Yellow card for Evan N’Dicka (Eintracht Frankfurt)
N’Dicka tackles Antonio on the right wing. He wanted to play the ball, but he was far from it. Clear yellow card.
41
21:42
West Ham’s offensive play is currently limited to the halfway line. Frankfurt has the ball a lot, but in the last third it also becomes too imprecise for the SGE.
38
21:39
Sow plays a pass into the barrel of Knauff into the penalty area. Knauff gets the ball and then goes down. But he doesn’t even ask for a penalty. Johnson had barely touched him.
36
21:36
The entertainment value of the game is limited in this phase. Frankfurt controls the game. The home side are not creating chances at the moment.
33
21:33
The SGE plays some sloppy bad passes in midfield. So far, N’Dicka has been ironing out these individual mistakes, but it’s playing with fire.
31
21:31
Johnson brings a cross from the left in the middle. Bowen comes to the header. But his degree goes beyond that.
30
21:30
West Ham are now moving forward again. The guests put the Frankfurt defensive under pressure. Actually, the pressing should have come to nothing due to being outnumbered, but Eintracht reveals a few technical inaccuracies.
28
21:28
Eintracht took control of the game in front of the goal. The home team is now much more calm on the ball and is pushing West Ham in the back.

21:25
Tooor for Eintracht Frankfurt, 1:0 by Rafael Borré
Frankfurt pushes the door to the final wide open! After a long period of possession, Touré sends Knauff to the baseline on the right. The winger lays the ball flat in the backcourt where Borré is completely free. The striker keeps his nerve from eleven meters and confidently sinks with the right inside into the left corner.
24
21:24
Despite being outnumbered, West Ham are still better in the game. It’s an emotional affair so far and Frankfurt can’t take action yet.
23
21:23
The Frankfurt fans do not show good manners. At West Ham corners, countless cups fly towards the visiting players. This is bad habit and should be avoided.

Substitution at West Ham United: Ben Johnson

West Ham United make Manuel Lanzini a substitute

21:20
Kostić shoots the due free kick from 20 meters flat on goal. The tight shot goes half a meter past the right post.

21:16
Red card for Aaron Cresswell (West Ham United)
Kamada plays a high ball to Hauge. Creswell misjudges, so Hauge goes on goal. Creswell pulls him down though. That should have been red, but the referee only gives yellow at first. Then he runs to the monitor. After looking at the pictures, the referee decides to change. There is rightly the red card for the emergency brake from Creswell.
14
21:14
West Ham are the better side so far, but SBU have now gotten over their initial nervousness. It’s not a spectacle yet because the ball is only between the penalty areas.
13
21:13
Eintracht finds it difficult to play the ball cleanly over the center line.
10
21:10
Frankfurt is now stuck in the guest penalty area for the first time. The flanks from the outside have not yet arrived.
9
21:09
The replay shows that Hinteregger’s injury is due to a slight push from Antonio. But that was not a foul and the striker is not to blame for this injury.

Substitution at Eintracht Frankfurt: Almamy Touré

Substitution at Eintracht Frankfurt: Martin Hinteregger
7
21:07
Now Hinteregger is back on the ground. The change follows.
6
21:06
So far, Frankfurt has been a bit hectic and therefore unclean. West Ham seems more alert at first. Hinteregger returns to the field after treatment. But he probably won’t be able to continue playing.
5
21:05
Hinteregger’s injury was preceded by a running duel with Antonio. However, the striker had not fouled Hinteregger. The injury occurred without the intervention of an opponent.
4
21:04
Hinteregger injured his thigh. The defense chief immediately indicates that he needs to be replaced. This is bitter for unity.
3
21:03
Creswell puts the ball in the middle from the left. Frankfurt only clarifies insufficiently, but a guest player slips away on the margin. So the SGE can clarify.
2
21:02
West Ham puts Frankfurt under pressure early on. The guests get a first corner kick out.
1
21:01
The Spanish referee has kicked off the game. There are clouds of smoke in the Frankfurt Arena. The mood is outstanding.
20:44
David Moyes makes only one change compared to the first leg. The Czech Vladimír Coufal starts in legal defence. For Ben Johnson initially sits on the bench.
20:44
Oliver Glasner makes two changes at SBU compared to the first leg. Evan N’Dicka is back from a suspension from the Barcelona game to replace Almamy Touré in the left-hand back three. Jesper Lindstrøm is also absent with a hamstring injury sustained in the first leg. Jens Petter Hauge starts in attacking midfield for him.
20:30
However, West Ham United should not be underestimated. The Hammers are currently “Best of the Rest” in the Premier League. The east London club are seventh in the table. Six points are missing from the top 6, with one game less. In the quarter-finals of the Europa League, David Moyes’ team showed that they can deliver away from home. After a 1-1 draw at home against Olympique Lyon, the second leg in France was won 3-0 furiously. So Eintracht Frankfurt has been warned.
20:30
For Eintracht Frankfurt, the Europa League is an oasis of well-being this season. Oliver Glasner’s team is only eleventh in the league and has nothing to do with the fight for European places. The last Bundesliga win is now almost two months ago. On March 13, the SGE won 2-1 against Bochum. Since then, the league has lost three times and drawn three times. On the other hand, there are intoxicating nights in the European Cup. The 3-2 win in Barcelona in particular caused a stir. Eintracht also showed their best side in the 2-1 first-leg win against West Ham. The dream of the final is alive.
20:05
Hello and welcome to the UEFA Europa League semi-final second leg. Today at 9 p.m. Eintracht Frankfurt welcomes West Ham United. The first leg in London ended 2-1 for SGE.
