Bayern Munich assistant coach Aaron Danks and Borussia Dortmund coach Niko Kovač clashed on the touchline during the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup match, where Bayern won 2-1 against Borussia Dortmund. Kovač criticized Danks' actions after the game without revealing the exact conversation. 'My English is good, so I understood very well what he was trying to say to me. That was not okay. It's on him; he should apologize,' Kovač told Kicker. The tension between the coaches added to the already intense Bundesliga rivalry. Bayern's victory through goals from Nathaniel Brown and Michael Olise, despite Fábio Silva's equalizer in the second half, secured the win. The exchange between Kovač and Danks remained on the pitch and was noticeable to the fans in Dortmund.
