Bayern Munich showed character at the Signal Iduna Park on Saturday as they came twice came from behind to draw 2-2 with Borussia Dortmund before goalkeeper Sven Ulreich was their penalty shoot-out hero in the DFL-Supercup.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang appeared to have handed victory to Dortmund with his classy 71st minute goal.
But Peter Bosz's side were unable to hold out during the Dutchman's first competitive game in charge as an 88th-minute goalmouth scramble concluded with a Roman Burki own goal.
Joshua Kimmich instigated Bayern's late leveller but the young Germany star was the first man to falter in the shoot-out , although Ulreich responded by denying Sebastian Rode.
With the score tied at 4-4, Niklas Sule blasted into the top corner for the Bundesliga champions and Ulreich guessed correctly to thwart Marc Bartra.
It meant a welcome fillip for Bayern boss Carlo Ancelotti, who saw his side lose four out of five pre-season friendlies going into a match where they needed Robert Lewandowski to cancel out Christian Pulisic's opener.
