Goals from Erik Lamela and Christian Eriksen saw Spurs go 2-0 ahead, before Jann-Fiete Arp and Alphonso Davies drew the German champions level after the break.
Spurs, who had Ireland U21 striker Troy Parrott on the bench in Munich, prevailed 6-5 on spot-kicks thanks to a save from Argentine goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga on Jerome Boateng.
Johansson, who was born in Luxembourg but has declared his commitment for Ireland, played against Arsenal in the International Champions Cup and was also on the bench against AC Milan and Real Madrid last week.
He made his Ireland U19 international debut last September against Wales, but was absent for the recent Uefa U19 European Championships in Armenia, where Tom Mohan’s young side made it all the way to the semi-finals.
Parrott featured against Juventus and Real Madrid, but did not make an appearance against Bayern on Wednesday as Tottenham now prepare to complete their pre-season preparations against Inter Milan on Sunday afternoon in London.
