Harry Kane hails Bayern Munich victory as Bundesliga giants win Supercup

Bayern Munich officially opened their 2026-27 account with a trophy, overcoming Borussia Dortmund 2-1 to lift the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup. In a challenging encounter at the Signal Iduna Park, the Bavarian giants showcased both clinical finishing and defensive resolve, ensuring Vincent Kompany’s tenure began with a piece of silverware.

Goals from Nathaniel Brown and Michael Olise put Bayern in control, while Fabio Silva pulled one back for the hosts late in the game. Harry Kane, who remains the focal point of the attack, praised the squad's application in a hostile environment.

It was an important win to start the season, especially away at Borussia Dortmund. It was a good way to start. We had a few chances to put the game to bed. Harry Kane

Manager Vincent Kompany expressed pride in the mental fortitude of his players, noting that many had limited training time before being thrust into the full 90 minutes. He emphasized that the focus now shifts immediately to the upcoming challenges of the campaign.

For Dortmund, head coach Niko Kovac was left frustrated by defensive lapses, particularly the goal conceded just before halftime. While the team showed improvement in the second half, they ultimately fell short against their rivals. Veteran goalkeeper Manuel Neuer noted that the win serves as a crucial barometer for Bayern as they aim to maintain their position at the top of German football.
