Bundesliga - Eintracht Frankfurt 1-6 Bayern Munich as it happened - Mane scores on league debut and Musiala bags brace

Although clearly offside, Mane fails to control Muller's through ball. Had he timed his run better, he would have been clean through on goal.

After losing the ball in a threatening position, Knauff catches Hernandez with a late lunge. Somehow, he avoids a yellow card from the referee, who has yet to go to his pocket this evening.

Bayern are rapid in transition and a dangerous pass from Mane sparks another dangerous attack, only this time the visitors have to settle for a corner.

Tutu almost loses his footing as Musiala beats him to Mane's through ball. From the angle, he hammers a shot into the side-netting and this time Frankfurt's sloppy defending goes unpunished.

Frankfurt have qualified for the Champions League after beating Rangers in the Europa League final - but if they defend like this they could be in a world of trouble in Europe's elite competition.

Oh, the hosts are agonisingly close to halving the deficit immediately! Gotze's corner delivery is met by Tuta, who rises highest and guides his header against the woodwork!

Robert who? Bayern are two goals to the good inside 10 minutes!

Frankfurt's defending is all over the place as they struggle to clear Kimmich's corner. It bobbles around and after Muller sees his shot blocked, Pavard leathers an arrow into the far corner; a striker's finish!

Frankfurt are caught sleeping down the right as a quick-free releases Pavard and he forces another corner.

Bayern are relentless in their search for goals. They build another attack, it falls to Gnabry on the edge of the box but N'Dicka makes the block.

Trapp won't be pleased to have been beaten from there, but it was an extremely clever and well-taken free-kick from Kimmich. The goalkeeper's position is all wrong and ultimately he's given himself too much to do to stretch far enough to keep the shot out.

That didn't take long! Bayern are ahead in the fifth minute - and what a memorable goal it is too!

Kimmich tries an ambitious shot from a free-kick, bending a low shot past the one-man wall and beating the unsuspecting goalkeeper Trapp as the ball sneaks in at his near post.

That would have been some start for Sadio Mane! It's the former Liverpool forward who meets Kimmich's corner but he can't keep his stooped header down.

The first corner of the season is won by Muller as his cross is deflected behind by N'Dicka. The Bayern forward will have to wait for the smoke to clear before he can take the set-piece.

A fantastic atmosphere as Bayern get the 2022/23 Bundesliga season underway!

A minute's tribute is paid to Hans Weilbacher.

Frankfurt boss Oliver Glasner has a big challenge on his hands tonight but was in a positive mood ahead of the game.

He said: "We've looked at Bayern in great detail. They've got a lot of variety in attack and are really good at getting behind opposition defences.

"It'll be a really tricky game for us. We want to showcase our football in our very first game, play with high intensity and give Bayern a proper fight.

"To be playing in the opening game is a kind of reward for our performance last season. We want to live up to that.

"We won't be raising the white flag on Friday, but will do all we can to start the season with a win."

"It's not easy to play in Frankfurt," Julian Nagelsmann, the Bayern coach, said at his pre-match press conference.

"I don't know 100 percent what their squad will look like. Frankfurt are a strong team with a passionate fan base.

"It's the season opener, on a Friday night - it will be a good game."
