Kamada show in the city forest: Thanks to a shiny Daichi Kamada, Eintracht Frankfurt is standing with one and a half legs in the round of 16 of the Europa League. Against RB Salzburg, the excellently laid Hesse won 4: 1 (2: 0) on Thursday evening also deservedly in the amount. The Japanese scored three goals alone (12./43./53.), The fourth goal came from Filip Kostic. For Salzburg, Hee-Chan met Hwang shortly before the end (85th).

Before the game the actual game was not in the foreground. The stadium commemorated the victims of the Hanau attack in a minute’s silence, and both teams also wore a black ribbon. With the kick-off, the calm was over. Eintracht, which started with Makoto Hasebe and Kamada in the starting XI, put the guests under pressure – and was rewarded early.

Kamada scores twice before the break

In the 12th minute Kostic and Almamy Touré switched quickly after a throw-in and staged Kamada, who did not have to be asked twice from a semi-right position in the penalty area and pushed in for the early Eintracht lead. In the period that followed, a game developed that was not high-class, but was brisk. The present Kamada missed the next chance from an acute angle (21st).

The guests from Salzburg presented a respectable game structure in phases in the course of the first half, but there were no really good chances. Also because Stefan Ilsanker (28th) and David Abraham (35th) twice prevented a possible impact with a brave tackle. Eintracht was more consistent on the offensive. Kostic missed a good opportunity (32nd), but after a quick and remarkable counterattack against Hasebe and Djibril Sow, Kamada again scored the 2-0 lead before the break whistle (43rd).

Fast two goals after the restart

After half time the Kamada show finally started in the city forest. After a cross from Evan N’Dicka, the Japanese headed to 3-0 (53.). The man of the evening sent offensive colleague André Silva on the trip, who then served Kostic, who in turn scored 4-0 (56th). Silva was offside when playing Kamada, but despite using the VAR the goal remained valid.

The game was over after this first quarter of an hour in the second half, you could tell that the Salzburgers were now standing completely next to each other, but also the Frankfurters who were now turning up. Sebastian Rode should have increased again only five minutes after the 4: 0, but narrowly missed the goal from eleven meters. Another five minutes later it was Kostic, who also missed after a sensational solo (66.).

Hwang scores with a penalty

Eintracht then had the game, which was finally decided, completely under control – and was able to present a few pieces of cabinet. Silva tried artistically in the 74th minute. His fallback ended up in the hands of RB keeper Cican Stankovic. Substitute Goncalo Paciencia also missed a good chance to score the fifth goal, his shot was blocked (78th).

Shortly before the end, the guest from Salzburg scored his goal. After a supposed foul by Sow on Andreas Ulmer, Hwang scored with a penalty for a flattering 1: 4 from the point of view of the Austrians (85th). This result remained until the end.
