Bayern Munich – Frankfurt 1-1, 18th round of the Bundesliga

Julian Nagelsmann’s side failed to taste victory in 2023, finishing with a third straight draw in the Bundesliga since the restart.

In the 34th minute, Leroy Sane opened the scoring from Thomas Müller’s pass. Frankfurt equalized in the 69th minute through Kolo Mouani who beat Sommer, a goalkeeper replaced by Manuel Neuer who had missed every game since arriving in Munich.

The gap between Bayern Munich and the chasers has narrowed, with Union Berlin just one point behind the Bavarians and RB Leipzig two points behind.
