Sadio Mane scored to help Bayern Munich defeat Leipzig 5-3 and win the German Super Cup, when Bayer Leverkusen and Cologne were upset in the first round of the German Cup.

Jamal Musiala, Mane and Benjamin Pavard all scored in the first half as 10-time Bundesliga champions Bayern threatened a rout in Leipzig. But the visitors needed Leroy Sane to seal the win in the eighth minute of injury time after Marcel Halstenberg, Christopher Nkunku and Daniel Olmo pulled Leipzig back into the game.

Serge Gnabry also scored for Bayern. The annual Super Cup between the league and cup champions is traditionally the curtain raiser for the new German season, but it was denied that honour due to a congested schedule with cup games taking place already on Friday and earlier on Saturday, when third-division club Elversberg stunned Leverkusen 4-3.

Patrik Schick scored late for Leverkusen — who finished third in the Bundesliga last season — but Elversberg survived four minutes of injury time to reach the second round. Leverkusen had been wasteful up front, especially in the first half, and with big gaps at the back, only managed to pull a goal back through Patrik Schick in the 89th.

They failed to get past the first round of the competition for the first time in 11 years and will need to raise their game next week when they face Borussia Dortmund in their Bundesliga opener. Cologne lost to second-division team Jahn Regensburg 4-3 on penalties after their game ended 2-2 with extra time.

It was a repeat of their previous meeting in February 2021. Wolfsburg, the other Bundesliga team in action, edged fourth-tier Carl Zeiss Jena 1-0. Paderborn routed fifthtier Einheit Wernigerode 10-0, while second-division rivals Hamburger SV, St Pauli, Fortuna Dusseldorf, Greuther Fürth and Heidenheim all came through their respective games.

Borussia Dortmund and Stuttgart progressed on Friday. Bayern’s and Leipzig’s cup games were postponed to the end of August due to their participation in the super cup. Pavard keen to stay Chelsea have been dealt yet another transfer blow this summer as Benjamin Pavard is keen to stay at Bayern Munich, according to reports.

One of the Blues’ main tasks for the summer window was to sign reinforcements for their defence following the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen to Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively.

Despite completing the signing of Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli, Thomas Tuchel’s side have been unsuccessful in the recruitment of other players for the backline. Chelsea have lost out on the likes of Matthijs de Ligt and Jules Kounde, with the latter seemingly close to a move last year but opting to join Barcelona this summer.

Tuchel is thought to still be keen on bringing another two centre-backs before the end of the window, but there is a sense that time is now running out for the club to strengthen for the new campaign. This is now more likely to be the case, considering another one of their targets is now set to be ruled out.
