Short victory for Bayern Munich, sluggish winner in Frankfurt (0-1) thanks to Leroy Sané

With forceps. Bayern Munich did the job on the lawn of Eintracht Frankfurt (0-1) on Saturday evening, despite a Kevin Trapp in a state of grace. Launched shortly after the hour mark, Leroy Sané scored the only goal of the game to allow the Bavarians to regain a nine-point lead over Borussia Dortmund, who travel to Augsburg tomorrow.

The luxury joker has struck again. Leroy Sané rewarded the coaching of Julian Nagelsmann by breaking the Frankfurt lock a few minutes after his appearance on the lawn of Deutsche Bank Park. Magnificent served by Joshua Kimmich, the former Manchester City player deceived the vigilance of Kevin Trapp (71st) and scored his seventh goal in the Bundesliga.

Trapp has long repelled the assaults

The Bavarian opener was desired. It could have intervened much more quickly, Bayern Munich finishing the meeting with 21 shots (nine on target) on the clock. But Trapp had decided otherwise. From the top of his seven stops, the Eagles goalkeeper delayed the deadline for a long time. We will particularly remember his double intervention in the first period on Kimmich then Kingsley Coman (38th), stirring on Saturday evening. During the second act, Trapp was replaced on his line by Evan Ndicka (52nd), before releasing two attempts from Robert Lewandowski (59th, 81st).

Scorer five times in the last three meetings, the Pole this time remained silent. This makes it possible to measure the feat of the former PSG goalkeeper. Unfortunately, his teammates were not more inspired. Defeated for the third time in a row in the league, Eintracht Frankfurt remains frozen in tenth place. Bayern, for its part, is heading for a tenth consecutive title by taking a nine-point lead over Dortmund. The pressure is on the shoulders of Marco Rose’s players, who travel to Augsburg on Sunday.
