Nicklas Bendtner was the unlikely hero of the German Super Cup, scoring a last-gasp equalizer and netting the winning penalty kick to claim the first title of the season for Wolfsburg.
Last season’s DFB Pokal winners beat Bayern Munich with a 5-4 shootout victory at the Volkswagen Arena following a 1-1 draw inside 90 minutes. Arjen Robben scored early in the second half but an inspired substitution from Dieter Hecking helped Wolfsburg fight back late in the match — Bendtner scoring on 88 minutes.
The much-maligned center-forward then stepped up to strike home the winning penalty kick, leaving Pep Guardiola and Bayern Munich without the Super Cup prize in their last three attempts.
