Marmoush nets deep in stoppage time as Bayern pegged back by Frankfurt

Omar Marmoush scored late in stoppage time to deny Bayern Munich victory in an action-packed 3-3 draw at the Deutsche Bank Park as Eintracht Frankfurt extend their unbeaten Bundesliga streak to five games.

Bayern took the lead within 15 minutes when Thomas Muller found Kim Min Jae after a corner, and he was able to find the roof of the net from close range.

The visitors were not ahead for long as the Bundesliga’s top scorer Marmoush claimed his eighth goal of the season when Ansgar Knauff’s through ball set the Egyptian on the break, and he put his side back on level terms within 23 minutes.

Despite Bayern dominating the game, it was Frankfurt who took a surprise lead after 35 minutes when Marmoush set up Hugo Ekitike on the break.

Bayern were level just minutes later as Dayot Upamecano netted his first goal of the season after a goalmouth scramble, before Michael Olise notched his sixth of the season in the second half to help Bayern retake the lead.

Vincent Kompany’s side thought they had won it and went into stoppage time looking to run down the clock. Despite that, substitute Eric-Junior Dina-Ebimbe headed the ball onto Marmoush, who scored his ninth of the season.

Bayern face Stuttgart after the international break before their UEFA Champions League match against Barcelona. Frankfurt face Bayer Leverkusen before their UEFA Europa League fixture against Latvian side FK RFS.

It only takes one look at the statistics of this game to question what went wrong for Vincent Kompany’s side but maybe the question should be about the never-say-die attitude of the home team.

Bayern wasted no time showing their dominance in the early stages but Frankfurt had a gameplan and they knew they only needed one opportunity on the ball to threaten Bayern, and that’s what they did. Time and time again.

Bayern were unable to deal with the pace and enthusiasm of Marmoush and Ekitike when they got forward and it was no surprise when they knew how clinical they were – four shots on target (six overall) for Frankfurt equalled three goals, compared to Bayern’s 13 shots on target, 24 overall.

It could easily be Marmoush after another fine display but the performance in goal of the 21-year-old Brazilian kept Frankfurt in the game and he is proving a point for staying in the starting line-up despite Kevin Trapp’s impending return.

Will Dino Toppmoller opt for the experienced Trapp now he looks to be returning after the international break or has Kaua Santos earned his place?

GOAL! FRANKFURT 1 – 1 BAYERN MUNICH (MARMOUSH 23′) They only needed one chance and they’re back on level terms.

GOAL! FRANKFURT 2 – 1 BAYERN MUNICH (EKITIKE 35′) It’s Omar Marmoush on the charge and Dayot Upamecano is unable to stop him. He squares it to Hugo Ekitike and it’s 2-1 for the visitors! Two shots, two goals – efficiency.

85′ HOW DID HE MISS?! Was that the moment? The offside flag stays down as Rasmus Kristensen runs down the flank and crosses it to Junior Dina Ebimbe. Ebimbe is outstretched and manages to get a touch but it’s rolls past him.

GOAL! FRANKFURT 3 – 3 BAYERN MUNICH (MARMOUSH 90+4′) THEY’VE FOUND IT! Frankfurt goes on a counter attack in the dying moments as Ebimbe heads the ball onto Omar Marmoush and the home fans go mad as Marmoush slots the ball past Manuel Neuer.

Harry Kane has gone three games without a goal for only the second time in his Bayern career.
