Match Summary: Bayern Munich vs. Sevilla FC:

Bayern Munich kicked off the match and started to play aggressive as everyone expected. Even after playing so aggressive and dominating, they ended up conceding a goal in the 12th minute of the game itself. Rakitic was fouled inside the box by David Alaba, for which the referee awarded Sevilla a spot-kick. Lucas Ocampos converted the penalty sending Manuel Neuer the wrong way. Bayern scored the equalizer in the 33rd minute when Lewandowski assisted a smart pass to Goretzka, who struck the ball into the back of the net. Just after that, Sevilla scored another goal but was ruled out as an offside. Bayern was still dominating the game but did not manage to achieve goals after that.

However, the second half was exciting as Bayern scored two goals, but both of them were given as offside. The score at the full time remained 1-1 and went to extra time. In the 104th minute, Alaba took a shot at the goal, saved by the Sevilla goalkeeper. Still, the ball deflected directly towards the substitute Javi Martinez who ended up scoring the winning goal of the game. Sevilla players were very disappointed. Although Sevilla lost the game, they did earn respect from the fans as facing a team like Bayern is not easy. They gave their best, but Bayern was the better side and deserved the win. Bayern won their second UEFA Super Cup, and now it is time for them to celebrate their victory.
