Díaz Double Seals Bayern’s Unblemished Bundesliga Record Against Frankfurt

In a display of clinical efficiency that has become Bayern Munich`s signature, the Bavarian giants carved out a commanding 3-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt. The match, far from being a mere fixture, served as another emphatic declaration of intent from Vincent Kompany`s side, extending their perfect Bundesliga start to six wins from six and rewriting several record books along the way.

The Bavarian Blitz: An Unstoppable Opening

The encounter at Deutsche Bank Park began with all the subtlety of a freight train. Within a staggering 15 seconds, Luis Díaz, proving that he brought his boots – and his scoring touch – straight from the changing room, put Bayern ahead. A long ball from Manuel Neuer, a flick-on from the ever-present Harry Kane, and a precise low cross from Serge Gnabry found Díaz, who wasted no time in slotting it home. It was one of the fastest goals in Bundesliga history, a true testament to Bayern`s notorious ability to seize control from the very first whistle. Frankfurt, hoping to challenge one of the league`s most prolific attacks, found themselves chasing shadows almost immediately.

Eintracht thought they had found an equalizer in the 14th minute through Jean-Mattéo Bahoya`s curling effort. However, the omnipresent eye of VAR intervened, disallowing the goal for a handball in the build-up. A brief flicker of hope extinguished, reminding everyone that in modern football, even moments of joy are subject to rigorous digital scrutiny.

Bayern, seemingly unaffected by the VAR drama, doubled their lead in the 27th minute. Who else but Harry Kane? The English talisman, collecting a pass from Díaz, unleashed a superb low drive from 21 meters, finding the bottom corner with unerring precision. This wasn`t just another goal; it was Kane`s 11th of the campaign, establishing a new Bundesliga record for goals after just six matchdays. One might wonder if he’s even trying at this point, or if these records simply fall into his lap.

Clinical Control and Record-Breaking Achievements

The second half saw Bayern continue their controlled dominance. While Kane rattled the post from close range after a corner in the 55th minute, Frankfurt struggled to create any meaningful chances against a disciplined Bayern defense. Ritsu Dōan`s shot drifting wide in the 70th minute was perhaps their best, a statistic that speaks volumes about Bayern`s defensive solidity.

Any lingering notions of a Frankfurt comeback were decisively quashed in the 84th minute. Luis Díaz, clearly enjoying his day out, struck again. Taking a well-weighted pass from Raphaël Guerreiro, he fired a powerful shot past Kauã Santos, sealing his brace and Bayern`s comfortable 3-0 victory.

This win wasn`t merely three points; it was a collection of milestones. Bayern Munich has now secured six wins from six league matches, extending their historic start to the season. Their 25 goals scored across these matches also sets a new Bundesliga record for this stage of the competition. Furthermore, Manuel Neuer`s clean sheet marked his 362nd Bundesliga victory, equalling Thomas Müller`s all-time record. It seems “record-breaking” is merely a routine entry on Bayern`s weekly to-do list.

Player of the Match: Luis Díaz

While many contributed to Bayern`s flawless performance, the spotlight undoubtedly belonged to Luis Díaz. The Colombian winger delivered a stellar performance that transcended mere numbers. Beyond his two clinical goals – including that almost impossibly fast opener – and his assist for Kane, Díaz was a constant menace.

• Pace: Reaching a blistering 32.22 km/h, he consistently troubled the Frankfurt defense.
• Dribbling: His ability to navigate tight spaces and bypass defenders added another dimension to Bayern`s attack.
• Impact: Díaz not only set the tone for the match but effectively put the result beyond doubt with his late strike.

His all-round display earned him an impressive 413 fantasy points, the highest of any player on the pitch, solidifying his status as the undeniable standout performer in Bayern`s commanding victory.
