19′ Frankfurt are keeping the pressure on Bayern here and Kostic is still finding a lot of space down the left. He squares another low cross into the middle and Toure runs onto it, but drills his effort just wide of the far post.
17′ Bayern are pushing forward and trying to find an equaliser. Davies pulls away from Toure to swing another cross into the box from the right, but it’s just behind Sane and Frankfurt are able to break again.
15′ CHANCE! Younes spots Neuer well off his line and decides to have a go from the halfway line. It’s dipping towards goal and the keeper is quickly tracking back, but luckily for him, the shot flies wide of the target.
14′ Frankfurt take the corner short and Younes makes a weaving run between the Bayern defenders to get to the byline from the right. He keeps it in play and his low cross is deflected up off Neuer and Boateng has to head it over the bar.
12′ Kostic made an overlapping run on the left to get the ball from Rode, before drilling a low cross into the middle.
12′ FRANKFURT LEAD! None of the Bayern defenders spotted Kamada’s run into the middle of the box and he had a free run at Kostic’s cross. He pokes it towards goal first time, Neuer is wrongfooted, and it nestles into the bottom corner. 1-0 Frankfurt!
10′ The game is back underway as they’ve found someone to replace the linesman and Trapp goes long with his goal-kick, but it’s too long for Jovic and he can’t keep it in play.
8′ Frankfurt are the only side still unbeaten in 2021, picking up 22 of a possible 24 points (W7 D1) – a league-high. Opponents, Bayern, have the second-highest points tally since the turn of the year (19).
6′ Play has been brought to a stop at the moment as one of the linesmen has a problem with his ankle. He won’t be able to continue officiating, so the players are having to wait until a replacement has been sorted.
4′ CHANCE! Frankfurt break quickly and Kamada pulls a cross back from the byline. Younes steps away from Boateng to get into space but just slips as he takes the shot and the defender gets back to block it.
2′ It’s a great ball lifted over the top for Lewandowski to run into down the right of the box, but he can’t find any space for a shot as he’s closed down by Ndicka. He lays it off for Sane, but he fires his shot high over the crossbar.
1′ Jovic gets the game underway for Frankfurt!
The team are coming out onto the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away.

They face a Frankfurt side that are unbeaten in their last 10 games in the Bundesliga (W8 D2) since a 2-1 defeat to Wolfsburg in mid-December.
