    Manuel Neuer

    A very straightforward game for the Germany international, who was barely tested in any serious fashion.

  • Dante

    2.50

    Dante

    Didn't put a foot wrong in defence, and his passing out of the back was key to Bayern's threat going forward on the break.

  • Jerome Boateng

    2.50

    Jerome Boateng

    Was solid in the middle until a groin injury forced him off in the first half.

  • Philipp Lahm
    10

    2.50

    Philipp Lahm

    Did not get forward as much as he may have liked, but was a consistent presence in defence and coped well with the tricky Inui.

  • Franck Ribéry

    Franck Ribéry Top of the Match

    A constant danger to the Frankfurt defence, as he showed the form everyone knows he is capable of. Finished the first goal with class.

  • Javi Martínez
    14

    2.50

    Javi Martínez

    Still showing that he has not completely adapted to life in Germany, but a well-placed cross set Ribery up perfectly for the opener.

  • Arjen  Robben
    13

    2.50

    Arjen Robben

    The final product was at times lacking, but the winger never stopped running and gave Frankfurt serious headaches both from open play and set-pieces.

  • D. Alaba
    16
    1
    3.00

    D. Alaba

    Impressive stuff from the full-back, who was never afraid to cross the halfway line and pressure his opposite number. Expertly executed his chance from the spot.

  • Bastian Schweinsteiger
    12
    1
    3.00

    Bastian Schweinsteiger

    A slow start from the midfielder, but he gradually came to control the game's tempo and won the penalty which sewed up three points.

  • Toni Kroos
    13
    1
    3.00

    Toni Kroos

    Had a couple of decent chances and his movement and link play with Ribery gave Frankfurt a lot of trouble.

  • Claudio Pizarro
    11
    1
    2.00

    Claudio Pizarro

    The hat-trick hero against Lille could not follow up Wednesday's heroics, and put in a rather muted display before coming off for Muller.

Substitutions

  • Daniel Van Buyten

    3.00

    Daniel Van Buyten

    Very impressive stuff from the Belgian, who made his first appearance of the season when Boateng came off. A rock in defence, and unlucky to see a towering header chalked off for offside.

  • Anatoliy Tymoshchuk
    11

    2.50

    Anatoliy Tymoshchuk

    Made a brief appearance towards the end of the game.

  • Thomas Müller
    13

    2.50

    Thomas Müller

    Entered for Pizarro, and gave a new dimension to the attack with his incursions from deep and talent on the ball.

  • Kevin Trapp
    7
    1
    3.50

    Kevin Trapp

    Could not be blamed for either goal, and made a handful of excellent stops to keep the margin respectable.

  • Vadim Demidov
    2

    1.50

    Vadim Demidov Flop of the Match

    A game to forget for the defender, who was caught out on several occasions and conceded the penalty with a clumsy challenge.

  • Bastian Oczipka
    1
    2
    2.50

    Bastian Oczipka

    Tried hard to keep the defence in order, but struggled against the dynamic movement of Ribery and Kroos.

  • Anderson

    1
    2.50

    Anderson

    One of the best in Frankfurt's backline, making several decent interventions.

  • Sebastian Jung

    2.50

    Sebastian Jung

    Never stopped running, and tried hard to keep the Frankfurt defence in one piece.

  • Takashi Inui

    2.00

    Takashi Inui

    Delighted the visitors with a couple of electric moments of skill, but was disappointing over the 90 minutes.

  • Alexander Meier

    0
    2.00

    Alexander Meier

    Tried to use his height and physique to positive effect in Bayern's area, but saw little of the ball to make the difference.

  • Stefan Aigner

    2.00

    Stefan Aigner

    Very lucky not to see red in the opening minutes of the match, after a brutal challenge.

  • Sebastian  Rode
    2
    2
    2.50

    Sebastian Rode

    An occasional threat out wide, but too profligate with the ball and barely created a single chance for his side.

  • Pirmin Schwegler
    2
    1
    2.50

    Pirmin Schwegler

    Overrun in midfield by the duo of Schweinsteiger and Martinez, but passed efficiently and tried to press high up the field.

  • Karim Matmour
    2
    1
    2.50

    Karim Matmour

    Forced a rare save from Neuer with his stinging long-range effort. Had few opportunities to impose himself inside the box.

Substitutions

  • Martin Lanig

    Martin Lanig

    Played the last five minutes with the game already slipping from the away side's grasp.

    Olivier Occean

    Came on as another attacking option, but was ineffective in the final third.
