Borussia Dortmund loses to Frankfurt and reaches its third consecutive defeat in the Bundesliga
Ekitike and Hojlund scored the goals for the Frankfurt side against Dortmund. Omar Marmoush, who is about to join Manchester City, did not play.
There was no Marmoush , but there was no problem either. Eintracht ‘s Egyptian striker , who is very close to joining Manchester City , did not play, but Ekitike and Hojlund were enough for the Frankfurt team to beat Borussia Dortmund 2-0.
It was in the 8th minute that the first dangerous opportunity arose, with Guirassy heading the ball high up the pitch against the post. Ten minutes later, with Dortmund looking more threatening, it was Eintracht who took the lead: Ekitike sent Kristensen into space, the full-back crossed and the Frenchman himself finished first time. Celebration broke out in the packed Frankfurt stadium , which could have been lively again before half-time, but Knauff hit the post.The score at half-time was 1-0, which forced Dortmund to increase the pressure in the second half. Nuri Sahin’s team were fighting to avoid a third consecutive Bundesliga defeat . Despite the improvement and the pressure applied to Eintracht , the home side did not give in defensively and managed to keep out the opposition’s initiatives, especially through crosses. Even so, the visitors still had to complain about two penalties: in the second, Guirassy seemed to feel the contact and subsequently fell, but in the first, in the 76th minute, Jamie Gittens appeared to be carried beyond the limits of the foul.In a moment when the away team was all for everything, Hojlund took advantage of a poor clearance by Bensebaini to get one-on-one with Kobel and seal the final result. Even without Marmoush , Eintracht won. At the end, the Egyptian came onto the field and greeted his teammates. From now on, it will have to be without him.
