Borussia Dortmund loses Supercup to Bayern München

Borussia Dortmund lost the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup to FC Bayern München with a score of 1-2. The match was marked by a controversial red card issued to Dortmund defender Ramy Bensebaini in the 90th minute following a heavy challenge on Bayern's Ismael Saibari.

BVB Sporting Director Ole Book expressed frustration, describing the dismissal as “very harsh.” While the red card will not affect Bensebaini’s availability for the upcoming Bundesliga season, it may result in a suspension for the DFB-Pokal, as Supercup sanctions typically carry over to the domestic cup competition.
