rehe Frankfurter Eintracht lost its winless streak under dramatic circumstances. Following the 3: 3 match against Borussia Mönchengladbach, manager Adi Hütter’s team has been waiting for the full three points from nine Bundesliga games. The Frankfurter apparently led 3-1 until the 89th minute after Silva and Barkok had traded Gladbach’s lead through Stindl with two goals.
But a dubious yellow-red card against Abraham and a penalty for Gladbach shook the harmony. Stindl converted 2: 3 in the 89th minute, and in six minutes of injury time the former national player managed to tie with his third goal of the night.
Eintracht coach Hütter offered an offense against Gladbach who had not yet worked together in this lineup: Right behind the lone point Silva, Barkok and Younes should give impulses as a forward midfielder. Kamada was on the bench for the first time this season when the match began. The Japanese had recently inserted very long breaks between his actions and lost many duels.
The first minutes belonged to Gladbach. Borussia dominated their rivals almost as they wanted. Ginter received the ball from Thuram with a heel in the fourth minute, but the national defender did not hit him well from 14 meters. My colleague Stindl did it completely differently ten minutes later. The midfielder circled a free kick to the nearest centimeter around the Eintracht wall. At the last moment, the ball flew off the post and landed in the net. Goalkeeper Trapp seemed surprised, the ball seemed durable despite the precise trajectory because it was in the air for a long time.
Come out of nowhere
And the harmony? Nothing. But there are soccer games that simply experience twists and turns out of nowhere. In the 21st minute, the Frankfurt defender Hinteregger hit fellow Austrian Lainer on the arm as he tried to shoot the ball towards Gladbacher Tor – penalty, there were no protests. As usual, Silva moved from point to point for the third time this season. Borussia seemed impressed, the unit released from all shackles. Three minutes later it was 2-1 for Frankfurt. Silva had separated himself from his opponents brilliantly, Barkok played it accurately and goalkeeper Sommer had no chance to defend himself against the Portuguese’s determined shot. The Gladbachers protested this time that the ball would not have rested when a free throw was taken. Referee Cortus stood firm in his decision.
The climax of the first half was yet to come. After Abraham won the ball, this time Silva played for free with his colleague Barkok, and what the Frankfurt native did was great cinema. Instead of just shooting the ball at goal, he made two more hooks, tossing the ball under the sole and casually pushing it toward goal. A target for annual reviews.
From this minute 32 until the halftime whistle, the game offered the best football entertainment. It went back and forth, and that it stayed at 3-1 was a surprise. With the break at half-time, everything calmed down. Eintracht managed to keep the Gladbachers away from their own goal and become dangerous. In the 65th minute, Younes could have decided the game at 4-1. But not realizing how free he was, he frantically fired the ball at himself instead of running towards the goal with it. Ten minutes later, referee Cortus decided a penalty when Zakaria had fouled Frankfurt Kohr. But after the video assistant’s objection, he moved the crime scene out of the penalty area. Barkok threw the free kick over the goal.
Instead of easily taking the lead over time, Eintracht now had to fear. Cortus sent Eintracht captain Abraham in the 81st minute with yellow and red. His offense: He put his hand on the opponent’s Embolo’s shoulder and quickly withdrew it. In the 89th minute, the match began to turn again. Barkok made a fan error on the edge of the area, Embolo fell and Cortus awarded a penalty. Stindl converted to 2: 3, and in the fifth minute of injury time he actually saved his team the point with a header.
