"Jonathan Tah flew through the air in added time to artistically intercept a dangerous long ball, accompanied by a relieved murmur from the Bayern fans, who were nervous towards the end. After a very dominant first half and a seemingly comfortable three-goal lead after Harry Kane's brace and Aleksandar Pavlović's goal, Bayern had allowed Eintracht back into the game. A victory of enormous value"
"The victory, achieved after impressive dominance over large spells and a nerve-wracking final phase, is invaluable for Bayern, who will travel to Dortmund boosted by the success. "We took ourselves out of the game to some extent," said head coach Vincent Kompany: "Frankfurt did a really good job towards the end, but we were very dominant for large spells and did a lot of things right. We must learn from it and are in a perfect position for the next game.""
Bayern dominated the first half, controlling midfield and the final third to create numerous chances and take a three-goal lead through Harry Kane's brace and Aleksandar Pavlović. Eintracht capitalised on a penalty and a defensive mistake to reduce the deficit to 3-2 and forced a tense finish. Jonathan Tah made a crucial late interception to deny a dangerous long ball and preserve the win. Vincent Kompany noted the team conceded too much late but praised overall dominance and said the result leaves Bayern in a strong position for the upcoming Dortmund fixture.
