Sharing is Caring

Midfielder Javi Martinez was Bayern Munich’s hero as the Spaniard came off the bench to score an extra-time winner in the 2-1 Super Cup win over Sevilla.

Bayern struggled to score against Sevilla, who had been unbeaten since February – a run that included a triumph in the Europa League.

Sevilla opened the scoring through Lucas Ocampos penalty in the 13th minute.

Leon Goretzka levelled the scores in the 34th minute.

Sevilla made a great start to extra-time with Bayern in all sorts of trouble, as Ocampos had a shot blocked while En-Nesyri’s shot clipped the post after crashing off Neuer’s leg.

Martinez, who also scored in the 2013 Super Cup, headed the winner five minutes after coming on.

Bayern Munich have now gone 32 games without a defeat. It was their 23rd win in a row.
