Bayern Munich clinched UEFA Super Cup victory over Chelsea on penalties after a thrilling 2-2 draw at the Eden Arena in Prague on Friday. The Premier League outfit took the lead early in the first half when Fernando Torres brilliantly finished off a flowing move, but it was pegged back shortly after the break by a long-distance Franck Ribery strike. Prior to the game going to extra time, Jose Mourinho's men lost Ramires to a second bookable offense, but they were back in front when Eden Hazard's effort deceived Manuel Neuer to restore their advantage. However, a tap-in from substitute Javi Martinez at the death sent the game to penalties, where Neuer's save from Romelu Lukaku's weak effort handed Bayern the trophy.
