Marmoush’s Late Heroics Deny Bayern Victory in Thrilling Standoff

Eintracht Frankfurt’s top Bundesliga scorer, Omar Marmoush, scored twice to secure a dramatic 3-3 draw against league leaders Bayern Munich on Sunday. Marmoush first equalized in the first half with a swift response, and then netted a crucial stoppage-time goal that salvaged a point for Frankfurt, extending Bayern’s winless streak to three matches across all competitions.

Following this match, Bayern Munich holds 14 points, retaining the top position on goal difference over RB Leipzig, who secured a 1-0 victory against Heidenheim earlier in the day. Eintracht Frankfurt sits third with 13 points.

Bayern Munich’s coach, Vincent Kompany, will be relieved to maintain his team’s lead heading into the international break but must address the defensive lapses that allowed Frankfurt to equalize three times. The last goal was particularly critical, as it was produced during what was otherwise a relatively quiet second half for Eintracht.

The match began with Bayern eager to recover from their recent Champions League and Bundesliga setbacks. They took an early lead when Kim Min-jae scored after 15 minutes, but the advantage was quickly threatened when Marmoush leveled the score with a precise shot just seven minutes later.

Marmoush, who has scored eight goals in six league matches, assisted Hugo Ekitike for Eintracht’s second goal in the 35th minute during another quick counter-attack. Bayern responded strongly, with Dayot Upamecano firing in the equalizer shortly after, and then Michael Olise putting Bayern back ahead in the 53rd minute with a remarkable left-footed strike.

As the match neared its conclusion, Bayern had chances to extend their lead but failed to capitalize, and Marmoush struck again in stoppage time, outmaneuvering the Bavarian defense to find the back of the net. In a tense final moment, Bayern’s Thomas Mueller hit the post, ensuring the match ended in a draw.
