Mane off the mark as Bayern win Supercup

RB Leipzig 3-5 Bayern Munich
Goals: 0-1 Musiala 14' (assist: Hernandez), 0-2 Mane 31' (assist: Gnabry), 0-3 Pavard 45' (assist: Musiala), 1-3 Halstenberg 59' (assist: Nkunku), 1-4 Gnabry 66', 2-4 Nkunku (pen. 76'), 3-4 Olmo 89' (assist: Laimer), 3-5 Sane (90'+8)

The Bundesliga's tradtional season opener was only five minutes old when Mane went within a whisker of turning in a Joshua Kimmich free-kick. Leipzig responded in kind as Manuel Neuer was caught in no man's land, but the rampaging Christopher Nkunku was unable to find a teammate with his cross. Jamal Musiala found his intended target with a smart finish to break the deadlock following a corner. Nkunku had the ball in the net from the restart, only for the goal to be ruled out for offside. Musiala combined with Serge Gnabry to set up Mane for a routine close-range strike, before Benjamin Pavard took advantage of defensive uncertainty to convert Musiala's assist and give Bayern a comfortable half-time lead.

Gnabry dragged an effort wide as Bayern continued in much the same vein, but Leipzig were much improved following the introduction of Andre Silva and Dani Olmo. Soon after the upright denied Silva, Leipzig's persistence was rewarded past the hour when Marcel Halstenberg met an Nkunku corner and looped a header beyond the reach of Neuer. Bayern's response was emphatic, though, as Peter Gulacsi pushed a Thomas Müller cross back out into the danger zone, where Gnabry reacted fastest to restore his side's three-goal cushion. Mane had further efforts chalked off either side of a second Leipzig goal - a thunderous Nkunku penalty awarded following Pavard's foul on Olmo. Leipzig struck again through Olmo in the 89th minute, but Leroy Sane's cool run and finish deep into added time ended all hopes of a comeback as Bayern landed the first blow of 2022/23.
