Regardless, Bayern Munich took care of business in a convincing way and even withstood a late charge from the Black and Yellows. Let’s dive into the details, here are some quick hitters on the match: As always, let’s begin with a look at the starting XI: Our fist official line-up of the season! Let’s bring this trophy home 👊 pic.twitter.com/lmAmMhQYM5— FC Bayern (@FCBayernEN) August 22, 2026In what will surely be the most talked about aspect of this match, Nathaniel Brown started at the No. 10 position, while Konrad Laimer played right-back and Josip Stanišić at left-back. Admittedly, this was one of the least expected combinations for a starting lineup that there could have been.

On a different day, he might have walked out with a hat trick. Early on, it was a spirited effort from BVB as Niko Kovač seems like he is getting the team play his style. As we know, Kovač would add to the fire later in the game.In the 28th minute, Brown would make Kompany look smart as he put Bayern Munich on the scoreboard. A lofted ball into the box found Olise, who was cutting in. The next part is debatable — did Olise mean to get the ball to Brown or was it knocked away? It was actually too tight to tell, but Sofascore credited the Frenchman with an assist, so we will go with that. Regardless, Brown found the ball on his foot and deftly took care of business for a 1-0 lead. Aside of the goal, Brown had struggled to find his place in the game to that point.
