  • 96'
    And that's it! Massive late drama, as Bayern are denied a penalty, and Frankfurt crush them on the counter. Gacinovic's goal turned out to be the last kick of the game, meaning Frankfurt are the winners of the DFB Pokal!
  • 96'
    INCREDIBLE! FRANKFURT MAKE IT 1-3! Where to start? Bayern wanted a penalty after what did look like a foul in the box, but the ref called a corner, which Ulreich came up for once again. This time, Frankfurt cleared with ease, and Mijat Gacinovic charged upfield to chase onto the cleared ball. With nobody in net it was a foot race, and the Frankfurt man won, slotting it into the empty net to seal the win.
  • 93'
    There is a penalty shout and the referee has taken it to VAR!
  • 92'
    Late corner, and Ulreich is up!
  • 90'
    Bayern are ramping up the pressure in the hunt for an equaliser. They have just minutes to do so, and are committing everyone forward. Kimmich rises to head from a corner, but he puts it over the bar.
  • 88'
    One last sub. Twice goalscorer Rebic is replaced by Haller.

  • 82'
    GOAL! REBIC! Or is it? Rebic scores but it's gone to VAR. The referee consults the replay and gives the goal! Rebic chased down a long ball, and used his strength once again to shake off the two centre-backs, before dinking a wonderful finish over Ulreich. The Bayern players claimed that the ball came off his hand when he controlled it, but the replays show it came off his head.
  • 80'
    A header from Hummels comes back off the bar, and the ball is lumped upfield for Rebic to chase. The Frankfurt forward does well, and fires a low effort from outside the box, which goes just wide of the post.
  • 76'
    CLOSE! Rodriguez puts a great ball across goal, and Lewandowski gets contact, but it's just wide of the post.
  • 73'
    Second change for Frankfurt. Marco Russ replaces De Guzman.
  • 72'
    Lewandowski takes it, but puts it over the bar.
  • 71'

    GOAL! LEWA!1-1! Kimmich receives the ball down the right from Sule, and he squares it into the box. Running on is Lewandowski, and the Polish striker stretches to poke it into the bottom right corner. Game on!
  • 47'
    Ulreich makes the first save of the half, holding onto a header from Boateng.
  • 46'
    After waiting a few minutes for flares to die out in the Bayern end, we are underway again in a smokey Olympiastadion.
  • 45'
    HT: Bayern 0 - 1 Frankfurt - Nico Kovac is showing Bayern fans what they can expect next season, as a solid tactical set-up has seen his side nick the lead in the first half. An early goal from Rebic made it 0-1, and the underdogs have held onto their lead for the rest of the first half.

    Wolf heads just past the post for Frankfurt.
  • 42'
    Frankfurt look like they're going to be able to withstand the pressure and retain their one goal lead into half-time. A big couple of minutes remain in the firs period.
  • 37'
    Frankfurt come very close to making it two, as De Guzman is just evaded by a ball into the box by Rebic. If he had been one yard in front he would almost certainly have buried that.

  • 37'
    Robert Lewandowski receives a yellow card for a bodycheck on Hasebe. He is not happy about it, unsurprisingly.
  • 35'
    Lewandowski hits a free-kick just wide from 35 yards out. Decent effort from the forward.
  • 33'
    Good hands from Hradecky to hold onto a shot from Thomas Muller. The Bayern forward drove it into the ground from inside the box, but the keeper read it well.
  • 31'
    Thiago has a go from range, but it's high and wide, as long-range efforts almost always are.
  • 30'
    Bayern win a free-kick in their own half, and James delivers, but it's sliced away by Frankfurt.
  • 25'
    CHANCE! Robert Lewandowski nearly equalises, breaking down the left and finding his way into the box. The Pole dinks a finish back across the face of goal, but it's wide of the far post.
  • 22'
    Frankfurt are struggling for possession, but they've had a fair few dangerous counter-attacks since scoring. Bayern can't afford to be complacent.
  • 17'
    CLOSE! Thomas Muller heads just wide from a free-kick, missing a golden chance to equalise. The replays show that it actually came off his shoulder in the end.

    GOAL! FRANKFURT LEAD THROUGH REBIC! An error from James is capitalised upon by Kevin-Prince Boateng, who wins the ball in the middle of Bayern's half. He slots a lovely ball through for Ante Rebic, who picks out an accurate finish into the bottom-left corner! 0-1!

    The German anthem draws to an end and we are ready to start.
  • PRVW
    And the players are out on the pitch at the Olympiastadion. Dramatic music plays. The big golden cup glistens in the sunlight. Who doesn't love a cup final? KO not far off.
  • PRVW
    The cup is now being held aloft, as a giant flag-version is displayed in the centre of the pitch, alongside crests of both sides.
  • PRVW
    There are some joggers shuttling flags with the crests of both sides around the pitch in formation. Very athletic.
  • PRVW
    Today is the last game in charge of their respective clubs for both of the managers on the touchline at the Olympiastadion. For Heynckes, however, it's likely his last ever game in management.
  • PRVW
    The main news from the Bayern line-up is that Thomas Muller and David Alaba start. The pair had been doubts prior to the game, but have both reached match fitness in time to play. Manuel Neuer returns to the squad, but he's on the bench. No surprises in the Frankfurt lineup, given that they had a full squad in the lead-up to the final.
  • PRVW
    And Frankfurt's XI: Hradecky, Da Costa, Salcedo, Abraham, Willems, Rebic, De Guzman, Hasebe, Mascarell, Wolf, Boateng.
  • PRVW
    Here's how Bayern line up today: Ulreich, Kimmich, Sule, Hummels, Alaba, Thiago, Martinez, James, Muller, Lewandowski, Ribery.
