Overview
- Eintracht Frankfurt, who broke their road drought over the weekend, went up through first-half goals by Oscar Höjlund and Arnaud Kalimuendo before giving up a stoppage-time strike.
- The victory marked their first away success since November and lifted Albert Riera’s return to 15 points from his first nine Bundesliga matches.
- A rehearsed short free kick from Farès Chaibi, an idea Riera credited to assistant Lorenzo Dolcetti, created the second goal in what sporting director Markus Krösche called a well-worked finish.
- Recurring flaws stayed in focus, with reports noting passive second halves and late lapses, including four of nine goals conceded after the 75th minute under Riera.
- Public mood brightened as Höjlund praised Riera as a “top, top coach” and the manager posted photos with his three children becoming Eintracht fans, while the club now chases a top-seven finish for European play.
