Bayern Munich 3-2 Eintracht Frankfurt Player Ratings: Harry Kane Brace Secures 3-2 Win at Allianz Arena

League leaders Bayern Munich survived a late scare to edge past Eintracht Frankfurt 3-2 in a pulsating Bundesliga clash at the Allianz Arena. What initially looked like a controlled Bayern Munich performance quickly turned chaotic in the final 15 minutes as Frankfurt’s second-half resurgence nearly punished the hosts’ defensive complacency.

Goals from Aleksandar Pavlovic (16’) and a clinical brace from Harry Kane (20’, 68’) appeared to have settled proceedings, especially with Bayern generating 2.50 xG from 23 shots and marginally controlling possession (52%). However, Albert Riera’s tactical adjustments injected urgency into Frankfurt’s press, and late strikes from Jonathan Burkardt (77') and Arnaud Kalimuendo-Muinga (86’) turned a comfortable evening into a nervy finish.

Despite allowing 2.29 xG and showing vulnerability during transitional phases mixed by Alphonso Davies’ injury setback early in the second half, Bayern did enough to secure three crucial points. The win keeps them top of the Bundesliga table with 60 points, while Eintracht Frankfurt remains seventh with 31 points, left to rue what might have been after their spirited late push set the stage for detailed Bayern vs Frankfurt player ratings below.

FC Bayern Munich Player Ratings vs Eintracht Frankfurt

Here are the Bayern Munich player ratings against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Goalkeeper

Jonas Urbig - 7.0: Honestly, he had one of the quietest afternoons of his career. Frankfurt barely tested him at all. He made the one save required of him with confidence, and his distribution was perfect. A spectator for large parts of the game, which is a testament to his team's dominance.

Defenders

Dayot Upamecano - 7.0: A really calm and composed performance at the back. He looked untroubled throughout. We noticed his excellent passing from the back, starting many of Bayern's attacks. Won his duels and recovered the ball efficiently whenever Frankfurt ventured forward.

Min-jae Kim - 7.0: Rock solid alongside Upamecano. He read the game beautifully, making two key interceptions and two successful tackles. It felt like nothing was getting past him. He was a commanding presence that gave the opposition forwards no room to breathe.

Alphonso Davies - 6.5: A slightly mixed performance from our perspective. He was a willing runner down the left flank as always, but his final ball wasn't always there. He did lose possession a few times, but his recovery pace often bailed him out. A decent but not spectacular outing.

Josip Stanisic - 8.0: What a fantastic display. He was a constant threat on the right, capped off by a clever headed assist for Kane's goal. He even had a shot on target himself and was solid defensively. He really stepped up and showed his quality, contributing massively at both ends of the pitch.

Midfielders

Joshua Kimmich - 7.0: The captain ran the show from the middle of the park. His control and range of passing were instrumental in Bayern's dominance. He dictated the tempo of the game effortlessly. While he didn't grab a goal or assist, his influence was undeniable.

Jamal Musiala - 6.5: A bit of a frustrating game for the youngster, surprisingly. He showed flashes of his brilliance but was often crowded out by the Frankfurt defense. We could see his effort to create, but things just didn't quite click for him in the final third. Not his most influential performance.

Luis Díaz - 7.5: He was a livewire and a creative hub for Bayern. He created several chances, including setting up Kane for a good opportunity. His movement and vision were a nightmare for the Frankfurt defenders. A very impressive and energetic performance.

Michael Olise - 7.5: This guy is electric on the ball. He completed four successful dribbles and was a constant menace on the wing. He had so many touches and was always looking to make something happen. The only thing missing was the final product, but he was a joy to watch.

Aleksandar Pavlovic - 8.0: Scored a brilliant opening goal that set the tone for the entire match. Beyond the goal, he was composed and controlled in midfield. He worked tirelessly, recovering the ball and keeping possession ticking over. A truly mature performance from the midfielder.

Forwards

Harry Kane - 8.5: Our man of the match. He was a constant threat, and his goal was a typical poacher's finish. He could have had a hat-trick, forcing some good saves from the keeper. His work rate and link-up play were also top-notch. A complete striker's performance.

Manager

V. Kompany - 8.0: He got his tactics spot on. His team was set up to press high and dominate possession from the start. The game plan worked to perfection, overwhelming Frankfurt in the opening half-hour to secure the win. A masterful tactical display.

Goalkeeper

Kauã Santos - 6.0: It's tough to rate a keeper who conceded two, but it could have been much worse without him. He made three saves, a couple of which were quite impressive to deny Kane. However, his distribution was really poor, putting his team under unnecessary pressure. He looked shaky with the ball at his feet.

Defenders

Aurèle Amenda - 5.5: A difficult day at the office for the young defender. He struggled to cope with the movement and pace of Bayern's attackers. He was part of a backline that was completely overwhelmed. A learning experience for him, to be sure.

Ellyes Skhiri - 6.0: Played in a defensive role, and while his 100% pass accuracy is commendable, he was fighting a losing battle. He made a few important clearances but was ultimately unable to stem the tide of Bayern's attacks. He looked a bit lost at times, which is understandable given the pressure.

Nnamdi Collins - 6.0: A very mixed game. On one hand, he won most of his duels and made three tackles, showing real fight. On the other hand, he committed a foul early on and looked vulnerable. There were moments of strength but also moments of panic.

Midfielders

Oscar Højlund - 5.5: He was largely anonymous in midfield. His high pass accuracy is misleading as most were simple backward passes. We expected him to be more involved, but he failed to make any impact on the game and was easily bypassed.

Hugo Larsson - 6.0: He certainly put in a shift. We saw him making tackles and blocking shots, trying to protect his defense. Despite his hard work, he was simply overrun by the quality of Bayern's midfield. You can't fault his effort, but it wasn't enough.

Nathaniel Brown - 6.0: The captain couldn't inspire a turnaround. He was neat on the ball but offered very little penetration. From our perspective, he played it too safe when his team needed someone to drive them forward. A quiet and ineffective performance.

Ayoube Amaimouni-Echghouyab - 5.5: Barely in the game at all. With just 11 touches, he was a passenger for much of the first half. He was dribbled past easily and offered nothing going forward or defensively. A performance to forget.

Forwards

Mahmoud Dahoud - 5.0: Disappointing. He was brought in to provide some creativity and control, but he did neither. He was dispossessed, lost the ball five times, and was completely invisible from an attacking standpoint. A really poor showing.

Jean-Mattéo Bahoya - 6.5: One of the only players who can hold their head up. He was a bright spark, trying to take players on and create something out of nothing. He registered his team's only shot on target. He showed courage and a bit of quality in a well-beaten team.

Ritsu Doan - 5.0: He was one of the worst performers on the pitch. His pass accuracy was terrible, and he lost possession seven times. He offered no threat and seemed off the pace. A really frustrating performance to watch.

Manager

A. Riera Ortega - 5.0: His game plan simply did not work. His side was set up defensively but was breached with ease on two separate occasions from set-pieces. They offered nothing going forward and looked completely outclassed. He will have to go back to the drawing board after this one.

Man of the Match

Harry Kane was the man of the match.

Worst Performer

Ritsu Doan was arguably the worst performer in the Bayern Munich vs Eintracht Frankfurt match.
