The win extended their lead at the summit of the standings to 10 points. The Bavarians started the match with purpose and opened the scoring after just 36 seconds. Kingsley Coman’s deft cross found an unmarked Leon Goretzka, who headed home from close range. Frankfurt struggled to find their footing against the rampant champions, and Bayern doubled their advantage before halftime. Jamal Musiala collected the ball outside the box and unleashed a stunning curling shot that nestled in the top corner. After the break, Bayern continued to control the tempo of the game. Serge Gnabry made it 3-0 with a clinical finish into the bottom corner in the 64th minute. Frankfurt’s misery was compounded in the closing stages when Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting rounded off the scoring with a header from another Coman cross. The result saw Bayern extend their unbeaten run in the Bundesliga to 11 matches. They now sit 10 points clear of second-placed Union Berlin, who drew 2-2 with Borussia Mönchengladbach. Meanwhile, Frankfurt’s hopes of securing a top-four finish suffered a blow as they remain in eighth place. Bayern’s victory was a resounding statement of their intent in the title race. Their superior quality and relentless attacking prowess proved too much for Frankfurt to handle. Coman was a constant threat down the Bayern left, while Goretzka and Musiala continued their impressive form in midfield. The Bavarians’ defense was also solid, with Manuel Neuer making a number of routine saves to keep a clean sheet. For Frankfurt, the defeat was a sobering reminder of the gap between them and the Bundesliga’s elite. Adi Hütter’s side will need to regroup quickly if they want to challenge for a European place this season.
