Bayern Munich showcased their dominance in the Bundesliga with a convincing 4-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt, reinforcing their position at the top of the league.
The match, held on February 24, 2025, saw Bayern reclaim their 8-point lead over second-placed Bayer Leverkusen after the latter won their match against Holstein Kiel. The reigning champions exhibited impressive form, having won 7 of their last 8 games.
Bayern kicked off the match aggressively, with Jamal Musiala almost finding the net early on, but his effort was blocked. Frankfurt’s goalkeeper, Kevin Trapp, also kept out Olise’s shot at the 22nd minute. The breakthrough came just before half-time when Leroy Sané assisted Michael Olise, who calmly slotted the ball home to give Bayern the lead.
The second goal arrived for Bayern shortly after the hour mark, with new signing Yosuke Ito scoring from a corner—a remarkable moment as it marked his first goal for the club. Ito, who had sustained injuries earlier this season, enjoyed his return to the starting lineup.
Jamal Musiala put the game beyond doubt at the 83rd minute with sensational solo play, firing past Trapp to make it 3-0. The final touch came from Serge Gnabry, who finished off the scoring with a deft shot after receiving the ball from Kingsley Coman.
Bayern maintained pressure throughout the match, keeping the Frankfurt defense under constant scrutiny. Even following the decisive victory, they face potential challenges, with Musiala and Joshua Kimmich dealing with fitness issues, Kimmich exiting the game early due to injury.
“That’s two big wins we’ve had recently,” said Bayern’s Sports Director Max Eberl, highlighting the team’s resilience. “But we need to address our injury concerns going forward.”
The match also served as preparation for both teams as they anticipated facing each other again soon, this time in the knockout stages of the Champions League, scheduled to start on March 5 at the Allianz Arena.
Across the Bundesliga, other matches unfolded with drama, including RB Leipzig bouncing back from two goals down to draw 2-2 and Borussia Dortmund securing their first win under new coach Nico Kovac.
The victory places Bayern firmly on the right track to compete for yet another Bundesliga title. With their squad’s depth and talent, the prospects for the remainder of the season seem bright, as they continue to execute their game plan effectively and stack up victories.
