Frankfurt survived the pressure phase in Leipzig and eventually got beyond regular relief. However, RB hardly allowed anything, so Lindström’s cross pass on the counter – Borré couldn’t keep up that quickly – was still the best opportunity for the guests (37th). Leipzig had the next really good chances again: Laimer hit the crossbar from over 20 meters (41′), Nkunku then scored before the break – but only from an offside position (45’+2).

Trapp pulls his arm – Poulsen symbolically

Less than a minute after the restart, Olmo Trapp checked, RB continued to set the tone. But RB also remained wasteful. Nkunku gave up a shot in front of Trapp (52′), ten minutes later the Frankfurt goalkeeper parried by pulling his arm in a one-on-one with Laimer (62′).

Because Eintracht became more self-confident in this phase and Leipzig focused more on counterattacking, the encounter was more open after an hour. While the SGE really didn’t get beyond the beginnings, the Tedesco team only gave up in the last instance.

Nkunku sent substitute Poulsen through, who symbolically delayed several times in front of Trapp and finally played a bad pass (81st). Yes, Alu and yes, Trapp. But Leipzig stood in the way of its good performance above all itself.

RB, who remain ahead of Freiburg and thus (at least) fourth despite probably two points lost, travel to Dortmund on Saturday, April 2 (kick-off: 6.30 p.m.). Frankfurt previously receives Fürth (3.30 p.m.).
