Borussia Dortmund started the game well, but Bayern Munich soon gained control of the midfield, thanks to the brilliant Thiago. The Bundesliga Champions kept the ball and dictated the tempo of the match. Dortmund coach Lucien Favre knew that he could not beat the opposition in the possession game, so he opted for the perfect foil - counter-attack.

Whenever Dortmund had the ball, they were fast, decisive and direct. Favre's forwards moved the ball fast and regularly caught Bayern off guard. Jadon Sancho, in particular, was devastating in the counter-attack and already looks ready for another breakthrough season ahead. The Englishman set up the first goal and scored the second in a Man of the Match performance.

Every time Dortmund broke into the counter, Bayern looked shaken. The defence was exposed and it took some solid saves from Neuer to keep the scoreline at 0-0 in the first half. However, Favre's tactics worked like a charm in the end, as their fast breaks led to goals in the second half. Ultimately, Borussia Dortmund exposed Bayern Munich with their counter-attacking strategy and won the game.
