Bayern Munich remain on course for the double after the Bundesliga leaders squeezed past Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 in Wednesday-s German Cup semi-final behind closed doors. Bayern-s early goal by Ivan Perisic was cancelled out by a second-half equaliser from Frankfurt-s Danny da Costa at the Allianz Arena. However, Robert Lewandowski settled the matter with the winner 16 minutes from time to claim his 45th goal this season in all competitions. Bayern will face Bayer Leverkusen, who beat fourth-tier side Saarbruecken 3-0 on Tuesday, in the final at Berlin-s Olympic Stadium on July 4.

"We didn-t make the right decisions in the area, we should have been three or four up at half-time, which would-ve made our lives much easier," admitted Bayern-s Thomes Mueller, whose chip set up Perisic-s opening goal. "You could feel the tiredness from both teams in the second-half when it got close, the will was there and we defended well."
