Frankfurt almost certainly has CL
Seven goalscorers in a spectacle game
It’s about a lot, it’s the top game, it’s spectacularly offensive: Eintracht Frankfurt wins against VfL Wolfsburg. Both clubs can almost certainly plan to qualify for the Champions League in the Bundesliga. You can rely on the offensive power on both sides.
The around 40 fans in front of the stadium celebrated Eintracht Frankfurt euphorically after the offensive fireworks against VfL Wolfsburg. The car parade could be heard long after the 4: 3 (2: 1) against the direct competitor. After the spectacle, the Champions League for Hessen is getting closer and closer.
“We have a lot of self-confidence. If you win games like that, you have the right to stay up there,” said Sebastian Rode at Sky: “Even if we still have difficult games, we are not afraid.” The gap to Wolfsburg is also only one point.
Daichi Kamada (8th), Luka Jovic (27th), Andre Silva (54th) and Erik Durm (61th) scored for Frankfurt against the best defensive in the league up to that point and after more than five years they won again at home against the wolves. For VfL, for whom Ridle Baku (6th), Wout Weghorst (46th) and Tuta (84th, own goal) scored, the chances for the premier class are still excellent. “Nothing big happened, but it wasn’t necessary. That is very disappointing,” said Weghorst.
Wolfsburg got off to a brilliant start
Eintracht was taken by surprise without their national player Amin Younes, who was initially sitting on the bench, and defensive boss Martin Hinteregger, who was still injured, by surprise. Wolfsburg got going like the fire brigade. Yannick Gerhardt (3rd) failed initially because of Kevin Trapp, who reacted brilliantly, but the goalkeeper was powerless with the perfect flick from the edge of the penalty area in Baku.
Whipped on by the cheers from the fans in front of the stadium, the Hessians had the right answer ready. Kamada used a perfect back pass from Erik Durm from 14 meters. Both teams showed right from the start why they had the best cards in the race for the premier class. A balanced encounter developed at the highest level.
Wolfsburg combined dangerously over the right side and the towering Baku into the penalty area, on the other side Silva, Jovic and Kamada caused a stir. Jovic only failed with a head on the lower edge of the crossbar (13th), before ending his goal doldrums of nine games after a perfect back pass from Andre Silva.
After the change, VfL got off to another lightning start, with Weghorst’s first attack. But that was when the spectacle really took its course. Eintracht replied quickly again – and this time even twice. Despite the lead, the SGE got involved in an open exchange of blows in the final phase, both teams still had a few chances. Things got exciting again after Tuta’s own goal.
