Half-time conclusion: The game started with a little shock for Eintracht: In the first minute, Kevin Trapp had to tackle Lois Openda, Antonio Nusa used the follow-up shot to make it supposedly 1-0, but Openda was just offside when he passed the ball. Eintracht was lucky, the Frankfurt keeper continued to be the focus of the rest of the game and kept his team in the game with his strong saves. The only time he was powerless when he conceded the goal was when he headed Sesko after a previously blocked shot. The SGE needed some time to find its way into the game, Omar Marmoush had the best chance with a free kick that hit the crossbar. Nene Brown did better in the 40th minute. After a clever pass from Can Uzun, Brown scored the not undeserved equalizer with a powerful shot. A goal that can inspire the second half.
0:3, 2:2, 1:3 are Frankfurt Eintracht’s last three results: the former against today’s opponent Hessen. On Sunday evening, RB Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt complete the 14th matchday of the Bundesliga in the new edition of the cup duel. After the crisis in results, the Leipzig team were able to gain a little breathing room with victories in the cup against SGE and in the league in Kiel, but recently sealed their early exit from the Champions League with the defeat against Aston Villa. The guests from the Main metropolis also want to get back on the road to success and put an end to the small victory lull: with an away three points, the Eagles would not only be able to take revenge for the cup defeat eleven days ago, but also jump back to second place. In addition, the gap to league leaders FC Bayern Munich would be reduced to three points and the status as the first Bayern hunter would be underlined. If RB coach Marco Rose confirmed that Eintracht were favorites before the cup duel, he spoke about the quick reunion “Two ambitious teams that meet each other and have their issues at the moment with the many games and injuries.” Whether the visiting team is with you “lust for revenge” comes to Saxony, the “Red Bulls” trainer is not sure. His counterpart knows the answer: “We still have a certain amount of anger in our stomachs, we have to convert it into positive energy. But we have to stick to ourselves, not act headlessly and bring good energy to the pitch.”said SGE coach Dino Toppmöller before the game. So you can be excited.
Marmoush and Larsson back in the starting line-up
Hugo Larsson was fit for the game in time. After recent muscular problems, Toppmöller can use the Swede’s services again. The use of the young midfielder is all the more important and pleasing, as Tuta is missing an important defensive part. The Brazilian has a calf problem; in the Lyon game, the defender was replaced by Ellyes Skhiri at halftime. Omar Marmoush, Can Uzun, Nene Brown and Rasmus Kristensen also rotate into the starting eleven.
