Bayern Munich won their first Bundesliga title of the season on Saturday, defeating RB Leipzig 5-3 to win their 10th German Super Cup.
In the 14th minute, Jamal Musiala defeated RB Leipzig goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi to net the ball into the far post corner.
Sadio Mane, who joined Bayern Munich from Liverpool this summer, extended the lead at the half-hour mark.
The record German champions tripled the advantage just before halftime as Benjamin Pavard latched onto Musiala’s cutback pass from a close distance.
Marcel Halstenberg nodded home Christopher Nkunku‘s free-kick to reduce the deficit for the hosts at the 59th minute, but Bayern responded immediately and restored its three-goal lead after Serge Gnabry made the most on a follow-up shot.
RB Leipzig fought back with two goals from Nkunku and Dani Olmo and pressed Bayern into defense, but Bayern denied their hopes of a comeback in injury time after Leroy Sane finished the job in a counterattack.
