Bayern Munich 1-2 Eintracht Frankfurt
Bayern Munich's unbeaten start to the season came to an end after a late 2-1 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt at Allianz Arena.
Leon Goretzka broke the deadlock for Bayern on the half-hour mark but the lead did not last, as Martin Hinteregger levelled matters for Eintracht three minutes later and Filip Kostic snatched the winner for the visitors seven minutes before time.

Schick doubled the lead for Bayer in the 24th minute, got the third goal and his second just before the hour-mark and Kerem Demirbay rounded off the thrashing in stoppage time.
