Bayer Leverkusen, despite being reduced to 10 men for more than half of the match, triumphed over VfB Stuttgart 4-3 in a penalty shootout after a dramatic late equaliser secured a 2-2 draw in regular time, clinching the German Supercup on Saturday.
Leverkusen, last season`s domestic double winners who suffered just one defeat across all competitions, took only 11 minutes to open the scoring. Edmond Tapsoba headed the ball towards goal at the far post, and Victor Boniface tapped it over the line.
