Marmoush does it again as he strikes late for Frankfurt to hold Bayern 3-3 in Bundesliga thriller

BERLIN — Omar Marmoush struck late with his second goal as Eintracht Frankfurt held Bayern Munich 3-3 in an enthralling Bundesliga encounter on Sunday.

Éric Junior Dina Ebimbe headed the ball into Marmoush’s path and the Egypt forward raced clear of three Bayern defenders before firing past Manuel Neuer in the fourth minute of injury time.

There was still time for Bayern’s Thomas Müller to strike the post in response before Frankfurt ‘keeper Kauã Santos finally secured the ball to set off an outpouring of joy in Frankfurt’s Waldstadion. The Frankfurt players were accompanied by the team's live eagle mascot as they celebrated in front of their fans.

Bayern had dominated from the start with Frankfurt seemingly unable to get hold of the ball. Michael Olise missed a good chance early on, Santos saved from Müller, then produced a flying save to deny Olise.

Kim Min-jae scored in the 15th after the resulting corner. It was due reward for a team with 84% ball possession.

But Ansgar Knauff played the ball through Aleksandar Pavlović’s legs for Marmoush, who outpaced Raphaël Guerreiro and beat Neuer with a low shot in the 22nd.

It ensured Marmoush scored for the fifth straight game. Frankfurt had won on each of the previous four occasions.

Bayern had other ideas, however. Santos denied Müller the next big chance.

Then Marmoush ran clear of Dayot Upamecano on a counterattack and crossed for Hugo Ekitiké to score Frankfurt’s second goal in the 35th.

The home fans were still celebrating when Upamecano equalized three minutes later after a goalmouth scramble. Again, it came after a corner.

Bayern resumed where it left off at the break, and Olise curled in the visitors’ third goal from the edge of the penalty area in the 53rd. But Marmoush wasn’t done yet.

Loïs Openda’s second-half strike was enough for Leipzig to win in Heidenheim 1-0.

Stuttgart hosted Hoffenheim later.
