The goals for Eintracht scored Rafael Borré, who was successful in the 15th and 26th minutes.

Frankfurt’s first hit blocks BVB
The Dortmund team started out in the empty stadium in Frankfurt with great enthusiasm and aggressiveness. The attack efforts of Bayern pursuer number one ebbed but as spontaneously as they had started. And that after Eintracht was immediately successful with their first chance to score: Rafael Borré sank a free-kick cross from Filip Kostic in the 15th minute from eleven meters. BVB keeper Gregor Kobel was still on the ball with his hands, but could not prevent the impact.
BVB was shocked – and then completely lost its line. Frankfurt now combined and increasingly pushed the Dortmunders back. And Borré proved that he has now really arrived in Frankfurt. In the 24th minute, the summer newcomer knocked the ball after Daichi Kamada’s preparatory work skillfully from the turn into the far corner – 2-0. Eintracht almost made it 3-0, but Evan Ndicka and Jesper Lindström gave away shortly before and after half-time, respectively.
Hazard brings excitement, Dahoud scores to win
The game then rippled on – BVB had trouble getting a line in its game, Frankfurt limited itself to defense. It almost got boring – until Thorgan Hazard came on (66th) and struck five minutes later: After preliminary work by Erling Haaland and Marco Reus, he coolly marked the 2-1 from 16 meters.
And then the black and yellow even managed the no longer considered possible victory: First, Bellingham equalized in the 87th minute after Meunier’s cross and two minutes later Dahoud scored with a magnificent 17-meter shot to make it 3-2 -Victory.
