Eintracht Frankfurt: Exciting victory despite 50 minutes of delay!

Eintracht Frankfurt has taken an important step towards Champions League! With an impressive 3-1 victory over VfL Bochum, the Dino Toppmöller team has significantly improved its chances of European places. The goals scored Rasmus Kristensen (27th minute), Jean-Matteo Bahoya (32nd minute) and Michy Bathshuayi (96th minute). The Bochum Gerrit Holtmann reduced to 1: 3 in the 73rd minute. With this, Eintracht Frankfurt has drawn the same point with the third -placed FSV Mainz 05 and is three points ahead of Leipzig and Freiburg, as the Krone reported.

The game that was scheduled for 3:30 p.m. started with a dramatic delay of almost an hour. The reason for this was the banner and fence flags of the Frankfurt fans who blocked important escape gates in the guest area. The stadium spokesman asked the viewers to remove their flags, but the fans initially showed themselves uncooperatively. It was only after an urgent appeal by Eintracht from Eintracht, sports director Markus Krösche, who personally turned to the fans more than half an hour after the planned kick -off, did it succeed in defusing the situation. After this intervention, the trailers finally hung their fence flags, so that referee Felix Zwayer kicked off the game at 4:20 p.m. href = "https://www.hessenschau.de/sport/fussball/eintracht-frankfurt/zaunfafahnen-verhaengten-fluchttore-in-bochum-verpaetet-se-se-v1.bochum-tracht-fanbanner-100.html"> hessenschau.de

These types of problems are not new in Bochum: As early as September 2023 and in January 2024 there were similar incidents that delayed the games against Borussia Mönchengladbach and VfB Stuttgart. At that time there was even a game shortly before the demolition, a scenario that underlines the need to improve safety precautions in the stadium.
