Bloody hell. Not a great job on that set piece. First goal we've conceded on a corner all campaign, and it was positively shambolic.
I couldn't really tell, but it looked like Kaua may have been clipped by his own guy. Either way, you can't spill that. What a gift. We've grown into this one, though. It felt like we were going to level eventually regardless.
Holy smokes, Frankfurt is crumbling here. Kaua Santos just lit into his defenders. Losing their composure.
VfB 2:1 SGE at the half. We really turned this one around at about 30' and were thoroughly in control after that. Let's keep it going, lads!
I think we should have at least another goal, except for their GK. I hope we can keep up the defense and score at least another in the second half.
Well, crap. Ayoube Amaimouni-Echghouyab with the leveler about a minute into his Bundesliga debut. Totally unmarked on the wing. Everyone ball watching. WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT.
Congrats on successfully typing out that entire name!! Yeah, VfB will rue those earlier missed chances.
NARTEY! Undav to Vagnoman to Nikolas for the point-blank, and we're back to a one-goal lead. First league goal for Nartey after his long, long comeback from injury. Frankfurt comes storming back and almost levels again right away. Two good saves from Nübel protect the lead, then we resume the attack. What a match.
That was actually a fun match to watch. My other squads haven't been doing very well lately and those matches haven't been entertaining. This one was. It is also nice that Eintracht don't play park-the-bus football and actually attack aggressively.
It really was a blast. Truth is, Deniz could have cashed in a couple times and put it away, but full credit to Frankfurt, they're seriously vertical. They can really hurt you quick if you're not careful. They've got a couple players, though. Rasmus Kristensen is an animal (great postgame interview, too). Kalimuendo can be a load. But the fact we had so many answers and they didn't goes to show how balanced we really are. This was a terrific win.
