Bayern lose the Cup with Eintracht

Jupp Heynckes will not forget Ante Rebic. The Croatian striker of the Eintracht was the nightmare in the night that aimed to be the perfect farewell to the legendary Bayern coach. But no. Rebic appeared in the final of the German Pokal and the festival endured the Munich with a double that led to the set of Niko Kovac, successor of Don Jupp in the Bavarian bench, to defeat Bayern 3-1. A double for Hessian history. A double to defeat the almighty Bayern. A double for the fifth Cup in the showcases of Eintracht.

He saw himself coming. He jumped out of the Frankfurt on the turf of the Berlin Olympiad. Pulling character and delivery, the eighth-placed Budesliga managed to get the ball in the early stages of play and put Heynckes in his area. Even so, the first was held by the people of Munich. Lewy sent a direct free to the crossbar, but then Rebic silenced the red and white fans for the first time. He stole the wallet from James and did not forgive after receiving a pass from Boateng, beating Ulreich with a shot tight to the post. It was the deserved reward for those of Kovac, who did not lose order and firmness throughout the first half.

The champion had to climb a march and that's how it was. Thiago entered the scene, moved the strings in the creation area and Bayern began to feel at ease. Müller, Kimmich and Javi Martínez were able to put the tables, but Hradecky was fine. Against Lewandowski's first shot he could not do anything. The Pole plugged a Kimmich center that raised the tie to the bright Berlin. From there, everything was Bayern. Everything except a counterattack by Frankfurt in the 82nd minute. Rebic, again Rebic, was faster than everyone and beat Ulreich. It did not end there. The referee went to the VAR for a possible penalty at the last minute and ended up signaling a corner. Ulreich climbed, but Gacinovic took the leather and signed the win at the empty door.
