Eintracht Frankfurt remain winless in their ninth consecutive Bundesliga game. In the home game against Borussia Mönchengladbach, Eintracht managed only 3: 3 (3: 1) despite a long lead.
Captain Lars Stindl gave Borussia the lead with a free kick (14th minute). Forward André Silva only drew with a penalty hand (21), only to turn the game around shortly after (24). Aymen Barkok scored 3: 1 (31). Frankfurt captain David Abraham saw yellow-red in the final phase for a tactical foul (81), before Stindl struck again from the spot to the connection (90) and then with a header to equalize (90 ° + 4).
After four minutes, Gladbach’s team had the first good chance: Marcus Thuram made a dangerous heel pass into the alley with his back to the goal. Matthias Ginter, who had passed, could not get the ball into the goal in front of Kevin Trapp.
Stindl did much better from around 20 meters: after Makoto Hasebe fouled Laszlo Benes, Gladbacher circled the ball from a central position with plenty of spin around the Frankfurt Wall. Trapp brought his fingertips closer to the ball, but could no longer prevent his Eintracht from falling behind.
Silva reaches the best forwards
However, with the leadership, Gladbach’s attacking efforts were initially stopped. Instead, Stefan Lainer brought the hosts back into play: the Gladbach defender’s outstretched arm blocked a volley from Frankfurt’s Martin Hinteregger, and referee Benjamin Cortus immediately decided a penalty. Silva swung to the right to equalize (21.).
Three minutes later, Silva scored his second goal of the day in the simplest way: lurking between Gladbach’s defenders, the Portuguese launched a long ball deep into the depths of Barkok and finished flat. As the ball slipped under Gladbach Sommer’s goalkeeper, Silva’s ninth goal of the season gave Eintracht the lead (24th). This puts Silva in third place on the top scorers list with Wolfsburg’s Wout Weghorst, only Dortmund’s Erling Haaland (ten goals) and Bayern’s Robert Lewandowski (13 goals) have scored more goals.
The most beautiful goal of the night was achieved by coach Barkok: after a high ball victory in Frankfurt, the offensive player dribbled to the right half, let Ginter and Nico Elvedi out and put the ball in the far corner to put on 3-1 (31)
After the break, Gladbach’s counteroffensive did not take place. When the guests had the best chance, Alassane Pléa was offside, but Erik Durm had cleared the Frenchman’s shot just before the line (51 ‘). Former Gladbacher Amin Younes had Frankfurt’s best 4-1 chance, his hasty Schlenzer narrowly missing the goal of the summer (64th).
The dismissal puts Gladbach back on the line
In the end, the focus returned to the referee team: a possible second penalty for Eintracht after Denis Zakaria fouled Dominik Kohr was corrected after the video assistant intervened for the free kick (78th) . Abraham saw his second yellow card after a tactical foul on Breel Embolo (81), Stindl made the connection with a penalty (90). In injury time, the Gladbach captain led the happy tie with his third goal (90 + 4).
