Robert Lewandowski double downs Dortmund as Bayern Munich win Super Cup

Robert Lewandowski scored a goal to help Bayern Munich beat Borussia Dortmund 3-1 and win the German Super Cup to give coach Julian Nagelsmann his first victory on Tuesday.

Lewandowski, who scored a record 41 goals in the Bundesliga last season, opened the scoring in the 41st minute and got the decisive third goal in the 74th after Marco Reus had pulled one back for Dortmund.

Haaland had a goal ruled out for offside in the 53rd minute before Reus managed to reduce the deficit in the 64th with a stunning curled effort.

Dortmund’s hopes of a comeback were snuffed out when Lewandowski pounced on an error by Manuel Akanji and fired a low drive into the bottom corner to make it 3-1 in the 74th minute as Bayern secured their first trophy of the season.

“I’d like to start hoarding titles,” Nagelsmann said after claiming his first with his first win as Bayern coach. “My predecessor and the players, they collected a lot.”

The Super Cup was preceded by a minute’s silence for former Bayern and West Germany great Gerd Müller, though it quickly became a minute’s applause as Thomas Müller (no relation) held a jersey with Müller’s old No. 9. Müller, who was known as “Der Bomber” for his scoring prowess, died Sunday, aged 75.
