Ekitike and Frankfurt put Dortmund to torture – Bundesliga – J18 – Frankfurt-Dortmund (2-0)

Buts : Ekitike (18^e) and Højlund (90^e +2) for Eintracht

There is fire, the real one.

To celebrate the future departure of Omar Marmoush to Manchester City, Eintracht Franckfurt had a feast. For the first match of the Bundesliga return phase, the Red and Whites prolong Dortmund's ordeal. They are third this evening, eleven points ahead of Dortmund, tenth and on a terrible series of three defeats in a row. He still hasn't won in 2025.

Nuri Şahin initially failed to find the tactical weapons to stop Hugo Ekitike, in an action where he had to count on the rush of Rasmus Kristensen (1-0, 5^e). The piston hit his striker, he ran, ran, then crossed, and the Frenchman scored his ninth goal of the season in the Bundesliga. Dortmund then showed nothing, or almost nothing, and Oscar Højlund, also Danish and brother of Rasmus (Højlund, not Kristensen), showed self-sacrifice to bring down three Dortmund players (2-0, 90^e +2).

That the Champions League final seems far away.
