Initial reactions and Observations<\/p>\n
Bayern struggled mightily in the second half. The whole team was overwhelmed by Dortmund of all teams, which isn\u2019t a great look ahead of the new league season.Gregor Kobel saved at least five Bayern goals tonight. Fair play to him.Kim Min-jae gets a special shoutout because he\u2019s visibly improved ever since he was put on the club\u2019s sell list. Kudos to him.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s all everyone! Bayern retains the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup by beating Borussia Dortmund. Join us next week when Bayern opens the Bundesliga against Stuttgart at the Allianz Arena. See you then!<\/p>\n
