The Japanese Daichi Kamada makes Eintracht Frankfurt dream of further festivals on Europe’s football stage. With his three goals (12th / 43rd / 53rd minute) in the first knockout game of the Europa League against Red Bull Salzburg, the Hessian Bundesliga club laid the foundation for the deserved 4: 1 (2: 0) success and now very much likely progress to the round of 16 of the Europa League.
In front of 47,000 spectators in the sold-out Commerzbank-Arena, the Serb Filip Kostic (56th) scored the fourth goal for last year’s semi-finalists from the Main. The foul penalty converted by Hee-Chan Hwang (85th) leaves the guests at least a spark of hope for the second leg in Salzburg.
