Bayern Munich clinched the 2012\/13 Bundesliga title with a 1-0 away win at Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday afternoon, MTNFootball.com reports.<\/p>\n

Bastian Schweinsteiger scored the only goal of the game early in the second half, sealing FCB\u2019s 23rddomestic championship.<\/p>\n

The country\u2019s biggest club side claimed the title with six games to spare, a Bundesliga record.<\/p>\n

Bayern, who fielded a strong line-up while still being able to rest the likes of Mario Mandzukic and Franck Ribery, should have found themselves at least a goal to the good in the first half, but were unable to convert the chances created.<\/p>\n

Young winger Xherdan Shaqiri struck the post with a low shot on 11 minutes, while a quarter hour later David Alaba missed from the penalty spot after Thomas Muller had been tripped in the 18-yard area.<\/p>\n

Early in the second half the Bavarians broke the deadlock, with Schweinsteiger flicking home a shot from Philipp Lahm\u2019s low cross from the right flank.<\/p>\n

That goal was the visitors\u2019 attacking highlight of the second half, as Eintracht pushed hard for an equaliser in the dying minutes.<\/p>\n

Bayern came under some real pressure and needed goalkeeper Manuel Neuer to make two fine saves to deny Srdjan Lakic and Carlos Zambrano in the 79th and 82ndminutes respectively.<\/p>\n

Yet 1-0 was enough for the Bavarians, who celebrated clinching the title at the final whistle but will keep their festivities understated as they have a Champions League match against Juventus on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
