Watch: Vidal taps in rebound shot to open DFL-Supercup scoring
Reuters
It took almost an hour, but Bayern Munich finally opened the scoring over Borussia Dortmund in the DFL-Supercup, with Chilean midfielder Arturo Vidal tapping in his own rebound to give the Bavarians a 1-0 lead.
Vidal's goal came off a Robert Lewandowski pass against the run of play as Dortmund had commanded 55 percent of possession up to that point, outshooting Bayern 18 to six with both teams sharing four shots on target.
But for Bayern, those numbers won't matter.
Carlo Ancelotti's side is desperate to redeem three consecutive failures in the competition, having lost to VfL Wolfsburg last season, and to Dortmund in both 2013 and 2014.
