Croatia striker Mario Mandzukic
helped Bayern Munich continue their perfect start to the season with the
only goal in a 1-0 win at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Mandzukic struck after 13 minutes as Bayern made it two wins from two matches under new boss Pep Guardiola.
Striker Mario Gotze, Bayern’s £31.5m summer signing from Borussia Dortmund, was an unused substitute as he waits for his debut.
Victory in Frankfurt saw Bayern’s current crop equal a club record of 27 Bundesliga matches without defeat.
Alexander Meier had a goal ruled out for the home side.
Guardiola took over from Jupp Heynckes, who won the treble of the Champions League, German Cup and Bundesliga in 2012/13.
Mandzukic’s goal was the least Bayern deserved by half-time as he acrobatically volleyed home from Thomas Muller’s cross.
But Frankfurt, who lost 6-1 at
newly-promoted Hertha Berlin in their opener, improved after the break
and spurned a late chance to equalise.
