Omar Marmoush’s Late Goal Secures Dramatic Draw for Eintracht Frankfurt Against Bayern Munich

In a thrilling Bundesliga encounter, Eintracht Frankfurt‘s Omar Marmoush scored a dramatic equalizer in the final moments of stoppage time, securing a 3-3 draw against Bayern Munich at Deutsche Bank Park on October 6, 2024. The result extends Frankfurt’s unbeaten streak in the Bundesliga to five games.

Bayern Munich, led by manager Vincent Kompany, took an early lead in the 15th minute when Thomas Muller set up Kim Min Jae, who found the back of the net from a corner. However, Frankfurt quickly leveled the score in the 23rd minute with Marmoush netting his eighth goal of the season following a precise through ball from Ansgar Knauff.

Despite Bayern’s dominance in possession, it was Frankfurt who shocked the visitors by taking the lead after 35 minutes. Marmoush turned provider, assisting Hugo Ekitike, who scored from a swift counter-attack. Bayern responded just minutes later through Dayot Upamecano, who scored his first goal of the season after a chaotic goalmouth scramble.

The second half saw Bayern regain the lead in the 53rd minute when Michael Olise scored his sixth goal of the season, taking advantage of a failed Frankfurt clearance. Kompany’s team seemed set for victory but failed to hold on against Frankfurt’s relentless pressure.

In the dying moments of the game, substitute Eric-Junior Dina-Ebimbe assisted Marmoush to score a sensational goal, marking his ninth of the season. “We showed a fighting spirit,” Marmoush said after the match. “It was important to get a result against a team like Bayern.”

Bayern Munich will face Stuttgart post the international break, followed by a UEFA Champions League match against Barcelona. Meanwhile, Eintracht Frankfurt will go up against Bayer Leverkusen before their Europa League encounter against FK RFS of Latvia.

The match stats reflected Bayern’s inability to convert their dominance into goals, with 13 shots on target among 24 attempts, while Frankfurt converted three of their four shots on target. Questions linger about Kompany’s defensive setup and the performance of key players, including Harry Kane, who has now gone three games without scoring for Bayern.
