Eintracht secures the lead in the table – but there are bitter moments in the celebration of victory: two national players have to go out due to injuries.
The Bundesliga footballers from Eintracht Frankfurt are almost certain to be top of the table at Christmas. The Frankfurt team won 3-0 (0-0) at the start of the second half of the season against newly promoted FC Carl Zeiss Jena. Carlotta Wamser (68th minute), Remina Chiba (86th) and national player Laura Freigang (89th) scored the goals.
In order to push Eintracht out of first place before Christmas, defending champions FC Bayern need a win by twelve goals at home against 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam on Sunday (from 2 p.m./MagentaSport).
The clearly favored Frankfurt team had a lot of possession in the first half in Jena, but the SGE didn’t have a big chance against the strongly defending hosts. In addition, striker Nicole Anyomi had to be substituted with an injury in the 40th minute. Even after the break, Eintracht initially struggled.
The doublet that came into the game for Anyomi saved the Hessians. Chiba and Freigang made the decision in the final phase. Shortly beforehand, however, national player Sophia Kleinherne also had to go out due to an injury. Tears ran down the central defender’s face, but she was able to walk off the field on her own.
After the conclusion of the 12th matchday on Monday, the league will go into an almost six-week break. Eintracht only gets back into the action at the beginning of February with a home game against Bayer Leverkusen.
