With so much expectations from the much experienced Italian Carlo Ancelotti, he has no doubt made his intentions of bringing laurels and glory to the club known. With a 2-0 defeat to arch rivals Borusia Dortmund at the start of the season shows good signs of better things to come.
Carlo Ancelotti no doubt would be reeling in his hills with the huge task ahead of him, and results left by his predecessor 'Pep Guardiola'. Bayern have waited four years for this victory to come despite been dominant and champions in both Bundesliga title and the DFB-Pokal, one of such as the German Super Cup still eludes them.
Dortmund evidently made the brighter start to the game, and were bidding for a hat trick of Super Cup wins over Bayern. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang squandered a good early chance when he took advantage of a misunderstanding between Philipp Lahm and Mats Hummels to break through. But the Gabonese was quiet indecisive as he waited too long to shoot and Javi Martinez recovered ground to make an important deflection.
Back to back Copa America Cup winner Arturo Vidal broke the deadlock 58th minute, exchanging his position with Thomas Muller, creating space for another shot which Roman Burki, who made the save and had earlier on denied Vidal of a free hearder 38th minute, but this time he showed more composure with the rebound, placing it into the far corner.
Thomas Muller killed the game by heading in a free header from Mats Hummel's cross straight to the far corner of the post 10 minutes from time.
Bayern having recorded their first win since 2012 for the German Cup, have showed good and better things to follow, for new Manager Carlo Ancelotti.
Bravo to the humble Ancelotti!
