A 23rd round of the German Bundesliga saw FC Bayern München claim a 4-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt in a highly anticipated match.
The first chance of the game fell to Ekitiké in the sixth minute, who narrowly missed the target after a mistake by Ito from eight meters out. On the opposite end, Müller was blocked in the ninth minute and Olise’s follow-up shot went wide.
In the 21st minute, the Crystal Palace newcomer had a great opportunity, but ultimately lost the duel with Trapp. In the third minute of stoppage time, he made amends, capitalizing on Sané’s cross and only needing to tap the ball in. The superior Munich team thus took a narrow lead into halftime.
After the break, the Munich team continued to dominate, but Collins managed to block a potential 2-0 goal in the 53rd minute with a strong tackle. A mistake by the goalkeeper, however, led to a 2-0 score in the 61st minute, as an Olise corner was missed by Trapp, allowing Ito to capitalize on the chaos.
The decisive goal was missed by Sané in the 78th minute, who shot wide from eleven meters out, left of the goal. The icing on the cake was added in the 83rd minute, as Musiala’s solo run left the Frankfurt defense in the dust and ended with a header that found the bottom left corner of the net.
The final nail in the coffin came in the second minute of stoppage time, as the substituted Gnabry outmaneuvered Trap to seal the 4-0 score. This result sees Bayern München maintain a comfortable eight-point lead over Leverkusen in the table, with Frankfurt currently holding the third spot.
