Eintracht Frankfurt Stuns Bayern Munich: Bayern Munich, the eleven-time defending Bundesliga champion, faced a crushing defeat as Eintracht Frankfurt emerged victorious with a remarkable 5-1 win at the Deutsche Bank Park. This marked the end of Bayern’s six-match league win streak, delivering their first league defeat of the season.
Despite Bayern’s possession dominance, Eintracht Frankfurt outclassed them on a rain-soaked afternoon. The tone was set early when Frankfurt’s Ansgar Knauff capitalized on an Alphonso Davies slip, driving into the box and narrowly missing a goal in the opening minute.
Eintracht’s persistence paid off in the 12th minute when Omar Marmoush capitalized on chaotic play, putting the host 1-0 up. The lead extended as Éric Junior Dina Ebimbe scored in the 31st minute, making it 2-0. Frankfurt added more misery as Hugo Larsson finished brilliantly in the 36th minute, bringing the score to 3-0.
Bayern managed to pull one back just before halftime, with Joshua Kimmich scoring a magnificent goal. However, Frankfurt continued to dominate in the second half, with Dina Ebimbe securing his second and Frankfurt’s fourth.
Eintracht’s fifth goal came in the 60th minute as Ansgar Knauff found the net. The Video Assistant Referee (VAR) confirmed the goal, sealing Bayern’s 5-1 defeat. The loss meant Bayern missed a chance to go top of the league.
After the match, Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel attributed the defeat to a lack of intensity, stating, “The individual mistakes are too many and glaring.” Forward Thomas Müller conceded that Frankfurt deserved the win.
Bayern’s next challenge is in the UEFA Champions League against Manchester United, with the German side aiming to bounce back after the disappointing defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt.
