Mané wins the decisive duel against Rode.

The multi-legged Müller puts through directly for Gnabry, who snips the ball past Trapp at full speed.

40 minutes: The Munich team slow down a bit and stand lower.

The Munich leave the 3-0.

Frankfurt has moved up a long way, but loses the ball as it moves forward. Gnabry is completely free and through.

He puts the ball across to Müller in front of Trapp, who stumbles the ball against the post.

The world champion has to do that!

22 minutes: Long ball to the agile Knauff.

But goalkeeper Neuer was careful and came out of his box.

He hits the ball away from the Dortmund loan player for Eintracht.

20 minutes: Frankfurt has collected something and condenses the center.

This is how Eintracht keeps Bayern away from their own sixteen.

15 minutes: Next attack by FC Bayern.

Musiala comes in from the left and hits the ball against the side netting.

The early leadership for Munich!

Kimmich caught keeper Trapp completely wrong-footed with a free kick.

The national goalkeeper offers the Swabian the corner of the wall around which the FCB professional snips the ball.

The ball is wonderfully placed and goes to the inside post and from there behind the line.

Was the goalie of the goalie intoxicated by the pyro-fog around him?

DAZN expert Sandro Wagner says: "He probably didn't have the best view."

3. Minute: The smoke has cleared and it continues.

The Munich put a first header well over the goal.
