Eintracht Frankfurt wins the direct duel against Freiburg 2-0 and takes 6th place.

What happened?

Goalkeeper Kauã Santos injures himself after just 17 seconds in a rescue action against Matanovic. The Brazilian is hit right in the knee, where he tore his posterior cruciate ligament last April.

How did the players react?

Michael Zetterer takes over for the injured Santos and says: „I hope Kauã's knee isn't seriously damaged.“ Eintracht boss Markus Krösche says: „No, it's probably not the cruciate ligament, but I don't know. There will likely be an MRI.“

How did the game go?

A Matanovic header hits the right post in the first half's stoppage time. Chaibi scores with his first action 43 seconds after being substituted in to make it 1-0. Jonathan Burkardt celebrates his comeback to the starting lineup after a calf injury and 95 days out.

What's next?

Eintracht Frankfurt has now clearly set its sights on 6th place. The last four Frankfurt goals were all scored by substitutes. Chaibi also sets up the 2-0 goal through Bahoya, who conjures the ball into the far corner from a tight angle.
