Eintracht Frankfurt was heading for a home defeat against RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga for a long time – in the end Tuta saved a point with the last action of the game of Eintracht.
After the 1: 1 (0: 1) against Leipzig on Saturday (30.10.2021), Eintracht Frankfurt is now three points ahead of the relegation place with nine points. Leipzig cannot catch up with the top group and remains in eighth place.
“Actually we played a decent away game. Only not in the last 30 seconds,” said Leipzig goalscorer Yussuf Poulsen Sky. But he also criticized the fact that “in the last scene not everyone ran back properly”. This is exactly what his coach Jesse Marsch criticized: “It’s amazing, we had everything under control. But the strikers missed a lot of chances and we make too many mistakes.”
Wrong decision helps Leipzig to take the lead
In a tactical game, Frankfurt was initially well in the game, Filip Kostic hit the crossbar with a failed cross (18th minute).
But then the Leipzigers benefited from a wrong decision. RB was awarded a corner, although Gvardiol was last on the ball. The result: Szoboszlai brought the corner into the penalty area, where Willi Orban extended the cross. Yussuf Poulsen hit the ball with his backside, and Frankfurt’s Toure was still on the ball (35th).
Kostic with the last action
Frankfurt did not recover from the goal conceded for a long time, hardly anything came together up front. Leipzig, on the other hand, was close to the second goal, especially in the 69th minute: Dominik Szoboszlai played free with the ex-Frankfurt André Silva on the right Christopher Nkunku. The failed from close range to Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp, the margin from Szoboszlai went right past.
But Frankfurt worked their way back into the game, and in the fifth minute of stoppage time Frankfurt still scored: Filip Kostic took a free kick from 30 meters into the center, while Tuta was waiting at the right post and headed into the goal.
