Rapid start
After the minute of silence for the victims of the war, an attractive football match began. Jamal Musiala, who replaced Thomas Müller, who was again infected with the corona virus, missed two good chances for Bayern early on on his 19th birthday. But Eintracht also had a brilliant opportunity to take the lead through Filip Kostic.
After a quarter of an hour the game calmed down a bit in front of at least 25,000 spectators in the Frankfurt stadium.
Kevin Trapp with several saves
Kevin Trapp, who made an outstanding save in Eintracht’s 2-1 win in the first leg, showed his skills with a long-range shot from Kingsley Coman (24′). Bayern dominated the game and again just missed the lead after a header from Lewandowski (34′). Then Trapp was the focus again, who dropped a shot from Joshua Kimmich, but then made up for his mistake with Coman’s follow-up shot (39th).
N’Dicka with a spectacular rescue
The dominance of Munich increased in the second half. Evan N’Dicka, one of three Frankfurt central defenders, cleared spectacularly just before the line with a header (53′), Trapp just as remarkable against Lewandowski (60′).
Only Leroy Sané, who came on as a substitute four minutes earlier, overcame the Eintracht goalkeeper. After a precise pass from Kimmich, Sané made it 1-0 for the champions with a low shot (71st). The goal of the “Joker” should be enough for Bayern’s 19th win of the season.
