The Eintracht Frankfurt has continued its festival weeks in the Europa League and can almost plan the next round. The winner of the German Cup won 2-0 (2-0) against Apollon Limbadol of Cyprus and confidently led the third win in the third match.
Filip Kostic (13th minute) and Sebastien Haller (32 years old) quickly took the lead and won the fifth consecutive victory in front of Eurowacht in front of 47,000 spectators. Such a series was the club in March 2012 successful.
"It's fun to win one game after another.We are very happy with that.These victories are very well deserved," said Fredi Bobic of the Frankfurt Sport Board. "The team is doing very well together, it's also our strength, but we should have done the third goal, we've made it unnecessarily exciting."
With nine points and 8: 2, the Frankfurt-led coach Adi Hütter ahead of the favorites of Lazio Roma and Olympique de Marseille surprisingly erase the group from the preliminary round H. Even a victory in the second leg in Limbadol in two weeks, Eintracht guaranteed progression to the semi-finals. Previously, there were two successes in Marseille (2: 1) and against Rome (4: 1).
"It was difficult because the expectations were high today," said defender Marco Russ, "we've made a big step forward to the round of 16. We want to do it as soon as possible and we're on the right track. way. "
The hosts were clearly superior to the underdog from the very first minute, but also benefited from a blatant mistake by the goalkeeper early in the game. A really harmless and unplaced shot from Kostic slid Limbadol goalkeeper Bruno Vale between his legs. Frankfurt beat the unbaduming guests, currently second in Cyprus, then too many playoffs in the other half. Although Limbadol attempted offensive actions, but played no clear chance.
Frankfurt, Luka Jovic, who recently shone in the Bundesliga, gave up his first historic match in Dusseldorf. Instead, coach Hütter went on the offensive on Haller and vice world champion Ante Rebic. The new French fort Haller was beheaded after Evan Ndicka's preliminary work 2-0, shortly after Mijat Gacinovic and Jonathan de Guzman were able to provide the best climate of the European Cup for the next goal .
On the other hand, Frederik Rönnow had long been almost unemployed for the purpose of Eintracht. The Dane played for troubled goalkeeper Kevin Trapp. Trapp's waiver called the Bundesliga secretary "a precautionary measure" after having to deal with muscle problems for the last time.
After two safe lengths, the Hessians initially took a much quieter start and did not always invest everything. At the beginning of the second half, Haller again offered a great chance (50th). Other high profile opportunities remained unused. Frankfurt missed it due to inaccurate attacks, nachzulegen's third goal, but remains confident at the next Bundesliga appearance on Sunday at 1 FC Nuremberg.
Rebic's agitation was not denied in the final phase or a penalty kick. Foti Papoulis failed on the crossbar and his substitute, Marco Russ, saved a shot from Emilio Zelaya just before the line (80)).
