Bayern pressed frenetically for the late leveller but clinical Frankfurt caught the "Bavarians" flat footed as Mijat Gacinovic tapped home the 3-1 win into the empty goal.

With the result, Frankfurt lift their first German Cup since 1988 as head coach Niko Kovac upset his future employer Bayern Munich in the final. The "Eagles" booked thus their UEFA Europa League group stage ticket.

"Football can write the most beautiful stories. I am happy for the club and the team. When you stand together you can do it all. Last year we lost this final. This year we are the happy ones. I had great two-and-a-half year here but I leave the club on a high note," Frankfurt head coach Niko Kovac said.

"Frankfurt successfully disrupted our game today. We have to make more out of our chances in the first half. Nevertheless, the referee denied us a late penalty," Bayern Munich's sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic said.
