February 23, (THEWILL) – Bayern Munich dominated Eintracht Frankfurt with a commanding 4-0 victory at the Allianz Arena, extending their lead at the top of the Bundesliga to eight points. Michael Olise struck in first-half stoppage time, converting from Leroy Sane’s delivery before Joshua Kimmich departed with an injury concern.
The Bundesliga leaders strengthened their position after the interval when Hiroki Ito capitalised on Kevin Trapp’s error from a corner kick in the 61st minute. Harry Kane made his return from a calf injury as a substitute, though Sane missed an opportunity to increase the advantage with 12 minutes remaining.
Jamal Musiala enhanced the scoreline in the 83rd minute with an individual effort, demonstrating his technical ability to pierce through Frankfurt’s defence. Serge Gnabry completed the scoring in added time, finishing through Trapp’s legs after excellent build-up play from Kingsley Coman.
The result maintains Bayern’s strong position ahead of their UEFA Champions League last-16 encounter with second-placed Bayer Leverkusen. The statistics underline Bayern’s superiority at home against Frankfurt, marking their 43rd Bundesliga victory over the opposition at the Allianz Arena – a competition record between two teams.
Bayern’s defensive excellence continues to impress, with Sunday’s result representing their 12th clean sheet of the current campaign, surpassing their total from the previous season. Their home form remains exceptional, with only two points dropped at the Allianz Arena throughout 2024/2025, establishing the best record across Europe’s major leagues.
