Scene of the game:
Naming the winning goal as the game scene is actually rather lukewarm in terms of originality.
But in this case you can't get past the 82nd minute.
Joshua Kimmich runs towards Dortmund goalkeeper Marwin Hitz after preliminary work by Robert Lewandowski, shoots and falls to the ground, Hitz parries, the ball comes back close to Kimmich, and the national player gets his foot on the ball while lying down, somehow the ball goes on Goalkeeper over and spins into the net.
Technology?
Sake?
Happiness?
Pure energy?
Probably all together.
Like last time in the second half of the Bundesliga season, an artificial shot from Kimmich decides the game against BVB.
Result of the game:
FC Bayern Munich finally wins again: 3: 2 (2: 1) with goals from Corentin Tolisso, Thomas Müller and Kimmich.
Julian Brandt and Erling Haaland had meanwhile made up for the balance.
It was the fifth title for Bayern coach Hans-Dieter Flick, during which time his team lost three times.

The first half:
A game of the Bundesliga seventh against the Bundesliga tenth, and that's how it went for a long time.
With numerous mistakes in the build-up of the game, inaccuracies in the passing game, crosses into nirvana.
Both coaches had rotated vigorously, in such constellations it happens, but in such constellations goals are scored.
Only two for Bayern, because BVB had largely left their defense at home in the first 25 minutes and invited Bayern to counterattacks after their own corner ball situations.
Then Julian Brandt met because the Bayern defense was sleeping.
The second half:
BVB came out of the break much more concentrated, the first minutes belonged to Haaland: First he equalized after Lewandowski had carelessly lost the ball to Delaney, then he had the lead on his foot, but failed on the outstretched hand by Manuel Neuer.
The best scene of the goalkeeper who wants to be Europe's Footballer of the Year on Thursday but played some negligent passes forward in the first half.
When the first thought about a possible penalty shootout, Kimmich came and wanted the ball into the goal.
Player of the game:
You don't really want to believe that Erling Haaland is only 20 years old.
The force in the middle of the attack, when he sets his kilos in motion, is impressive.
He's a one-man stampede.
After an hour, the Norwegian was replaced, and immediately the Dortmund offensive glory was over.
Personnel of the game:
Referee Bibiana Steinhaus is only 41, so she could continue to divorce for six years until reaching the age limit, but with the game on Wednesday she put an end to her career.
She was the only referee in the Bundesliga in 2017, and has remained so to this day.
There were flowers to say goodbye, Steinhaus cited "private reasons" for the surprising end of his career, but the "kicker" suspects that a lack of performance test could have been a reason for the sudden departure.
Change of game:
FC Bayern has until Monday to expand its squad, nothing else has been talked about in Munich for days.
The "Sportbild" now even brought Hoffenheim's Andrej Kramaric into the discussion, to whom Bayern allegedly have been present.
That Kramaric, who scored two goals in a 4-1 win over Bayern on Sunday.
It was actually thought that it was just an ancient joke that Bayern always wanted to sign the players who score against them immediately.
Are you kidding me? Are you serious when you say that.
Julian Brandt should watch his phone.
Quote from the game:
"At times it has something of a test game," muttered ZDF live commentator Oliver Schmidt.
You owe him thanks for the "phased".
Realization of the game:
The burden, the burden.
It is the big issue in the league at the moment, every day Joshua Kimmich's schedule is scrolled through until Christmas to prove how grueling the appointment baiting is currently.
Obviously no one came up with the obvious idea of simply not playing such an irrelevant title like the Supercup, but rather leaving it out.
