Olise scores as Bayern win German Super Cup

German Super Cup Borussia Dortmund 1 - 2 Bayern Munich FT Michael Olise scored 25 goals in all competitions for Bayern Munich last season [Getty Images] Michael Olise produced a stunning finish as Bayern Munich narrowly overcame Borussia Dortmund to retain the German Super Cup. With Vincent Kompany's side winning both the Bundesliga and German Cup last season, Dortmund qualified for the annual match through their second-place finish. Bayern, who won the trophy last year thanks to goals from Harry Kane and Luis Diaz, took the lead in the 28th minute through German left-back Nathaniel Brown. They did not have to wait long to take a two-goal advantage, as Olise latched on to a loose pass in the Dortmund midfield and used his pace to burst into the box. Despite being knocked off balance, the Frenchman was able to stab a left-footed finish into the far corner from a tight angle. Dortmund - for whom Ramy Bensebaini had a first-half goal ruled out for offside by the video assistant referee - did pull one back with 15 minutes to play through former Wolves striker Fabio Silva. Defender Bensebaini was then shown a red card in the 90th minute for a late challenge on Morocco forward Ismael Saibari. England captain Kane - awarded the Golden Shoe on Wednesday as Europe's top goalscorer for the second time in his career - started up front for Bayern. But he could not find the net as he made his first competitive start of the new campaign.
