HONOURS EVEN
It's all over. Bayern have drawn their third game in a row and the Bundesliga table is looking very interesting as a result. The hosts led through a Leroy Sane opener in the first half but Eintracht battled back and scored through who else but Randal Kolo Muani. Bayern top the standings by a point from Union Berlin. Eintracht are in fifth, five points behind the Bavarians.

FRANKFURT LEVEL !
What a goal! Kolo Muani scores against Bayern for the second time this season. A breakaway for Eintracht sees the French forward feed Kamada and then take the ball back. Inside the area on the left, Kolo Muani holds off Upamecano and sends the ball across Sommer and into the far corner.
67'
KAMADA FRUSTRATION
Kamada draws raised hands from Oliver Glasner on the touchline. The Eintracht sub stepped up to take a corner and then slipped right before contact, sending the ball trickling wide.

HALF TIME
A very entertaining half ends with Bayern in front, Leroy Sane with the game's only goal thus far. This one is still very much alive so don't go anywhere!

ALMOST FRANKFURT
Just for a moment, it looked like Lindström might storm away towards the Bayern goal but the Dane lost control at a crucial moment. We'll have two minutes of added time at the end of this first half.

MUSIALA MAGIC
Musiala draws the oohs and ahhs from the home crowd with a sublime piece of skill. Sane's subsequent strike is easily gathered by Trapp.

Upamecano should really have made it 2-0. The defender gets to the back post unmarked but never gets his attempted header right and the ball bounces wide.

Choupo-Moting plays a one-two with Müller, the Bayern forward cutting back for the onrushing Raumdeuter. Tuta gets in the way of Müller's subsequent dig at goal.

EVEN CONTEST
Bayern were already on their way to victory by this stage in the corresponding fixture in Frankfurt at the start of the season. Today's hosts eventually won that game 6-1. This game has an altogether different feel.

SOMMER YELLOW
Kolo Muani bounds through on the left and Sommer wants to come and meet the French forward. Bayern's new shot stopper has his eye on the ball but he misses it and downs Kolo Muani outside the area. That's a booking for the goalkeeper.

Bayern are beginning to look very dangerous. Musiala is almost in after a poor Eintracht defensive header allows the 19-year-old to have a look. Then Kimmich picks out a Sane's run around the back with a flighted pass. Kevin Trapp needed to be alert to claim the ball off his line.

"MAKE LIFE DIFFICULT"
Here's Eintracht coach Oliver Glasner on what his side need to do at the Allianz Arena this evening: "We have to be compact and exploit the spaces afforded to us by winning our running duels and developing a goal threat. They usually commit a lot of players forward, which creates spaces for us. We want to make life difficult for them with the qualities at our disposal."
TALE OF THE TAPE
Eintracht picked up maximum points on their last visit to Munich back in October 2021. That was a rare win for the Eagles at the home of the record champions, however. Bayern have had more home triumphs against Eintracht in Germany's top flight than against any other club, today's hosts winning 41 of 51 league encounters between the sides in Bavaria.
