BERLIN, June 10 -- Bayern Munich booked their berth in the final for the third consecutive time after eliminating Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 through Robert Lewandowski's winner in the German Cup semifinal on Wednesday.

From the kick-off, Bayern took the reins on home soil but Frankfurt presented a well-positioned defense.

The hosts pressed the "Eagles" onto the back foot and came by a number of chances in the early stages as Dominik Kohr had to scratch Thomas Muller's header off the goal line while Lewandowski rattled the roof of the net moments later.

It came as no surprise that the Bavarians broke the deadlock with just 14 minutes played when Muller's chip into the area allowed Ivan Perisic to nod home with a diving header.

The German record champions gained momentum and should have doubled their advantage through Kingsley Coman, who missed an empty goal in the 26th minute.

Hansi Flick's men remained wasteful with their opportunities as Coman squandered a presentable counterattack before goalkeeper Kevin Trapp denied Lewandowski at the half hour mark.

Frankfurt lacked in penetration and left Bayern custodian Manuel Neuer without work in the first 45 minutes.

After the restart, Frankfurt grew into the game as the clock ticked and punished the host's wastefulness in the 69th minute when substitute Danny da Costa drilled a loose rebound from the edge of the box into the top left corner.
