As his still quite incredulous teammates celebrated in a line in front of the away end at Allianz Arena, they found the clarity to recognise who deserved the moment.
A reluctant Kevin Trapp was shoved towards the celebrating fans by a gaggle of his team but if his beaming grin showed how unexpected a delight this was, it also admitted that there were other reasons to savour Eintracht Frankfurt’s triumph – for the team, and for their goalkeeper individually.
After Leon Goretzka’s goal appeared to signal the opening of the floodgates, Eintracht hit back less than three minutes later as Martin Hinteregger headed in their only corner of the game – not the first time the Austrian centre-back has made hay in the Bayern penalty area.
Then there was the winner, with Filip Kostić scoring from the Filip Kostić spot – wide left of the penalty area from the perspective of Eintracht attacking.
