After a banner slat before kick-off, the game was threatened. On the square, Eintracht Frankfurt gave VfL Bochum no chance. Is there a threat of aftermath?
Eintracht Frankfurt won the Bundesliga away game at VfL Bochum 3-1. Rasmus Kristensen (27th) and Jean-Mattéo Bahoya (32nd) scored the two crucial goals for Eintracht within just five minutes. Gerrit Holtmann (73.) Successful in the final phase of the 1-2 connection goal for VfL (73.). Substitute Michy Bathshuayi then made the decision with his goal in added time. As table-16. Bochum stays five points behind a safe non-relegation. With 45 points, Eintracht has a firm eye on the Champions League.
However, the game was overshadowed by a scandal before the start of the game. The game could only be kicked off with a 50-minute delay (more about the background of the Banner Klat you can read here). The reason for this was the well -known Bochum problem with the fence flags. A banner of the SGE fans covered an escape route in the guest area and was not removed despite repeated request from the stadium spokesman.
It was only when Eintracht sports director Markus Krösche asked his own fans in the curve at 3:30 p.m. Referee Felix Zwayer, who initially sent the football professionals back into the cabins, had threatened to drop away.
Eintracht had to do without support in its away win. Apparently in protest because they had to hang out a fence flag, a number of SGE ultras left the stadium before the late start of the game. The remaining Frankfurt Appendix only sparsely fired his own team.
The game started 50 minutes later than planned because a well -known Bochum problem had caused trouble again. For the first time since January 2024, a banner in the area of guest fans covered an escape route. 14 months ago, the game against VfB Stuttgart was before the demolition, now that happened again.
Referee Felix Zwayer had sent both teams back to the cabins shortly after 3:30 p.m. because the Eintracht fans initially refused to remove the fence flag. Only after Eintracht sports director Markus Krösche had successfully asked his own fans to hang out the banner 34 minutes after the planned kick-off, it finally continued a little later.
The renewed scandal seemed to employ the guests more at least at the beginning than the Bochumers, which began and confident. However, the VfL was far too generous with the possibilities that Eintracht offered them. Eintracht gradually became awake, but was then more effective.
After almost half an hour, Kristensen achieved the very flattering leadership for the Hesse, who only added five minutes later: Bahoya was freely played by Hugo Ekitiké and was successfully dusting. While Eintracht struck ice cold in front of the gate, the Bochumers struggled and sometimes played too cumbersome.
Even after the change, VfL was missing a lot for a long time. Whenever it became reasonably dangerous, Kaua Santos was also on the spot in Frankfurt’s goal as a representative of the injured Kevin Trapp. The Brazilian was only powerless at Holtmann’s goal. In injury time, Damm aner became even clearer for Frankfurt.
