FC Bayern Munich won the first title of the season. The 2: 1 (1: 0) success at the Franz Beckenbauer supercup was also important because VfB Stuttgart had previously finally ended the poker around Nick Woltemade. The goals scored Harry Kane (18th minute) and newcomer Luis Diaz (77th), the connection of Jamie Leweling (90th+4) came too late.
“I’m very proud. It was about a title, but also to show that we are there”said Bavaria’s midfield boss Joshua Kimmich at “Sat.1”. “We were a bit lucky because Stuttgart also had a few good chances, but the bottom line was it a very deserved victory.”
VfB sports director Wohlgemuth: Woltemade remains “beyond summer”
Crucial happened before the kick -off in Stuttgart. VfB sports director Fabian Wohlgemuth finally closed the door for a change from Woltemade to Munich. “The fact situation is clear and clear: the topic is off the table and it will play football beyond summer. From now on we will no longer deal with the topic”said the 46-year-old a few minutes before the kick-off at “Sat.1”. Bayern had been promoting the striker for weeks.
For Bavaria, it was therefore a matter of achieving a victory against Stuttgart on the pitch after the defeat on the transfer market. At the same time, VfB wanted to successfully start the competitive season with Woltemade, the interest in the supercup success was also great because the Swabians had failed a year ago in penalty shooting against Bayer Leverkusen (3: 4).

Kane shows his colleagues how to shoot goals
However, FC Bayern, to which the short preparation after the club World Cup was not to be seen. Leon Goretzka had the first big chances, a volley shot from 20 meters flew just over (4th), after a great pass from Kimmich he then only shot the ball from a short distance to the outside network (6th). In the first ten minutes alone, the guests came dangerously a few more times in front of the opposing goal.
After 14 minutes, Serge Gnabry was only inches for the lead. But then the one took over the goal shooting, which had already best managed in the Bundesliga in the past two seasons. After an error by Luca Jaquez, Kane sank the ball from 16 meters unsustainably flat in the corner – the well -deserved 1: 0 (18th).
Neuer prevents the round Woltemade story
Only then did Stuttgart get better into the game. After Woltemade had repeatedly left out against Dayot Upamecano, he prevailed and initiated the first VfB opportunity – Deniz Undav Castle from 17 meters, however, derived a little too tentative (22nd). Shortly afterwards, Joshua Vagnoman failed due to the pushering Manuel Neuer (23rd), in the afternoon Woltemade came from a short distance to a big chance, but the ex-national goalkeeper properly speculated again (24th).
After that, the game treated itself to a breath for the first time – and then the Bavarians almost struck again. Michael Olise had the top -class opportunity on the 2-0, but the French exceptional footballer showed that the header game is not one of his strengths and transported the ball over the goal at five meters (38th).

Karazor and Kane take the first chances of the second half
With the start of the start to the game, the first minutes in the second round could not keep up. The game became more torn, the Bavarians no longer played so uncompromisingly and struggled to open their own combination game. In this phase it was more of a struggle for wear than the footballing spectacle of the first 25 minutes.
However, Atakan Karazor then had a great opportunity to compensate for the fact that he did not necessarily have the final qualities of a thoroughbred striker, has not only been known since his accident in the 58th minute from ten meters. At Kane it is different, which was also recognizable four minutes later, but VfB keeper Fabian Bredlow made himself so wide that the Englishman did not get past him from a short distance (62nd).
Neuer prevents compensation, Diaz decides the game
A header from Woltemade over the gate (73.) was the starting shot of the final offensive of VfB. But he had a problem – and that meant new ones. After his double parade in the first half, the world goalkeeper from 2013 to 2016 and 2020 showed impressively after a deflected shot by Jamie Leweling that his reflexes are still extraordinary (74.).
And this outstanding act was then refined by a new colleague. Serge Gnabry was perfectly staged by Serge Gnabry and after a game that had previously been inconspicuous, celebrated his goal premiere in the FC Bayern jersey-he made his first goal a bit atypical (77.).
Stuttgart recovered too late from this setback. After a wide throw -in, Leweling scored the connection goal in the fourth minute of stoppage time, shortly afterwards the game ended. The team of coach Vincent Kompany seems to be prepared for the opening of the Bundesliga season on Friday (8:30 p.m.) against RB Leipzig. Stuttgart starts at Union Berlin a day later (3:30 p.m.).
