End of 1st half

9:17 p.m
Shortly before the break, the black and yellow combine again on the right side into the Hessians’ box. Süle finds Brandt in the backcourt, but he shoots a little too hastily from 16 meters and clearly misses the goal.
45.
9:16 p.m
120 seconds are replayed in this first section of the game.

9:15 p.m
Addition time: 2 minutes are added.

9:12 p.m
Yellow card for Arthur Theate (Eintracht Frankfurt)
Nmecha puts the ball past the Belgian on the right wing before it comes in rustically and hits both the ball and the opponent. You can give this yellow card, even if Theate is upset about it.
42.
9:11 p.m
Following the warning, Ebnoutalib becomes dangerous for the first time. But his direct acceptance of the high ball on the left of the penalty area sailed miles past Kobel’s box.
41.
9:10 p.m
Yellow card for Niklas Süle (Borussia Dortmund)
Ebnoutalib escapes from his opponent again and he grabs the jersey of the first division debutant again. That means yellow for Süle.
40.
9:10 p.m
Ryerson can try a free kick from the right wing. The ball reaches the six-yard box very precisely, where Schlotterbeck can rise highest. However, the Dortmund defender brings the header too centrally to Kauã Santos.
39.
9:10 p.m
The men from Main let the Borussia team combine up to the halfway line before the Frankfurters start pressing. However, this can only be observed in phases.
37.
9:08 p.m
Ryerson tries a high cross ball from the right half of the field. The ball flies sharply in front of the Eintracht goal, but no Dortmund player can reach it there. So it continues with a goal kick for Frankfurt.
35.
9:06 p.m
BVB is currently increasingly managing to establish itself in the Frankfurt half. But there is either a lack of precision in Dortmund’s game or a lack of speed. This means the home team can always free themselves.
33.
9:04 p.m
Theate tackles Guirassy hard in his own half, which is completely fair. The Dortmund striker remains lying down for a short time because he was hit painfully in the thigh.
32.
9:03 p.m
For a long time now, Borussia Dortmund has once again appeared in the Hessian penalty area. But Süle’s rather limp cross from right midfield lands directly at Kauã Santos.
30.
9:01 p.m
Daniel Schlager now has a lot more to do than before. The referee currently has to moderate several petty matters, including a Süle slip against Brown, as well as Theate’s revenge against the Dortmund player.
29.
20:58
Yellow card for Waldemar Anton (Borussia Dortmund)
At the halfway line, the defender pulls Ebnoutalib’s jersey to the ground. This consequently results in the first yellow card of the evening.
28.
8:57 p.m
Eintracht often make statements in the midfield in form and somewhat harder fouls. But everything is still within the framework, which Schlager also recognizes.
26.
8:57 p.m
The corner kick creates a danger for Eintracht as goalkeeper Kauã Santos dives under the ball. Since BVB can’t get a decent finish out of the hustle and bustle, the keeper ultimately gets the ball.
25.
20:56
Kristensen Beier makes a clear mark on the right side of the Frankfurt penalty area. But Schlager doesn’t see the action and lets it continue. At least there is a corner kick for the guests.
23.
20:54
Everything back to zero in the Waldstadion! It is quite bitter for BVB to have conceded this annoying, but clear, penalty. Before that, the black and yellow showed themselves well in the game. What will happen next for Niko Kovač’s men?
22.
20:51
Great for Eintracht Frankfurt, 1-1 by Can Uzun
Uzun grabs the ball and hammers the ball hard into the bottom left of the net. Kobel jumps into the other corner and therefore has no chance against this shot.
21.
20:51
There are penalties for Eintracht! Theate can extend a throw-in from the right side with his head into the box, where Koch is clearly hit in the back of the knee by Guirassy when he tries to clear the ball. Schlager decides directly on the justified penalty.
19.
8:50 p.m
Brown is sent deep on the left wing, where the rail player immediately wants to pass the ball flat into the center. But Ryerson intervenes and defends the ball with his chest. Not by hand, as the people of Frankfurt claim to have seen.
18.
8:49 p.m
Brandt underestimates a long ball from the Frankfurt midfield just in front of his own box, which Knauff recognizes and runs straight through. From a very acute angle from a half-left position, the Frankfurter can only find Kobel.
17.
8:48 p.m
The eagle bearers are becoming more active again. Uzun is able to beat Nmecha on the right edge of the penalty area with a feint and send a low shot to the far corner. However, Kobel dived there in time and was able to fend off the ball to the side.
15.
8:46 p.m
After conceding a goal, Eintracht has to invest even more in the game than they already did. The reaction of the Hessians will now be exciting.
12.
8:43 p.m
Borussia is staying tuned! Guirassy finds the gap in the penalty area against Koch and Kristensen and finishes from 17 meters from the middle. However, the left-foot shot sails clearly past the Eintracht goal to the left.
10.
8:39 p.m
Tooor for Borussia Dortmund, 0-1 by Maximilian Beier
With the first goal chance of the evening, Borussia takes the lead! The black and yellow attack on the right side, where Schlotterbeck finds Ryerson with a long ball. The Norwegian takes the ball down cleanly from the air before the following cross comes half-high to the near post, where Beier runs in exemplary and only has to hold on to the left-handed slip from nine meters. Kauã Santos can no longer prevent the ball from hitting the short corner.
9.
8:39 p.m
Due to the persistent rain, the lawn is very slippery and deep. This could get significantly worse over the course of the evening if the weather forecast turns out as predicted.
7.
8:37 p.m
The start of this game has us looking forward to more. The home team are currently operating with the ball between the lines, but without really wanting to get into the danger zone.
4.
8:35 p.m
The guests also appear on the offensive for the first time. Ryerson can pass the ball past Knauff and place it from the right baseline into the back area, where Nmecha can finish directly on the edge of the penalty area. However, the shot attempt is blocked by a man from Frankfurt.
2.
8:33 p.m
The home team starts like the fire department and for the first time comes over the left side, where Brown has a lot of freedom. His cross into the center finds Uzun, who loses the ball in front of the penalty area when attempting to finish.
1.
8:30 p.m
The Bundesliga year has begun! Referee Daniel Schlager released the ball a few moments ago. Let’s go!

