Weghorst doubles for Eintracht defeat | hessenschau.de

For a while, Eintracht Frankfurt looked like the winner in Wolfsburg, then VfL-Knipser Wout Weghorst scored twice. It is the second defeat of the Bundesliga season for Hessen.

Eintracht Frankfurt suffered their second defeat of the season in the Bundesliga away game in Wolfsburg. With 1: 2 (0: 0) it was even sought for a while that the Hessians could celebrate their third victory of the season, but Bas Dost’s 1: 0 (minute 63 / penalty) was not enough in the end, as that VfL Knipser Wout Weghorst scored twice in the final tournament (76./Handelfmeter/88.). With this defeat, the Frankfurt team loses more and more from the top of the table.

The unit, which was supposed to get by without André Silva, started at Autostadt erratically. The Hessians did not participate adequately in the duels, they hardly carried passports to their own husbands, and were mentally at least a step slower than the wolves. However, the hosts did not take advantage of this when a deflected shot by Djibril Sow from Xaver Schlager hit the post (9th).

Free kostic prizes before you casteels

It took a long time for Frankfurt to get into this slow and unspectacular football match. Only after a good twenty minutes did the Hessians slowly find their way to Wölfe’s goal with some good combinations. Sow tried twice, but was prevented from finishing once in the final second (20th) and missed once from a long shot by Koen Casteels (26th). Both teams then tied in the course of this break, which is not necessarily suitable for football aesthetes, only Jerome Roussillon appeared dangerously in front of Frankfurter Kasten, but did not hit the ball correctly (45 °).

The second section began without a goal and with the great doubt of who would dare now a little more. The answer: both. Eintracht should have taken the lead first, Filip Kostic aimed completely free in front of Casteels with his weaker right foot but clearly above the goal (55 °). A few seconds later, the VfL Weghorst striker appeared in front of the Eintracht venue, but missed because of Kevin Trapp and, at least according to the referee team, was also offside.

Dost and Weghorst meet from the point

The game had finally picked up speed, the Frankfurters were in the game. After a free kick from Kostic, Martin Hinteregger lay down on the ground and complained loudly, and rightly so. Wölfe’s defender John Anthony Brooks had clearly and relatively awkwardly pushed the Austrian down and knocked him down. According to video footage, referee Markus Schmidt decided a penalty, Dost was not called twice, and scored 1-0 (63rd).

After the leadership, Eintracht huddled further and further behind and let the host arrive. Trapp was able to stop a free kick by Maximilian Arnold (73), but three minutes later he was powerless. After a hand from Stefan Ilsanker in the penalty area, Weghorst was able to run from the spot and hit with the same confidence as Dost before (76th).

Wolfsburg meets shortly before the end

The 1: 1 was an effective hit. Just two minutes later, Bartosz Bialek was about to go up for Wolfsburg, but David Abraham was barely able to save his header from the line. The Hessians didn’t achieve much in the last quarter of an hour, but Weghorst even more. In the 88th minute, the VfL striker scored the final score of 1: 2, which was bitter from Frankfurt’s point of view.
