Overview
- Frankfurt led twice through debutant Arnaud Kalimuendo inside the first minute and Nnamdi Collins after halftime, before Jens Stage and winter signing Jovan Milošević turned the game for Werder, only for Ansgar Knauff to level at 90+4.
- The assistant initially signaled the ball had gone out before the cross to Knauff, but referee Benjamin Brand let play continue and the review showed it had not fully crossed the line.
- Eintracht’s defensive slide continued with 39 goals conceded, the worst record in the league, and a third straight match with three against in 2026.
- Sporting director Markus Krösche publicly criticized recurring errors and declined to give a clear backing to coach Dino Toppmöller, saying the team cannot continue performing this way.
- Werder’s winless league run stretched to seven matches despite encouraging signs from Milošević on his home debut and strong spells of play that left players describing the draw as feeling like a defeat.
