Vincent Kompany secured his second DFL-Supercup as Bayern Munich defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-1, while Romelu Lukaku made his return to action with a 20-minute cameo for Fenerbahce in the Turkish Süper Lig, according to recent sporting reports.
Bayern Munich Claims DFL-Supercup Under Kompany
According to reports from L’Équipe and Foot Mercato, Bayern Munich captured its twelfth German Supercup and its second in a row by overcoming Borussia Dortmund 2-1. The fixture, which traditionally matches the Bundesliga champion against the DFB-Pokal winner, featured a Bayern side powered by Michael Olise. Because the Rekordmeister claimed both domestic titles in the prior campaign, Dortmund qualified for the match as the league’s runners-up.
Fenerbahce Rebounds with Romelu Lukaku on the Pitch
In the Turkish Süper Lig, Fenerbahce bounced back from an opening-day defeat by defeating Konyaspor 4-2 at home. Vedat Muriqi opened the scoring in the 7th minute before Ebrima Colley leveled for Konyaspor three minutes later. Mason Greenwood restored the hosts’ lead in the 20th minute, and Marco Asensio added a third before halftime. Greenwood sealed his brace in the 49th minute, and Deniz Türüc capped the scoring in stoppage time (90+4′). Romelu Lukaku entered the match in the 69th minute as a replacement for Muriqi, playing roughly twenty minutes to help Fenerbahce secure the three points.
