Eintracht Frankfurt has achieved the next important points on the way to the Champions League qualification. In 3-0 (2-0) against 1. FC Heidenheim, striker Hugo Ekitiké was once again the outstanding man on the field. The Frenchman prepared the second goal by Robin Koch (42nd minute), he scored the third goal (71st) himself. After only 10 minutes, Jean-Mattéo Bahoya had put the SGE in the lead.
Eintracht consolidated third place and now has a lead of five points in fifth place. Heidenheim missed to break away from the direct relegation places and remains on relegation rank 16. The gap to FC St. Pauli has grown to seven points (to the table).
Even without Mario Götze and Hugo Larsson in the starting eleven, the Hesse gave the tone from the start. Bahoya’s sharp cross would almost have brought the lead after 77 seconds. A few minutes later it worked on the presentation of the last badly criticized Fares Chaibi. Top striker Ekitiké also had several chances (5th/15th) on an early goal. Full -back Arthur Theat only hit the outside network.
As a defense chief Koch, who has made a massive profile in the past few weeks, to look at the second goal before the change, Heidenheim was already demoralizing after a half. A symbol for the great uncertainty was a conclusion from Marvin Pieringer, who dropped past the gate completely freely from a short distance.
Eintracht goalkeeper Kaua Santos, who saved the 1-1 against oppressively superior Spurs on Thursday in London on Thursday in London. However, if the young Brazilian was needed, he was there. Routinier Kevin Trapp is currently injured and could have lost his regular place after returning.
“You have to say very clearly that Kaua is really, very good. You have seen in training again and again that he is a very great talent that he has a lot of potential. The services he has now shown also helped us to be successful,” said Trapp at DAZN. After his return, the coach will make a decision, says Trapp. Toppmöller had recently avoided an early determination.
