record winner.
He made a decisive contribution to the triumph against Borussia in the 32nd minute and headed the ball into the goal to make it 2-0.
Müller’s powerful header against BVB was his fourth Supercup goal.
