Bayern Munich began the match with strong momentum, creating several opportunities, but both Michael Olise and Serge Gnabry failed to find the net against Frankfurt goalkeeper Kaua Santos. Their persistence paid off in the 15th minute when Kim Min-jae tapped in a square pass from Thomas Muller, breaking the deadlock following a corner.
Augsburg displayed early courage against the German record champions, believing they had scored in the 12th minute. However, Elvis Rexhbecaj's goal was disallowed for offside, according to Xinhua.
The buildup was overshadowed by Serge Gnabry testing positive for the coronavirus on Tuesday after he had taken part in the team's final training session for the game.
