In the 37th minute, the situation on the field changed abruptly, and Leverkusen's new recruit Terrier stepped on Demirovic with a flying tackle and was directly sent off by the referee, which also made Leverkusen have to play one less man in the remaining time.

In the 63rd minute, Ondaf scored a goal from the middle to help Stuttgart complete the reversal 2-1.

Seeing that Bayer Leverkusen was about to lose the title, Czech centre-forward Schick came to the rescue in the 88th minute, receiving a through ball from Grimaldo to complete the equaliser.

With the Super Cup triumph, this is already the third trophy brought by 42-year-old Spain teenager Xavi Alonso in the past five months. The 3 trophies are:Bundesliga winners, Germany Cup winners and Bundesliga Cup winners.

Prior to that, Bayer Leverkusen had won only two major competitions in their history, the Europa League in 1987–88 and the Germany Cup in 1992–93.
