Setback for Eintracht Frankfurt in the race through the ranks of the Champions League on Friday night! After an early lead at Werder Bremen, the Hessians lost 1: 2 (1: 0). André Silva’s first goal (minute 9) was not enough, Theodor Gebre Selassie (47th) and Josh Sargent (62nd) turned the game around. It was the first loss in 2021 for the Frankfurt sky strikers.
Early Leadership After Wrong Decision
Hütter made three changes for the game in Bremen. Erik Durm, André Silva and Djibril Sow were transferred to the first team by Evan N’Dicka (yellow card sanction), Luka Jovic and Almamy Touré. And the game quickly accelerated and started with a lucky goal for Eintracht.
After an action from Sow, referee Robert Hartmann wrongly decided a corner kick. This was carried out briefly and after a precise cross from Kostic worked its way over Silva’s head in the Bremen net (9th minute), the 19th goal of the season for the Portuguese.
Bremen gets stronger in the first race
The Frankfurter went ahead and passed Silva the next time, but Jiri Pavlenka saved Bremen (19th). Then Eintracht lost the thread and was lucky that Milot Rashica first missed the tie with a free kick (27th), then an offside (29th) and shortly after with a touch on the crossbar (36th). But as it was, the Frankfurters entered the booth with this short run.
But this advantage went down in history shortly after the reboot. A great pass into the depths from Theodor Gebre Selassie, who didn’t give Kevin Trapp a chance with a precise shot in the far corner (47th). At first the assistant’s flag was raised, but Werder’s right-back was clearly not in the forbidden zone.
Bremen’s offside game: leading to success
Bremen recovered well from the deficit and the crushing 0: 4 in Hoffenheim and entered the danger zone mainly from the right side. And Sargent rewarded the efforts of the hosts, after a pass from Maximilian Eggestein was apparently not offside after a long review, a very difficult decision (62nd).
You must be curious and always stay on the edge. At 68 minutes the ball returned to enter the Frankfurt net, but this time Sargent was again a few inches offside. The video referee had more to do than Pavlenka, who only had to stop brilliantly against Silva (77).
Third defeat of the season for Eintracht
Eintracht could not avoid their third defeat of the season. Werder’s victory is completely fine, the Hanseatic team was the team with the most grip and a little better at home. And as is often the case: a win against FC Bayern Munich doesn’t always have to be an advantage.
