Mainz punishes Frankfurt’s restraint
At least that’s what the first few minutes looked like, because the Mainz team, who started stormily, met a rather reserved opponent. Who soon had to pay for this missing use with a first goal.
After Jonathan Burkardt failed in the 8th minute with a direct acceptance by Frankfurt keeper Kevin Trapp, colleague Ingvartsen did better two minutes later. Against an airy defensive Eintracht, he hammered the ball under the crossbar from ten meters to make it 1-0.
