Robert Lewandowski , serving as a Bundesliga substitute for the first time in two years, was well-marshalled by Stefan Posch and Kevin Vogt after coming on for Joshua Zirkzee in the 58th minute.

A day earlier, Dortmund had crashed to a reverse in Augsburg against a team more limited in ability and ambition than Hoffenheim, but who stuck relentlessly to their plan around set-pieces and the occasional sizzling counter-attack.

Dortmund coach Lucien Favre must consider the balance in attack and whether fielding a pair of and year-olds, no matter how gifted, represents the right mix against doggedly streetwise opponents, buoyed by 6, fans that were vocally happy to be getting a taste of football again.

The Dortmund kids with their flicks and tricks are eye catching and often effective, but perhaps not all at once when Marco Reus and Julian Brandt are both available.

In the event, to add to the empty feeling within the Dortmund camp after the weekend, a former Schalke player was the undoing of Borussia Dortmund.

Freekick specialist Daniel Caligiuri , 32 years young, set up Uduokhai's header for the opener before getting on the end of Florian Niederlechner 's threaded pass for the second goal.

Dortmund in their core are a better team when playing at pace on the break. In this sense, the SuperCup might be a more appealing assignment for many in black and gold than was Saturday's trip to Augsburg.

Favre and his coaching staff should certainly have learned a bit about how to damage Bayern from watching Hoffenheim, just as the Kraichgau club learned from Sevilla.

Meanwhile, it's expected that Bayern have conducted a thorough analysis of their Hoffenheim clobbering and Flick conceded at his media conference on Tuesday that "a few guidelines in our game weren't so well implemented.

What Bayern tend to implement so efficiently is their match plan at home against their chief German rivals. For evidence, look no further than wins by margins of , and in the teams' last 3 meetings at the Allianz Arena.

Sane is definitely out for Bayern, with a right knee capsular injury, and will be until after the international break, while Alaba is also a doubt.

No matter what happens against BVB, it's reasonable to question whether the Bayern squad as a whole is deep enough for the unprecedented demands this season will bring.

Transfer activity must still be anticipated before the modified summer window closes on Oct. Dortmund can possibly welcome back Lukasz Piszczek and Nico Schulz following the recent return from injury of Raphael Guerreiro.

Below is a list of the Super Cup winners. There have been a few times where the German champions met the cup winners, without the match being officially recognized.
