In the 23rd minute, Ekitike's brilliantly dribbled between Thomas Müller and Konrad Laimer before curling a beautiful shot past Manuel Neuer. Frankfurt only mustered three shots on goal with 0.44 xG, so Ekitike's unlikely finish proved even more important.
Most of this season has seen Bayern fans and critics lamenting the lack of a right back on the squad. Joshua Kimmich has solved that problem, but it's been even more surprising that Mazraoui has stepped up and looked more comfortable than Alphonso Davies at left back during the month of April.
For the first third of the match, Laimer was the best player on the pitch. He was instrumental in applying pressure throughout the midfield and routing the ball to the wings.
