The game was also special because it was played for the first time as the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup to commemorate the late football legend. Joel Beckenbauer, his son, carried the trophy into the stadium, which gave the event an emotional touch. The players were also aware of the importance of this game. Manuel Neuer, captain of FC Bayern, emphasized the importance of this title and the motivation of his team to be at the top again.

Game history and player performance

FC Bayern started the match better and had early chances through Goretzka, Olise and Gnabry. On the VfB Stuttgart side, Nick Woltemade, who is the focus of Bayern, showed a promising performance, but was denied by Manuel Neuer in an excellent opportunity. Despite a solid performance, Woltemade was forced to disappoint the club again as he remains in Stuttgart beyond the summer. Stuttgart's sports director Fabian Wohlgemuth confirmed this decision and an offer of around 55 million euros from Bayern for the young striker was rejected.

The game took a turn during the second half when Konrad Laimer had to be substituted injured in the 72nd minute, which posed new challenges for the team. VfB goalkeeper Bredlow, who came into the game for the injured Alexander Nübel, also made a valuable contribution to the defense, but could not prevent the two early goals.
