    Right, looks like the people have spoken in my vote at five minutes - a beer it is. Thanks everyone.

    Bayern Munich 1-0 Eintracht Frankfurt

    No immediate response from Eintracht Frankfurt. Last night's tie was basically done after 19 minutes - hoping we don't see the same here.

    GOAL - Bayern Munich 1-0 Eintracht Frankfurtpublished at 14 mins

    Ivan Perisic

    Bayern Munich take the lead. The away defence are torn open and Robert Lewandowski lays the ball off to Thomas Muller. He looks up and clips in a pass to the unmarked Ivan Perisic in the box and the winger stoops down to head into the net.

    Bayern Munich 0-0 Eintracht Frankfurt

    Another chance for Robert Lewandowski - well by his standards - but a defender puts him off as he tries to control a cross and it's a goal-kick.

    Bayern Munich 0-0 Eintracht Frankfurt

    Robert Lewandowski is in the back of the net... but the ball isn't. Somehow the goal machine fails to turn a low cross home from about two yards out. You'd have backed him to score.

    Bayern Munich 0-0 Eintracht Frankfurt

    Bayern Munich are so close to taking the lead. Thomas Muller flicks a header over the goalkeeper and somehow Dominik Kohr leaps to head it off the goalline.

    You know sometimes when people say goalline clearance and it's actually about six yards from the goal? This was properly on the line.

    I'm sitting at home on my own doing this live text. Would it be inappropriate to have a beer? Thumbs up if you think I should have one. Thumbs down if you think I shouldn't.

    Bayern Munich 0-0 Eintracht Frankfurt

    They've obviously decided not to do the fake crowd noise for the German Cup games. Sounds like a training match.

    Just like last night's semi-final at Saarbrucken, not a fan to be seen. This one is at an echoey Allianz Arena.

    The winner of this match will face Bayer Leverkusen in the final on 4 July in Berlin's empty Olympic Stadium.

    Leverkusen beat fourth division Saarbrucken 3-0 in the other semi-final last night.

  16. Postpublished at 19:35 British Summer Time 10 June 2020

    Bayern Munich have won a remarkable 19 out of 20 matches, drawing the other.

    Tottenham, Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund are among the teams to be beaten in that run, while Bayern have hit four or more goals nine times.

    They beat Eintracht 5-2 in the Bundesliga a couple of weeks ago.

    Niko Kovac left Bayern by mutual consent back in November after they were thrashed 5-1 by... Eintracht Frankfurt.

    But Bayern have been a team reborn since Hansi Flick - Kovac's assistant - took over, initially as caretaker boss.
