Gerhardt equalizes
Only one win in the last five competitive games: Eintracht Frankfurt has lost its step in the race for the Champions League places. Even in Wolfsburg it is only enough for a 2:2.
Half of the Frankfurt players went head down after the final whistle. Only 2: 2 (2: 2) at VfL Wolfsburg – that was not enough for Eintracht on Sunday evening to move back up to one point to the Champions League places in the Bundesliga. The sixth in the table has now only won one of the last five competitive games. And he missed the great opportunity that the point losses of RB Leipzig and SC Freiburg had offered him this weekend.
“Of course we wanted to keep up,” said Eintracht goalkeeper Kevin Trapp, but qualified: “It wasn’t possible today. In the second half there wasn’t that much going on up front.” VfL captain Maximilian Arnold saw it similarly, commenting: “We had clearer chances in the second half.”
Ironically, Omar Marmoush, courted by the Frankfurters, gave VfL the lead in the 10th minute. Wolfsburg were the better team in front of 27,853 spectators, but gave up this lead within just four minutes due to a blatant lack of concentration in defense.
When Randal Kolo Muani (22nd) made it 1-1, two VfL defenders were bad. Evan Ndicka’s dream goal (26′) was preceded by a bad pass by Micky van de Ven and a failed header by Paulo Otavio. Wolfsburg quickly shook off the two goals they conceded and earned Yannick Gerhardt the equalizer before the break (43′).
