The wildest BVB Supercup clashes with Bayern Munich | OneFootball

1989: Möller fires BVB to their first title

On 25 July 1989, football-loving Dortmund was on cloud nine after the previous cup victory against Werder Bremen (4-1 on 24 June 1989 at Berlin’s Olympiastadion). In the Supercup, newly crowned champions Bayern Munich were waiting in Kaiserslautern.

In front of 16,000 spectators, a spectacular end-to-end battle unfolded. Bayern went into the break 2-1 ahead thanks to Alan McInally (21') and Roland Grahammer (42'). But BVB came out of the dressing room at full speed: Günter Breitzke levelled at 2-2 with his second goal (56'), Jürgen Wegmann then put the Black and Yellows ahead for the first time after just over an hour (64'). Radmilo Mihajlović responded immediately to make it level again (66'). Then came Andreas Möller’s moment: in the 88th minute, he capped it off with a brilliant solo effort to make it 4-3, securing Borussia Dortmund’s first-ever Supercup triumph.

No Supercup match after 1989 has produced seven goals in 90 minutes.

2013: Outstanding Reus and a rampant BVB

Twenty-four years later, Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich met in the Supercup for the third time.

Strictly speaking, it was actually already the fourth meeting between the two top clubs in this format. However, the 2008 edition, which BVB won 2-1 and which incidentally marked the starting point of Jürgen Klopp’s era in Dortmund, is not regarded by the Bundesliga as an official Supercup match.

On 27 July 2013, things were all the more spectacular: Marco Reus put the Black and Yellows ahead in the sixth minute in a sold-out SIGNAL IDUNA PARK. After the break, events came thick and fast: Arjen Robben equalised (54') before an own goal by Daniel van Buyten (56') and a strike from Ilkay Gündogan (57') restored Dortmund’s two-goal lead. Robben pulled one back again (64'), but four minutes from time Reus wrapped it up with his second goal. Two months after the lost Champions League final at Wembley, this 4-2 spectacle was at least a little balm for the Black and Yellow soul.

BVB lined up with: Roman Weidenfeller – Kevin Großkreutz, Mats Hummels, Neven Subotic, Marcel Schmelzer – Sven Bender (46. Sebastian Kehl), Nuri Sahin – Jakub Błaszczykowski (72. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang), Ilkay Gündogan (88. Sokratis), Marco Reus – Robert Lewandowski

2021: Lewandowski brace against Haaland, Bellingham and Co.

The most recent Supercup clash between the two teams took place on 17 August 2021. Once again, the venue was SIGNAL IDUNA PARK, where 24,742 spectators were at least allowed in despite the coronavirus pandemic.

BVB’s lineup included Manuel Akanji, Jude Bellingham and Erling Haaland. What followed was an intense and hard-fought game. Bayern Munich took the lead shortly before half-time through former Dortmund player Robert Lewandowski (41').

Shortly after the restart, Thomas Müller made it 2-0 (50'). But BVB refused to give in: Marco Reus pulled one back in the 64th minute with a superb strike to make it 1-2 and rekindle hope. But ten minutes later, Lewandowski settled the contest with his second goal.

BVB lined up with: Gregor Kobel – Felix Passlack (84. Reinier), Manuel Akanji, Axel Witsel, Nico Schulz – Jude Bellingham (84. Marius Wolf), Mahmoud Dahoud – Giovanni Reyna (78. Marco Pasalic), Marco Reus, Raphaël Guerreiro – Youssoufa Moukoko (58. Donyell Malen), Erling Haaland
