The Bundesliga champions were denied a late penalty in the cup final, and the club's future boss admitted the winners were fortunate
Niko Kovac smoothed relations with new club Bayern Munich as he admitted the Bundesliga champions should have been awarded a stoppage-time penalty to deny his Eintracht Frankfurt side DFB-Pokal glory.
Frankfurt, led by Kovac for the final time, ran out 3-1 winners in Berlin , but only after Javi Martinez appeared to be denied a clear spot-kick when fouled by Kevin-Prince Boateng in a frenetic conclusion to the game.
