Bayern Munich won the Champions League last month and won the treble after taking home the trophies of their two domestic leagues, the German Bundesliga and the DFV pocal, last season. This time they also took home the Super Cup trophy. Champions League best Bayern beat Europa League champions Sevilla 2-1 in the Hungarian capital, Budapest, on Thursday night to win their fourth title of the season. After the first half ended in a 1-1 draw, Bayern had to wait until extra time to smile at the winner. For Sevilla, Argentine forward Lucas Ocampos Hulen scored the first goal, while German midfielder Leon Goretska and Spanish defender Martinez scored twice for Bayern. Spectators were not allowed to enter the stadium even though the European competition returned to the field last month after a deadly coronavirus break. However, in the Bayern-Sevilla match, UEFA allowed about 20,000 spectators to play on the field. However, corona infections are on the rise in many European countries, including Hungary.
Despite offering offensive football throughout the match, Bayern Munich fell behind at the start. Ocampos put Sevilla ahead in the 13th minute. At that moment, David Alaba pushed Ivan Rakitic into his own D-box. Ocampos beat Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer (1-0) in a shot from a spot-kick on the cold head of the referee's whistle. Bayern tried their best to return to the match after falling behind. They kept the Sevilla defense busy in one attack after another, but the goal could not be seen. Eventually, success is met. Bayern gets the goal. The Champions League winners scored in the 34th minute of the match. Robert Lewandowski gave the ball to Leon Goretska with Thomas Mueller's cross. Goretska (1-1) scored on a great volley on the right foot. Sevilla had a chance to advance at the start of the second half, although both teams went to the break with a draw. In the 48th minute of the match, Netherlands striker Luke de Young touched Suso's cross from the left side. However, Nayar stopped the ball with extraordinary skill. In the 51st and 63rd minutes of the match, Bayern sent the ball into the net twice. But the referee canceled first due to Polish striker Lewandowski's offside goal and then due to a foul by German winger Leroy Sun.
Bayern wasted the opportunity in the 58th minute. Sane got the ball after Serge Nabri's shot from the left side was returned by goalkeeper Yasin Bono. But his shot was blocked by Sevilla's defensive wall. After that, two more chances were lost but Bayern's lead increased. In the 6th minute, Alabar's free-kick went over the crossbar. Lucas Hernandez's volley was not on target in the 6th minute. On the contrary, in the 6th minute, Sevilla sat down to get the winning goal. Sevilla's Moroccan substitute Youssef N-Nesiri found Nayar alone in the counter-attack. Nayar jumped his left foot shot and returned it. N-Nesiri took a shot from midfield in the 90th minute but Bayern was not in danger. As a result, the match ended in a draw 1-1.
In the second minute (92 minutes) of extra time, Nayar disappointed N-Nesiri again. His ground-biting shot hit Nayyar's leg and was intercepted. Martinez entered the field in the 99th minute and found the net address within five minutes. Bono got a ball from his teammate's corner and took a shot. But he failed to completely clear the danger. Martinez (2-1) made Bayern happy with a perfect header. Sevilla's Sergio Escudero then had a chance to level the score. The Lewandowski-Mারllers also had several chances to widen the gap. However, no one succeeded. As a result, Bayern left the field after winning the match 2-1.
German club Bayern Munich is the champion for the second time. Earlier, they had won the title in 2013. On the other hand, after winning the championship in 2006, the Spanish club Sevilla has reached the final of the Super Cup five times in a row.
