You could say that it was through ‘the luck of the champion’, but in reality it was about talent. A goal from Kimmich, from the ground and pulling genius, tipped the balance this Wednesday in the final of the German Super Cup in which the Bayern Munich conquered what is his fifth title in this 2020. This time at the cost of a Borussia Dortmund That made things harder than it might seem after the Bayern in half an hour he was 2-0 in favor. Those of Lucien favre, but the Swiss coach decided to withdraw from the field of play Haaland and with it gave wings to Bayern. They did not waste it Flick, which adds a title every 8 games directed since he assumed the position of Bayern, and with the aforementioned both Kimmich they managed to prevail.
It was a weight loss encounter. They were not in the Bayern neither Leroy Sané, suffering from a problem in his right knee, nor Praise, with muscular problems, or Goretzka, who fell at the last minute due to back problems. And in Dortmund the goalkeeper was missing Bürki and Jadon Sancho, both due to respiratory infection although not coronavirus.
Between the absences and the lack of public in the stands, everything was quite decaffeinated. Nor was there on the pitch the tension of a title dispute. They both wanted to win, yes, but not even remotely gave the feeling that their lives depended on it.
Undid the marker Tolisso (18 ’) with a goal‘ a la Dortmund ’. Against. Extended the lead for the Bayern Thomas Müller (32 ’), one of those who leave the skin even in training, heading to the net a center of Davies from the left wing. And at the edge of the break it was Brandt (39 ’) who, taking advantage of an error from Bayern in the exit of the ball, gave hope to Dortmund.
In the resumption, those of Favre took a step forward, and with total merit came the tie of Haaland (55 ') by beating Neuer in a heads up. Little by little they both turned the tables. The Norwegian forgave (with much merit from the German goalkeeper). And as someone who forgives ends up paying it Kimmich he scored the winning goal in the 82nd minute. From the ground and with the heel. A goal of genius. Something that confirmed that Bayern have got used to winning. And whoever wants to say that it is luck must bear in mind that it does not come from nowhere. Wanted. How does he Bayern.
