Phew – what a game. What a passion,, respect to both Teams! The TSG is turning the game, but in number they can’t hold the force of the Eintracht Stand, still want to here the victory and then gets. Five days before the Europa League eighth-final first leg against Inter Milan defeated the Frankfurt-TSG Hoffenheim with 3:2 (1:1) and enlarged the gap to the rivals for the European places on six points.
Goncalo Paciencia (90.+6) provided near the end for the victory of the Frankfurter, the late by Sebastien Haller (89.) to compensate came. Previously, the Croatian world Cup Hero Ante Rebic (20). with a head deflected a free-kick for the deserved leadership of the host. The Brazilian Joelinton (43.) as well as Ishak Belfodil (60.) turned the match around in the meantime for the benefit of the Heimer that some of the defensive problems of the Frankfurt revealed, and the game after the dismissal of Kasim Adams (65./hope Yellow-Red) ended in.
The hope Heimer, had to get on the Defensive without captain Kevin Vogt, Benjamin Hübner, Ermin Bicakcic and the suspended Pavel Kaderabek, were impressed with the counter hit. You would not be allowed to complain even if in the following minutes, the agile Rebic, or the equally eye-catching Sebastien Haller had increased. The sometimes reckless Offensive drive of Concord offered the TSG, however, also large spaces that must be avoided against Milan. After 35 minutes, the 49.500 viewers and therefore an entertaining game between two Teams coequal, of the compensation was in order.
The better actions in the early stages of the second passage possessed by the guests, twice the Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp had to stop with the reflexes of a residue. In the distance, shot from Belfodil (54.) the aluminum saved the now suspended acting host the minutes earned later in residue came.
The sending-off of Adam allowed for the frankfurters to come back into the game and to prevent the impending defeat. But often the hosts are uncoordinated in their attacks, which were now no longer nearly as dangerous as in the first passage. In the final stage Makoto Hasebe (83.) and Mijat Gacinovic (84.) great opportunities, the compensation was in the air. Then Haller struck from a corner, the harmony remained in charge and were rewarded by Paciencia.
