And it goes on again

Games at Leverkusen remain a dubious pleasure for Eintracht Frankfurt. The Werkself's 3:1 win is the ninth home victory in a row against the Hessians - with a goal difference of 32:5. More important than the numbers, however, are the effects on the standings: Bayer continues its race to catch up and moves up to sixth place in the table. A few weeks ago, that was still a utopian scenario.

The match was characterized by intensity and physicality in the early stages. The direct duels were not overly unfair, but at times unnecessarily heated and boisterous. But it was precisely in those first ten minutes that the Werkself picked up the necessary aggressiveness to successfully hold their own in the game. And it was once again our fast top players who set the decisive accents after the one or other pass from Flo Wirtz, thus tempting the opposing defense into making mistakes. That's good.
