Eintracht Frankfurt struggles to win 1-0 in the Europa League!

In an exciting Europa League duel, the Frankfurt Eintracht and their fans hoped for an exhilarating evening, but what they got was a tight 1-0 victory against the Latvian master Fk Rigas Futbola Skola. In an arena with over 56,000 spectators it was the Joker Hugo Larsson who became the hero of the game and scored the decisive goal in the 79th minute. Eintracht Frankfurt is very evident in the group phase!

coach Dino Toppmöller had urged his team: "Riga has very robust, big defender". And indeed, Eintracht did not get through in the first half. A weak appearance of the SGE had the fans whistled for the break. The first chances belonged to the guests, but a hard shot by Adam Markhiyev missed the goal. 18-year-old Can Uzun and Igor Matanovic could not effectively implement the attacks, which caused great unrest in the ranks.

drama in the second half

After the clear announcement in the cabin during the half -time break, Eintracht came back more powerfully. However, the supposed 1: 0 was canceled due to an offside position and the voltage rose when a penalty for Frankfurt was initially given, but was then withdrawn after Var check. But where others fell silent, Hugo Larsson fought as a rescuer. The fans were finally allowed to cheer with his late goal. But the nervousness remained, because in direct return the latte saved the harmony from a possible balance. So the SGE with two wins and a draw is still in the top group of Europa-League!
