Hello, and welcome to our live coverage of the DFL-Supercup clash between Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayern Munich!
Munich have had the better of today's opponents of late, only losing to Frankfurt once in their last five matches! It is worth noting, however, that that one loss was the cup final that led to the latter playing in this match!
Let's start things off now by looking at these sides' starting line ups!
Frankfurt (3-4-3): Frederik Ronnow; David Abraham, Makoto Hasebe, Carlos Salcedo; Danny da Costa, Lucas Torro, Jonathan de Guzman, Jetro Willems; Mijat Gacinovic, Marco Fabian; Sebastian Haller.
Munich (4-1-4-1): Manuel Neuer; Joshua Kimmich, Niklas Sule, Mats Hummels, David Alaba; Javi Martinez; Arjen Robben, Thomas Muller, Thiago Alcantara, Franck Ribery; Robert Lewandowski.
Frankfurt have given Ante Rebic a spot on the bench today as he reintegrates back into the side after Croatia's World Cup final appearance. He did lead the club in shots on target last season, so most of the scoring responsibilty today will likely fall at the feet of Haller.
Munich, on the other hand, aren't really missing anyone as they roll out what appears to be their best available XI!
All in all, we should be in for an exciting match today as these two sides have combined for an average 3.4 goals per match over their last five meetings!
Obviously, it will be very interesting to see Niko Kovac on the touchline for Bayern Munich as the last time he managed a side it was for Frankfurt, against Munich, in the aforementioned DFB-Pokal final!
The teams, and trophy, are out on the pitch! Not long to go now!
HALF TIME: Eintracht Frankfurt 0-2 Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich will be pleased having dominated this match in both possession (75%) and the scoreline (2-0). Despite rumours about Lewandwoski wanting out of the club, he has been as lethal as possible today with his two goals coming from two total shots. The defence has looked a little shaky at times, but have not yet broken.
Frankfurt need to hold onto the ball, and then pass it better if they want to get back into this match. They currently have 66.1% pass completion which is bad, but unsurprising as they finished bottom five in that statistic in the Bundelsiga last season as well. Haller still represents their best option to put the ball past Neuer but will need to be more involved in the second half to do so.
Will Frankfurt find their way back into this match or will ex-manager Kovac lift his first trophy as Munich's manager? We'll soon find out!
FULL TIME: Eintracht Frankfurt 0 - 5 Bayern Munich
Kovac will surely be pleased to have beaten his former employers, picking up his first piece of silverware at Munich in the process. It was a truly dominant performance from start to end and you'd imagine they will win the Bundesliga at a canter once again.
Frankfurt had a few decent moves but never seemed a legitimate threat during this match. Haller seemed isolated from the rest of play and the passing, as it did last season, really let them down. It seems like there's a good team in there somewhere, but it certainly was not on display today.
That will do it for our live coverage of Eintracht Frankfurt v Bayern Munich! We hope you enjoyed it and will join us again soon!
