Penalty for the SGE! The Frankfurters play deep for the first time with a lot of movement, Rode plays a great through ball. Dina-Ebimbe overtakes on the right of the penalty area, MacKenzie trips into his legs and brings him down. Clear thing!

When Frankfurt has the ball, Aberdeen positions itself compactly at the back and does well at the start. For the first time, the Scottish team holds the ball longer and is awarded a free kick in the right half of the field. Jensen takes a follow-up shot, but gets stuck on a Frankfurter.

The Eintracht fans are already in a good mood and things are still quite comfortable on the pitch.

Aaronson’s first corner clearly falls short, but Aberdeen can almost counter. Nkounkou intercepts a deep through pass – important, otherwise the Scots would have been free through.

6:49 p.m
The referee team comes from Cyprus, the man at the whistle is called Chrysovalantis Theouli. After kick-off, Eintracht is in a long phase of possession, which will probably happen a few more times today.

Let’s get started on Frankfurter Eintracht’s next European adventure! The home team plays in black European jerseys with a red stripe, Aberdeen appears in white jerseys.
6:46 p.m
A minute’s silence remembers the victims of the natural disasters in Morocco and Libya.
18:43
SGE coach Dino Toppmöller rotated diligently compared to the 1-1 draw at VfL Bochum: Smolčić and Rode relegated Larsson and Tuta to the bench, Aaronson and Marmoush played instead of Buta and Ngankam.
18:41
The only two previous duels between Frankfurt and Aberdeen (1:1 and 1:0 for the SGE) date from the 1979/80 UEFA Cup competition, which Eintracht ultimately won. It was Frankfurt’s only European Cup title – until a year and a half ago.
6:37 p.m
Given the past strong European Cup seasons, the SGE is still one of the title favorites in the Conference League. Aston Villa and Fenerbahce are also likely to be contenders for the title, Besiktas, OSC Lille, AC Florence and other teams such as Club Brugge and Viktoria Plzen could also fight for the title, plus of course the Europa League relegated teams.
6:33 p.m
Eintracht got off to a mediocre start to the new season under new coach Dino Toppmöller. Although Frankfurt is still unbeaten in competitive games, the SGE was unable to get beyond a 1-1 draw three times in a row in a fairly feasible opening program – against the teams from Mainz, Cologne and Bochum, all of which were in poor form. Hessenderby’s 1-0 win against SV Darmstadt on the first matchday is the only league win of the young season to date.
18:27
The Eagle Bearers from Frankfurt are starting their third European Cup season in a row – and in the third competition. By winning the historic Europa League title in 2022, they qualified for the 2022/23 Champions League season, in which they played a strong group phase and reached the round of 16. However, after a 0:2 and 0:3 defeat against SSC Naples, it was clearly over. In the Bundesliga, Eintracht jumped to seventh place on an exciting final matchday in May and thus qualified for the Conference League.
18:21
From Aberdeen’s perspective, the view of the present is not nearly as brilliant; at the start of the season, the port city residents are in a crisis. In the Scottish league, which is not particularly strong, especially across the board, Aberdeen was unable to win any of its first five games and is in second-to-last place in the table with two draws and three defeats.
6:14 p.m
FC Aberdeen has a successful history to look forward to; under legendary coach Sir Alex Ferguson, the Scots were champions three times in the 1980s and even became the third Scottish club to celebrate an international title: FC Aberdeen won the European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1983 a 2-1 final win against Real Madrid.
6:09 p.m
Frankfurt won the ECL playoffs against Levski Sofia late; after a 1-1 draw in the first leg, it was 0-0 in the second leg until the 79th minute. Ngankam and Skhiri redeemed the SGE fans, thanks to the 2-0 win the Hessians got their ticket to the European Cup.
6:01 p.m
Aberdeen could have qualified for the Europa League, but lost to Swedish club BK Häcken in the playoffs with a draw and a defeat (2:2, 1:3). In the Conference League, Aberdeen is the only Scottish participant, the two competitors lost in the qualifying rounds.
5:55 p.m
The Frankfurters kick off at home and host FC Aberdeen. The Scots, known as the “Dons”, finished third in the last league season behind the two Glasgow clubs – Celtic and Rangers.
17:51
As the head of Group G, Eintracht Frankfurt were drawn interesting and attractive but solvable opponents, for example escaping possible duels with Aston Villa or AC Fiorentina. PAOK Thessaloniki, HJK Helsinki and FC Aberdeen are the attractive opponents, some of whom promise atmospheric games and interesting away trips.
5:45 p.m
Eintracht Frankfurt’s next European tour begins with a home game against FC Aberdeen. The Conference League season begins for the SGE at 6:45 p.m. in Deutsche Bank Park, good evening and welcome!
