Dortmund got an early lead in the game as their winger Christian Pulisic opened the scoring in the 12th minute of the game. Pulisic got the ball from Bayern Munich defender Javi Martínez and scored the first goal of the match. 18-year-old Pulisic became the youngest goalscorer in the competition history. Six minutes later, Bayern equalized as striker Robert Lewandowski scored a close range tap-in from Joshua Kimmich's assist. The first half ended with 1–1 on the scoreboard. Dortmund's Sokratis Papastathopoulos was the only player to be booked in the first half.

After the half time, Dortmund's Sebastian Rode was substituted in for Mahmoud Dahoud. Later, Bayern made two changes. In the 71st minute, Dortmund's striker Pierre-Emerick Augameyang scored the second goal for Borussia, chipping over Bayern's goalkeeper Sven Ulreich, restoring Dortmund's lead. With the 2–1 on the scoreboard, the match seemed to to end with Dortmund as the winner, but in the 88th minute, Dortmund's Łukasz Piszczek scored an own goal, as the final time finished with a 2–2 draw, and the game proceeded to penalty shootouts.

Robert Lewandowski took the first kick for Bayern and converted it into goal. Joshua Kimmich's kick was saved by Dortmund's goalkeeper Roman Bürki while Rode was denied by Sven Ulreich. The score reached a tie of 4–4. Ulreich stopped Marc Bartra's kick as Bayern won their sixth Supercup title.
