Frankfurt avoids the comeback of the season, Marmoush and Ekitike still scorers

The same refrain every weekend, but this time, with a few thrills and a scenario not far from catastrophe. If Frankfurt was able to rely on its two star attackers, Omar Marmoush and Hugo Ekitike, to win painfully against Stuttgart this Sunday afternoon (2-3), we indeed long believed we were witnessing the comeback of the season. In the first period, Ekitike broke the deadlock on a corner from Marmoush, as always (45th), while Demirovic had missed a penalty for the locals a little earlier (22nd).

Returning from the locker room, Nathaniel Brown made it 2-0 for the Eagles (56th), when Marmoush froze the Mercedes-Benz Arena a few minutes later with a sublime free kick, his third in three matches (62nd, 0-3). In 10 matches, the 25-year-old striker has already been involved in 18 goals (11 goals, 7 assists), to the delight of his club, 3rd in the Bundesliga this evening. But we imagine that the result should not prevent Dino Toppmöller from pulling the ears of his players, surprised three times in the last minutes of the match, first on a goal from Vagnoman (86th, 1-3), then from Woltemade (90th, 2-3), and therefore Fuhrich on the gong (90+7th), before an offside was finally signaled. Frankfurt is breathing, Stuttgart is in 11th place.
