Freigang Header Earns Eintracht 1-0 Win as DFB Probe Remains Open

An open DFB investigation into missed out-of-competition tests, with no ruling expected before December, could bring a ban of up to two years.

Overview

  • Laura Freigang scored a deflected header that decided Eintracht Frankfurt’s 1-0 away win at Union Berlin on Monday.
  • Freigang has been prolific this season, registering six goals in seven appearances across competitions and remaining Eintracht’s captain.
  • The DFB Kontrollausschuss has investigated missed anti-doping tests since June and the case is unresolved with a formal decision unlikely before December.
  • Coach Niko Arnautis and the club have publicly backed Freigang and kept her in the starting lineup despite the ongoing proceedings.
  • The victory moved Eintracht into the upper part of the table with seven points from three games, but the team missed several chances including a missed first-half penalty by Sara Doorsoun that kept the score tight.
