There were 31 long balls from goalkeeper Oliver Baumann ; in one case, it resulted in a goal five touches later. Aware of Bayern's high line, Hoffenheim used quick, piercing balls into the belly of a wobbly rearguard.

It helps, of course, to have a commanding attacker like Andrej Kramaric causing havoc, and it's no surprise Bayern legend Lothar Matthäus, now a TV analyst, has recommended that his former club sign the nimble Croatian international.

In a wide-open game, Hoffenheim created substantially more chances than the European club champions even with much less of the ball, putting eight of their 17 attempts on target.

For Hansi Flick, it was a chastening experience against a team he has served both as coach and sporting director in the past; rarely do you see a Bayern side with so many players off their game at the same time.

At right-back, World Cup winner Benjamin Pavard had his shakiest outing since joining from Stuttgart. David Alaba and Jerome Boateng exuded little confidence in the middle, while in the wide areas, Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sane were a far cry from the stars of the opening night show against Schalke.

Robert Lewandowski , serving as a Bundesliga substitute for the first time in two years, was well-marshalled by Stefan Posch and Kevin Vogt after coming on for Joshua Zirkzee in the 58th minute.

A day earlier, Dortmund had crashed to a reverse in Augsburg against a team more limited in ability and ambition than Hoffenheim, but who stuck relentlessly to their plan around set-pieces and the occasional sizzling counter-attack.

Dortmund coach Lucien Favre must consider the balance in attack and whether fielding a pair of and year-olds, no matter how gifted, represents the right mix against doggedly streetwise opponents, buoyed by 6, fans that were vocally happy to be getting a taste of football again.

The Dortmund kids with their flicks and tricks are eye catching and often effective, but perhaps not all at once when Marco Reus and Julian Brandt are both available.

In the event, to add to the empty feeling within the Dortmund camp after the weekend, a former Schalke player was the undoing of Borussia Dortmund.

Freekick specialist Daniel Caligiuri , 32 years young, set up Uduokhai's header for the opener before getting on the end of Florian Niederlechner 's threaded pass for the second goal.

Dortmund in their core are a better team when playing at pace on the break. In this sense, the SuperCup might be a more appealing assignment for many in black and gold than was Saturday's trip to Augsburg.

Favre and his coaching staff should certainly have learned a bit about how to damage Bayern from watching Hoffenheim, just as the Kraichgau club learned from Sevilla.
