In the last Bundesliga home game of the successful year, Europa League winners Eintracht Frankfurt celebrated a brilliant 4-2 (3-1) win over Hoffenheim on Wednesday and moved up the table to a place in the Champions League. Driven by the extremely strong former world champion Mario Götze, Frankfurt got off to a dream start and, thanks to a double strike from Djibril Sow (6th) and Randal Kolo Muani (8th), led 2-0 early on. After Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe (29th) made it 3-0, the fans in Deutsche Bank Park, which was filled with 49,000 spectators, chanted: “Only SGE will be German champion!”
Union Berlin suffered the next setback in the Bundesliga a few days after losing the lead in the table, but remains difficult to beat at home. In the last home game of the year, the Berliners drew 2-2 (2-2) from FC Augsburg in the sold-out An der Alten Försterei stadium. Sheraldo Becker (7th minute) and Kevin Behrens (22nd) put the Irons in the lead twice in the eventful first half in front of 22,012 spectators. Florian Niederlechner answered for the guests (8th/39th).
Thanks to goalscorer Simon Terodde, FC Schalke 04 is finding new courage in the relegation battle. Coach Thomas Reis’ team deservedly won 1-0 (1-0) against FSV Mainz 05 on Wednesday evening. In front of 58,256 spectators in Gelsenkirchen, Terodde scored the decisive goal in the 10th minute for the fighting and this time also playfully strong hosts. The second division record scorer ensured the first win after seven defeats in a row in the Bundesliga and the first success under Reis in the third game.
RB Leipzig broke the best defense in the Bundesliga with a French double and continued to catch up. In a new edition of the DFB Cup final, the Saxons won 3-1 (0-0) against SC Freiburg and thus recorded the twelfth game in a row without defeat. Mohamed Simakan (55th) scored the redeeming lead in front of 41,240 fans on Wednesday after Leipzig had previously hit aluminum four times. His French compatriot Christopher Nkunku followed up just over a minute later. Lukas Kübler (66th) made the connection with a dream goal before Emil Forsberg (78th) converted a penalty kick. Leipzig climbed to fifth, Freiburg, who had conceded just 13 goals, slipped to third.
