German Super Cup final: Bayern Munich 3-1 Borussia Dortmund

Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich have clinched the German Super Cup, after hammering DFB-Pokal winners Borussia Dortmund 3-1 at the Signal Iduna Park. 

The Bavarians broke the deadlock before half-time, thanks to a powerful header by Polish striker Robert Lewandowski. 

Thomas Muller doubled the lead four minutes after the break, with an easy tap-in from a back-heel pass by Lewandowski. 

Dortmund pulled one back in the 64th minute, as captain Marco Reus netted a stunner from outside the box. 

Dortmund's hopes of a comeback were dashed when a defensive mistake allowed Lewandowski to score his brace in the 75th minute.

Bayern Munich have now claimed their first trophy of the season, and also their first under new manager Julian Nagelsmann.
