This match, held on Sunday, showcased a resilient Bayern side that struggled to maintain their lead after initially going ahead in the first half.
The game unfolded with Bayern taking an early lead, but Frankfurt quickly responded, demonstrating their prowess by taking a 2-1 advantage. However, Bayern regrouped and surged back into the lead with goals from Dayot Upamecano and Michael Olise, bringing the score to 3-2. Unfortunately for the Bavarians, Omar Marmoush equalized in the dying minutes, marking his second goal of the match.
Despite the defensive lapses that allowed Frankfurt to score three times on quick counter-attacks, Kompany highlighted the positive aspects of his team’s effort. “This was a tough game against a team that was second in the Bundesliga,” he noted during the post-match press conference. He emphasized the importance of teamwork and the commitment displayed by his players, stating, “When I look at how the team worked and ran for each other, it is a positive performance.”
Bayern Munich is currently navigating a challenging stretch, having not won any of their last three matches across all competitions. Their previous games included a draw against Bayer Leverkusen and a defeat to Aston Villa in the Champions League.
