Bayern quickly fell into a bitter defeat in Frankfurt. Omar Marmoush (12th), Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe (31st, 50th), Hugo Larsson (36th) and Ansgar Knauff (60th) scored against the record champions, who made mistake after mistake in front of 58,000 spectators. Joshua Kimmich’s goal (43′) shortly before the half-time whistle was just a glimmer of hope, after the restart and now with Konrad Laimer on the right in the back four, Eintracht were quickly back on track. Salzburg narrowly overturned an offside position at 1:5. The Munich team, led by Harry Kane, who was harmless this time, left the field as losers in the league for the first time since May.
