Eintracht Frankfurt gives up the win after Randal Kolo Muani’s opening goal. The sports director is dissatisfied.
For Eintracht Frankfurt’s sports director Markus Krösche it was 1: 1 (1: 0) in the playoff first leg in the Conference League at Lewski Sofia unlucky but avoidable.
“Something like today happens in football,” said the 42-year-old after the final whistle, but added: “We never really had control after the lead and weren’t consistent enough. Overall, that wasn’t enough, we have to work on that .” Now you have to “recall our performance” at home in a week and win the second leg in order to qualify for the group stage.
After star striker Randal Kolo Muani’s opening goal (6th minute), the Europa League winner conceded a goal from Hassimi Fadiga to equalize in added time. According to Krösche, there is no new status for the French national player Kolo Muani, who is being courted by Paris Saint-Germain. We will see in the next few days what will happen next. So far, the offer from Paris and the demand from Hesse have been about 30 million euros apart.
