The Frankfurters responded with furious attacks, but in general their attacking game was ineffective and in particular the conversion of good chances. In addition, Bielefeld could not be put off and defended in a structured manner. And if there was a gap, there was Arminia’s goalkeeper Ortega. SGE striker Rafael Borré (32nd/35th) failed twice in promising positions at the strongly reacting DSC keeper.
Frankfurt lacks a killer instinct
Even after the change of sides, Eintracht had more of the game, but their killer instinct was missing in their attacks against low-lying Bielefeld. Lindström, for example, only failed to find it from close range by Ortega (55′), two minutes later he put the ball a little too far, allowing Arminia’s goalkeeper to pick up the ball. Philip Kostic (66′) hit the side netting from a tight angle.
Frankfurt literally bit its teeth on the Bielefeld defensive. At times, the East Westphalians put a pin prick offensively, for example when Wimmer (72nd) in the SGE penalty area chipped a ball over the bar after a nice dribbling.
As the game went on, you got the impression that the Frankfurters, who were at least combatively convincing, simply wouldn’t get the ball into the goal that day. Until the end, there was a lack of precision against Bielefeld, who didn’t let up and who had earned their first win at Eintracht in 15 years.