Game start
20:13
Three degrees outside temperature and light rain – that’s what it looks like in the stadium at the moment. Light snow showers are also forecast soon, but it probably won’t be as dramatic here as it looks in the north of the country.
8:01 p.m
However, the Swiss goalkeeper has had enough for today and is standing between the posts. In front of him, Anton slides into the starting line-up instead of Can (on the bench). Sabitzer and Beier also replace Adeyemi (on the bench) and Groß, who moved to the island. In addition, young player Mussa Kaba is in the professional squad for the first time.
7:55 p.m
At BVB, however, the winter break was relatively relaxed compared to Eintracht. Borussia, who are in second place, have only suffered one defeat in this Bundesliga season and still have a few problems in terms of play. The defense was often brilliant (12 goals conceded is the second best value of the first division team), but the attack was lacking. So there is no great euphoria among the Black and Yellows, who traveled directly to Frankfurt from the training camp in Marbella. Keeper Gregor Kobel was not on the plane. The Dortmund number one left the training camp in the middle of the week due to illness and back problems.
7:48 p.m
Eintracht would also like to take revenge on Borussia for their exit from the cup in October, when BVB prevailed on penalties. And that’s what Dino Toppmöller is trying to do with five changes to his starting eleven compared to the draw at HSV before the winter break. In goal, Kauã Santos again takes precedence over Michael Zetterer. Theate, Uzun and Højlund also start. Just like newcomer Ebnoutalib. Collins, Amenda and Dahoud are rotated onto the bench for the four, and Bahoya is also missing due to illness.
7:38 p.m
At Eintracht, the squad was happily tinkered with in the short time without games. Due to a mixed first half and a few injury absences, the Hessians acted diligently on the transfer market. While Elye Wahi left the club for Nice, five new arrivals followed: Arnaud Kalimuendo (on loan from Nottingham Forest), second division striker Younes Ebnoutalib (SV Elversberg), Ayoube Amaimouni-Echghouyab (TSG Hoffenheim 2), Love Arrhov (IF Brommapojkarna from Sweden) and Keita Kosugi (Djurgardens IF from Sweden). Especially on the offensive, the Eagles lacked an equivalent replacement before the turn of the year due to Jonathan Burkardt’s failure. This should now have been found in large numbers so that the not entirely ideal first series, currently with 25 points from 15 games, can be ended a little more successfully.
7:31 p.m
After the 19-day winter break, the Bundesliga is finally returning. Even though the break in the German first floor wasn’t particularly long, the players still had some time to breathe over the holidays. That will also have been important because January will be tough again for the teams. While Eintracht Frankfurt has to play seven competitive games in the Bundesliga and premier class, BVB has to play six. The start of this series is this game at the Frankfurt city forest.
7:15 p.m
The Bundesliga year 2026 opens with the game between Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Dortmund. It starts in Deutsche Bank Park at 8:30 p.m. We wish you a good entertainment!
