Doan’s 81st-Minute Winner Lifts Frankfurt Past Mainz

A chance-starved derby followed an unprecedentedly quiet first half, highlighting attacking issues on both sides.

Overview

  • Ritsu Doan settled the Rhein-Main derby in the 81st minute, dribbling past two defenders and slotting a low left-footed shot into the far corner for a 1-0 Eintracht victory.
  • Frankfurt climbed to 17 points in seventh place, while Mainz stayed second-from-bottom on five points and remained without a clean sheet.
  • The opening 45 minutes featured just one recorded shot, the fewest in any Bundesliga first half since data collection began.
  • Roughly 59,000 watched at Deutsche Bank Park, with the match shown live and exclusively on DAZN.
  • Both sides rotated after midweek European games; Mahmoud Dahoud made a rare start for Eintracht and former Mainz striker Jonathan Burkardt had limited impact against his old club.
