FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Luis Díaz needed just 15 seconds to give Bayern Munich the lead over Eintracht Frankfurt in their Bundesliga game on Saturday.
Díaz darted onto a cross from Serge Gnabry to score at the far post after a misplaced clearance from Frankfurt defender Robin Koch.
It was the Colombian winger's fourth Bundesliga goal in six games since he joined from Liverpool and his fifth in 10 games in all competitions.
Bayern's goal came from what was actually the second attempt at kicking off the game. The referee called back play at the first kickoff after spotting Bayern's Michael Olise had moved into the Frankfurt half before he was supposed to.
Bayern can stretch its Bundesliga lead to four points over Borussia Dortmund following Dortmund's 1-1 draw with third-placed Leipzig earlier Saturday.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Brandt Clarke scored twice to help Los Angeles break out of an offensive funk, Darcy Kuemper made 23 saves and the Kings beat the Chicago Blackhawks 6-0 on Saturday night to split a two-game set.
Warren Foegele, Andrei Kuzmenko, Mikey Anderson and Alex Turcotte also scored after the Kings had been held to two goals or fewer in seven of their past nine games. The six goals are their most in regulation this season and they won by more than one goal for the first time since a 5-1 victory at Montreal on Nov. 11.
Spencer Knight made 26 saves for the Blackhawks. Chicago forward Teuvo Teravainen did not play after he was struck in the face by a puck in the final minute of a 2-1 victory over the Kings on Thursday night.
Goals of any sort had been hard to come by for the Kings over the past three weeks, but Foegele’s one-timer early in the second period led to an offensive eruption in the middle 20 minutes.
Kuzmenko then got Los Angeles’ first power-play goal in five games and only its third in the past 12 outings. They are 3-for-36 (8.3%) in that span.
Clarke finished off the breakthrough period by scoring through the screen of Corey Perry, who gave Knight no vantage point to see the wrist shot from the high slot.
Clarke got his second of the night early in the third period, followed by Anderson and Turcotte each netting their second goals of the season.
Blackhawks: At Anaheim on Sunday night.
Kings: At Utah on Monday night.
